I've never really been a huge fan of MirandaSings or Colleen. Not because she's a bad person or anything, it's just that her stuff has never really been my cup of tea. When I heard about this show coming out on Netflix, I decided to look forward to this show with an open mind.
Sadly, I was a bit disappointed. You can only watch an annoying character be obnoxious before it actually starts to annoy you for so long, let alone eight 30-min episodes. Watching the way too dysfunctional and messed up family fall apart even more just makes it awkward and uncomfortable to watch. Basically, it feels like watching an annoying kid in your school yelling at and arguing with her parents in the school parking lot for too long. The only good things I can say is that Colleen did a pretty good job playing her part as Miranda (which is pretty much expected as she plays the role all the time). The writing was also better than expected. I guess the point I'm trying to get across is that it could've been worse, and thankfully it wasn't.
Also, who is the target demographic of this show? I know most of Miranda's fans are probably 12 year old girls or something, so the rating of TV-14 just cut off a lot of potential viewers. I don't know, maybe I'm just judging the situation wrong. Besides that, most of the audience for this show are probably already fans of Miranda, so they'll just mindlessly watch and "enjoy" this show just because of that fact that it's a show with Miranda as the main character, without thinking about what the actual content is.
Overall, this show is basically Zach Stone is Gonna Be Famous, except Zach has been replaced with a self-obsessed brat with a voice that gets old after a while with a creepy uncle. And minus the comedy. Didn't really know what I was expecting.
