Rise it not groundbreaking or amazing but it's entertaining and has lots of potential for character back story and growth. I was entertained for the full 45 minutes and found myself looking forward to the next episode. It is like glee and highschool musical but as long as you go into it expecting that and understanding that it's not a brand new story or intricate plot then you'll like it. The acting is good enough, I have definetly seen a lot worse.
