StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

milissa this show is the best i have ever seen on TV in my entire life. Great for kids, tweens, teens, and even adults! this show get's to much hate so don't listen to the other reviews because I know you will love it. The dancing is amazing (especially from briar nolet who plays Richelle), I agree the acting isn't the best in the world but it is still good and the dancing and story lines makes up for it 100%. I truly recommend you watch this show, you will not regret it I promise.

jonajon You know, I am a guy who likes movies and television, because they can make you feel something that you may not feel in the first place, and because of that the Next Step is a big pile of garbage.I have some major issues and some minor issues, let me present them to you.Major issue no. 1: the show is unintelligent. The most recurring thing in the series is a cut to one of the actors sitting in a chair talking about the thing they just experienced (just like in reality shows), that idea could work, but it doesn't. The way it is used is the cheapest way of explaining the specific character's motivation I have ever seen, for example if an evil girl wants a good girl to break up with a guy (for unspecific reasons for the most part) it will cut to the evil girl sitting in a chair saying that the other girl must break up with the guy because of something, then it cuts to the evil girl saying to the other girl to break up, then it cuts to the good girl saying that she is really shocked and so on. The point is, that if this had been in some quality entertainment, her thoughts and actions would have been implied, so that the viewer could figure it out for themselves. This is also seen in the way we get to know that the characters have secrets, because if this is supposed to be a show, the other ones, who don't know of the secret, will know the secret because they see it explained. Stupid. they also spontaneously change their clothes as it cuts from the scene to the actor sitting in the chair.What further proves the stupidity of the show is the constant stream of drama and conflicts that seem to pop up everywhere, it's so unrealistic! you must assume that the adults in charge of this wild horde of teens could do something to stop it, but no, no no no, they do nothing.Major issue no. 2: the dancing, acting and characters. The show is about dancing, so it should have some good dancing right? No. the dancing is fine, but the problem is the style. The main team consists of hip hop dancers, break dancers, freestyle dancers, ballet dancers etc. how the heck do you make a choreography that suits everybody? It would make more sense to have a team who danced the same kind of dancing.The acting is of course terrible, but with this kind of show it is expected. They overreact to every single thing, and it gets annoying very fast.The characters are plain and boring, you don't fell sorry for any of them at all, with the exception of two characters, Chloe and Emily. Their stories stand out and kinda makes you root and feel sad for them, and they are the reason I gave it 2 instead of 1 star.Major Issue 3: the story. In the first season they win the regionals, which means they are the best studio in their region. End of show, but no. They continue and get to the nationals, where they win again. OK fine, end the show, NO! in the third season they go to the internationals, where they win. Sigh. announcing season 4: this time, we go to the galactic finals, where we win!I have some more minor issues, but the biggest one is the use of songs, they use the same song over and over and over again, that is just annoying.

thenukeduke Armpits stink. Pigs stink. Corpses stink. Sewers stink. Poop stinks. This show stinks even more. Normally, you'd expect a school play to have the worst acting possible but alas, this show exists. Watch Sharknado and then watch a few episodes of this, the Sharknado cast will seem a lot more talented in comparison. None of the cast show any range or believably portray their individual, one-dimensional characters who display the emotional maturity of a two year old with anger management issues.This show is extremely boring and repetitive - each episode normally has the same routine (no pun intended); badly choreographed dancing, terrible dialog, underwritten and pointless relationship drama, badly choreographed dancing, end. Nothing ever happens on this show and that makes it boring.The characters are well and beyond shallow and as such, you can't give a damn about any of their exploits, including their hopelessly dysfunctional relationships. The adults on the show are beyond irresponsible, never noticing the troupe threatening conflicts on the show and it doesn't help that they're generally just negligent.You wanna know something else about this show's conflicts? They're more contrived than creationism. Random characters turn up, random characters conspire against each other. In the second season, there's endless talk about "nationals" and "the challenge". Neither of these things cause tension and they just become annoying after a while - Every other line of dialog is "Nationals, nationals, nationals". If you used CTRL+F to find every use of "nationals" and "the challenge" in the show's scripts, you end up with a show that's about fifteen minutes long and fifteen minutes TOO long.In summary, this show lacks in character development and compelling story lines, replacing both of those with terrible dance choreography and terrible relationship drama which makes the relationship drama in Godzilla (2014) seem realistic in comparison. To Heck with this show.

shaniah26 I seriously love this show! It's unlike anything else that's on Disney Channel at the moment. I love the drama the show has. I love the dancing, and the actors are actually the ones dancing and no doubles are being used, so I think it's great! Also I love all the characters, they're all different and unique. The show appeals to a different audience than the regular shows on Disney. I know they could improve a lot on the acting but not everyone is good when they start out, and plus not all actors are bad. Some are actually pretty good. If a great dancing show that has a lot of drama and B grade acting doesn't sound like the thing for you then simply don't watch it.
