Review of Sugar Rush

Sugar Rush (I) (2005–2006)
5/10
Decent coming of age story, with a killer soundtrack.

It was back when LGBTQ whatever series, didn't have to be antagonistic to appeal to « most ». There were no preachiness or hidden agendas, because it was a show that never shied away from its true intentions, and ended up exactly where it intended to. Season one had the perfect balance of after school special and wacky storylines. But season two didn't, and I started to lose interest near the end of the series. British series have this way of entertaining you with relatable characters and situations. Sugar Rush had a great premise. Who never went through this? Wether you identify with Kim or Sugar, you can watch the series and recall your own secret crush, or the person you suspected had one for you. Apart from the show straying from its promising premise, another thing I didn't like about season 2, was how the Sugar character becomes too larger than life, and her over the top adventures and unrealistic storylines, made her storylines less believable. As colorful as Kim's family was (to say the least) her own were more grounded in reality and day to day events. It's a bold series, and is far more appealing and relevant than all of today's woke nonsense, so it is worth checking (online mostly).
