Such a frustrating disappointment
Good start, but then it gets ruined
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
View MoreA film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
View MoreI came across this show a fortnight ago on Amazon Prime and it was so good that I finished it in 2 days. However, I was surprised that Amazon hasn't yet renewed it for a second season. I got so hooked that I will read the original book by Alex Morgan on which the show is based as Amazon seems to have gone in a slumber. Devin, the main protagonist is so inspiring who despite her initial struggles manages to establish a deep friendship with her teammates and manages to transform a shambolic team into a team that plays together and wins together. She is determined, hardworking, loyal and yet not perfect which is so realistic. I must add that it is so good to see the way these girls have been portrayed. Strong, athletic, independent and caring and not the usual teen drama that is usually portrayed. The interaction of the team amongst themselves and with coach Rivas is so fun to watch. Also, the football plays were so nicely shot and executed especially that boys VS girls match. The bond between the siblings, Devin and her little bro is so endearing as they are poles apart in personality, yet care for each other. The other characters like Zoe, Emma, Mirabelle are also very well developed.I must say I loved the show so much that the fact they call it soccer instead of football didn't bother me in the least bit. So Amazon, be good and please renew it for a second season!!!
View MoreMy daughter loves this show! She loves soccer and basketball and is dying to know what happens next. It is a great show that the whole family enjoys, which I love because it isn't annoying! My daughter loves the story lines and the characters. We were a little late in finding this show, but I hope it gets renewed it is actually a show she can watch with her 4 year old brother and they both enjoy it!!
View MoreThe Kicks is a perfect TV show for athletic teenagers as they can relate to it. In my opinion The Kicks is one of my favourite TV shows as I enjoy sports related shows/movies and this one hit my standards. Even though it is quite cliché, it has a great story line and is enjoyable to watch.I recommend this to young teens.I literally can not wait for the next season to come out. I hope the show stays fun and entertaining. Also the show is very encouraging for young girls to play sports or join a sports team. Great show, totally recommend it!
View MoreMy wife, daughter and I were very disappointed that this show did not, or has not yet been extended for a full season. Great acting, concept and I know it will be a hit with the millions of soccer families in America.My daughter recently began o!saying soccer, which is what made us try out this show. The main character, Devin, is a strong young female lead with great character. when we finished episode one, we were very disappointed that there were no additional episodes. Please continue this show, it is sure to be a success. I mean,it has an 8.6 rating! We have been very impressed with Amazon's original kids shows thus far and would be extremely disappointed if this is all you have planned for The Kicks.
