Spinning Out is the first trashy Netflix binge of 2020

"The series is at its best as an exposé of the sacrifices entire families make in order to train an Olympic-caliber skater and the ways in which generational poverty and mental illness are derided in the luxury sport," writes @kpfallon https://t.co/na3SVtRdRs

January Jones's awful acting was too much of a turn off for me. The skating is beautiful, but wow - between the mom's portrayal of (spoilers) bipolar disorder and the sister's general attitude, I just couldn't continue.

Trashy series with a luxury sport element? Netflix knows what they’re doing, and I’m a willing participant.

This is on my list for when I finish Cheer on Netflix (I’m on the last ep). That’s more of a docu series and the cheerleaders’ stories are all so compelling. I’m such a sap.

Cheer was amazing! I felt for so many of those kids, those back stories/childhoods were wild.

I haven't watched it yet but I plan to catch it later. I'm here for this Virtue/Moir fanfic.

Omg! Yes! It was actually really good. I liked it a lot. It was very addictive. And even if the subject of Mental Illness wasn't portrayed correctly, it was refreshing for it to be the center of a tv show for once. We need more exposure. I'll take what I can get. I hope there will be another season. It felt unfinished at the end for me.
