Review of Dare Me

Dare Me (2019–2020)
7/10
'Dare Me' Accomplishes Its Objective
2 January 2021
Televisions shows should be judged, in part at least, by whether it delivers on its implied promise to the intended audience.

'Dare Me' is a young adult show that delivers teen drama to it's intended audience, and actually surpassed my expectations. The show was not produced to be the next 'Breaking Bad,' but it was a successful show if you consider the audience and the intended outcome.

'Dare Me' is a drama/mystery/teen show about a high school drill team's quest for success, it focuses on three main characters - the coach and two team members. The show on the surface appeared to be about teenage drama and angst, but 'Dare Me' takes a strong turn toward crime and mystery - very interesting. 'Dare Me' really picks up steam towards the end of the season, so you should watch all episodes before passing final judgement.

The acting and production is good, while the writing is surprisingly engaging/ twisty for a show in its genre. Best of all, 'Dare Me' does not seem to be on track to progress without any meaningful resolutions like some shows ('Pretty Little Liars' or 'Lost.')

A side note, I have never seen an active duty Marine wear his hair so long - does not affect my review though.
