Zero Chill Review

Dear Netflix: Please do SOME research! Here are some things you should know before watching Zero Chill, the new teen Netflix show that is as fresh as a landfill: 1. There are 15 ice rinks in England (not including Ireland and Scotland) 2. There are over 100 rinks in Canada 3. Hockey is not a big sport in England a. The leagues keep changing, hence the lack of interest 4. No one would move to England for hockey. No one. And certianly NOT from Canada. 5. Female skaters rarely practice in a dress and when we do, it usually isn't all sparkles. 6. Finding a Pairs partner is hard, really hard. And sometimes impossible, regardless of how taleneted you are. 7. If you're going to break into an ice rink (which is much harder than it looks), you'd turn on the lights. At least SOME lights. Placing two dozen flashlights on the ice to practice is just stupid, to say nothing of dangerous. 8. Similiar pairs is only accepted in a few situations: The Gay Games; The Ice Skating Institute; show programs at some competitions. Can you just decide you're going to do similiar pairs at a "run of the mill" competion? You can try. The referee will blow the whistle and you will be disqualified. 9. Hockey skaters and figure skaters NEVER practice at the same time. Can you imagine it? Jumping, spinning, dodging hockey pucks... 10. The figure skating outfits look like someone went to a 1980s garage sale, looked at all the sparkles, shiny material and beads and said, "Yep, that just SCREAMS 2021!" This show is so awful it took ten days to finish watching one episode. And to think I felt Spinning Out was bad. However, I will never figure out how those skaters drank so much and still were able to get up in the morning to practice... All you need to do is some research. Go to an ice rink, ask questions at a club session or a freestyle session. Then ask questions during a hockey session. Then hire decent writers... It's Netflix, I'm asking too much. Zero Chill is the correct title for this crap because it's a zero.
