adenybaloi Review of Hannah Montana

Hannah Montana (2006–2011)

This is an honest review (not a hater & not a deluded fan)

[7/10 · 26 August 2015]

I've seen a lot of user reviews of this show and I am a bit disappointed. Most of the reviews are just haters doing their best to trash this show. Luckily, at the time this show was airing, I wasn't watching because I didn't have access to Disney Channel. I say luckily because if I did, I would probably join the list of the people who were sick and annoyed at this show. I only watched this last year and I must say, I had fun with it. Don't get me wrong, I saw flaws, especially in season 1. The acting was disappointing for some, some jokes weren't that funny (the laugh tracks didn't help) and the show was a bit two over-the- top. These problems are even more notable in the first 3 episodes. However, overtime you start to adapt to the show's nature and also it starts diminish the flaws. You can still still spot these flaws in later seasons, but they are not worse than when the show began. The show also has great features: it has exciting story lines, the characters are lovable, it has some funny puns and a few pop culture references, it's cute funny (rarely inappropriate), it recognizes teenager's struggles and even though some episodes seemed repetitive, there aren't so much clichés in the stories, not that I even seen. What I liked more about this show are Miley & Lily. Miley Stewart wasn't interesting in season 1, but after season 2 she became an actual character and way funnier, with her many quirks and over-the-top jokes, behavior and plans. Lily is also very funny, ever since the first season. Jackson was silly, unfunny and irrelevant for me at first, but after the show took his love/hate relationship with Rico more seriously, he became more interesting, along with Rico. Robby Ray, in spite of his not so good acting, has always been hilarious, inspiring and memorable. Even though the show's main premise is about a lie, the show is very educative. The show tried to show us something new in TV for kids and despite the flaws and what many people say, I think it did.
