I love ice skating and still watch The Cutting Edge, but opposed to a film with a set amount of time to discover the characters, as a show it allows you the opportunity to really become immersed and connect to each person and become to know them much deeper. This show captures you immediately as it not only takes you into the never seen world of competitive skating but into the lives of each character allowing you to connect in a way many shows do not.
It shows the pressure, stress and sacrifice necessary to compete but the bravery to show how traumatic it is living with a mental condition which can be disabling and affect all those around the suffers.
I was caught up instantly and cannot wait for Season 2. Excellent writing, acting, skating and drama with a balance of all which leaves you waiting for more.
I watched the whole season straight through and thank you for not having to wait weekly.
It’s a show not only for skating fans but for anyone who enjoys a drama with a mix of everything and I recommend it without any hesitation. Thank you Netflix.
