Netflix’s Best New Show Lands A Perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes Score

It’s been some time since we’ve seen a Netflix collection launch with a 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating, however now the service has landed a brand new one. At the least for now.

The present is Finding Her Edge, a brand new ice skating drama that shouldn’t be confused with Spinning Out, one other Netflix ice skating drama that was cancelled after one season. Fortunately, its star, Kaya Scodelario, went on to hit it large in Netflix’s The Gents thereafter.

Proper now, Discovering Her Edge has 100% Rotten Tomatoes critic score, although a decrease viewers rating for now. There aren’t many critiques in but, but it surely’s a stable sufficient begin. Right here’s the synopsis for the collection:

“Three sisters navigate the pressures of their household’s determine skating legacy; Adriana, trains with new accomplice Brayden whereas nonetheless loving ex-partner Freddie; a pretend romance with Brayden for sponsorship provides to her challenges.”

The “pretend romance for publicity” idea is definitely related nowadays. We’ve seen some stars lean into “rumors” to advertise their tasks. Prior to now, that was Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney for Something However You. Now, folks suspect that is what Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie try to do for Wuthering Heights. Oops, focus. Again to ice skating.

Discovering Her Edge stars relative unknown Madelyn Keys as Adriana, who’s a lifeless ringer for Jennifer Lawrence. At the least 70% of the way in which there, at the very least. I don’t acknowledge a single identify from the remainder of this solid record, younger or previous. Co-star Harmon Walsh has starred in at the very least 4 Christmas romance films.

And…I might say you possibly can inform. Not only for him, however this complete present has that “vibe” between the appearing and writing. My spouse has been watching it, and from what I’ve seen, I’m unsure the place this 100% is coming from. As extra critiques are available, it might lose it, however right here’s what critics are saying up to now:

• The Hollywood Reporter: “Blunt, inoffensive and sometimes diverting with out ever being fully engrossing, it’s in all probability greatest loved within the background when you commute or fold laundry or (let’s be actual) scroll your cellphone.”
• What She Said: “The eight parter is a Hallmark early induction piece, however kudos to the actors who give their all, on ice and dry land.”

Yeah, see, I’m not the one one to make that Hallmark connection there. Watch it, you’ll see. Or don’t watch it, which might be what I might advocate except you actually like ice skating or Hallmark Christmas films.
