I enjoyed it very much for fiction, as most competitive skaters at the level they are displaying are not really hanging out drinking in a club house of course. The horrid skating parents portrayed can be very real and sadly do try to psych out and emotionally hurt younger skaters. I would like a second season, but question if this show will have enough appeal for anyone who really knows the sport, as an athlete, coach or parent. It is certainly not for the young skaters who wish to be inspired.
