“Spinning Out” is a ten episode series on Netflix that was released in 2020. The story begins when Kat Baker experiences a brutal fall during one of her figure skating performances. Even though it was a serious injury, she became determined to continue her skating career, leading her to a new opportunity - being partners with Justin. The rest of the series follows Kat as she navigates through mental illness, family issues, friendship, and regaining her ability to comfortably skate again.
This show is very captivating; ranging from beautiful figure skating performances to much darker topics. Kat is a very interesting main character, as we follow her through many rough times and watch her grow. Although romance isn’t the main plotline, it is still fun to watch. The two main love interests don’t like each other at first, but eventually they learn to get along. There are also some great characters. I loved the relationship Dasha had with Justin, it was really heartwarming. I also loved the way Mandy became a mother-figure to Kat when she needed one most. The one critique I would have is the writing. Sometimes it felt unnatural and could have flowed nicer.
Overall, I rate this show a 4/5. Although I do feel like the dialogue could have been better, I still feel that it was very interesting and held my attention the entire time.
