I watched the first three episodes and have not really been impressed but the portrayals of the skate moms and rink grapevine really stood out for me as well. Like Oshun, I have a child who danced; all that looked VERY familiar to me!
We can’t expect accuracy, of course, but I was amused by the very first scene, showing a packed house of very involved spectators, at what appears to be a junior-level regional or sectional competition.
Wait til they go to sectionals at the end of the season. That arena is more decked out with professional banners than both of the Nationals I have attended were. And it is a packed house, too.
And the first place pair team somehow skates their free skate 20 minutes after a ladies short program that we were told was the first one. I am so confused by the competition scheduling. Apparently, it's all just random.
Plus, coaches frequently quit and leave the premises in the middle of their skater's program. Happens all the time.
