Be Real: Greenhouse Academy

Recently I needed a new show to watch on Netflix.  I found Greenhouse Academy and it looked interesting, so I said to myself why not give it a shot and if I end up hating it I turn it off and find something else.  This TV series is an original from Netflix.  There are two series and the episodes are short which is really nice in some cases.  The show is addicting and leaves you on a cliffhanger at the end of the episode making you want to watch more.  To give you an overview of the show it is about a family that the mother is going in a space shuttle into space, but the shuttle is blown up. The family takes this hard and the two children Alex and Haley end up getting into the Greenhouse school which is where their mom studied.  At the Greenhouse there are two teams the Ravens and the Eagles.   Haley is on the Ravens and Alex is on the Eagles.  Throughout the series we know more than the characters do, but as it goes on the characters start to find out what we know.  During the show there are relationships that form, ones that fall apart, and friendships made.  When clicking on the overview of the show on Netflix it says that it is from ages 11-12.  The show can be watched by 11 and 12 year old's but personally I feel that that teenagers that are 18 could watch this show.  Giora Chamizer the director did such an amazing job with the show.  The lighting during scenes and the cuts and musics where just as they were supposed to be.  The theme throughout this was even if you are on opposing teams that doesn't mean you can't come together.  This theme is show so much more toward the second season when Haley and Daniel come together to figure out what is going on.  To give you a little incite on what is going on Daniel's girlfriend was hypnotized and Haley and Daniel realized it so they needed to dehypnotize her.  While trying to find out how to dehypnotize her Haley and Daniel found out so much more and it involved Daniel's mother and Haley's mother.  A couple other characters also got involved in the process, but everything was a secret.  The characters that were also involved also couldn't trust anyone.  One thing that I hope is that more seasons are made.  With there only being two seasons and the episodes being short it does not take long to get through the entire show.  The ending was good and well put together, but I wish there was more.  If you are into drama/romance/science this show is something I suggest you watch.  Science is brought in but it is not all about science and how it works.  Overall this show is good,good.  If you watch Greenhouse Academy and are looking for other shows and movies similar to it here are some to check out: (they might not exactly be the same with having science in them)
