At first, my 12 year old daughter asked me to watch the show with her. From her description, it sounded silly.Of course, I watched it anyway to spend time with her. To my suprise, I absolutely love it. I have been binge watching it with her. I am already looking foward to Season 2 and I am on Episode 21. The only thing that i can complain about is the hip hop dancing. The characters are very well played. I actually found myself yelling at Thea a dozen times. Whoever thought that a Russian princess, ballet, and tme travel would make for such a wonderful show.
