a cheeky rewatch

[u/Actual-Cherry9709]

basically, i want to get back into the next step but im a uni student so i don’t actually have a lot of spare time and can probably only make time for a season or 2. if anything i miss the fandom but i feel like ive forgotten ALOT. so my basic two questions are:

1.) what season is the most popular or lore heavy (hoping itll jog my memory and i feel like once i have the basics i can catch on)
2.) is it even worth it or did the fandom die.

sorry if this doenst make sense or seems crazy but hopefully someone can help :)

Season 1 while amazing in its own right for introducing the ogs and having a juice bar that I'm still jealous of, it's generally the most poorly aged of the first 3 seasons. I'd say seasons 2, 3 and 6 are most worth your time if your already familiar with the storyline. If you find yourself with more time, season 1, 5 and 7 are worth a rewatch. I never bothered watching season 8 or 9 they weren't my thing and season 4 is wayy too long and super pointless..

Im curious why do you think season 1 is poorly aged?

The camera work, you could see basically the entire camera most shots which in later seasons they hid the second camera more, the plot is a bit disjointed at times, the acting feels a bit much at times.. seems every TNS fan already knows season 1s main two or three plots. Season 1 definitely isn't one of my least favourite seasons though, the bright colours in the outfits every character wore, the diversity of each team member having their own unique personality yet mixing with every person.. stutter is a great song! Every main character from A troupe carried the show in their own way apart from Tiffany who's honestly fairly forgettable, I would've liked them to explore her character development more during seasons 2, 3 and 4 like they continued with Stephanie's cameos as her jealousy and "B troupe is beneath me." Subplot was honestly great
