Look. This show is amazing, but you need to know what you’re getting into in order to appreciate it.

Are you looking for a plot that makes even the slightest bit of sense at any point? Then Super Star Academy is not for you. Do you love shows that are so bad they’re good? It… might not actually be what you’re looking for, either, but you should give it a try.

If you want absurdist humor that doesn’t take itself seriously for one moment, so sometimes you can’t quite tell if something is a joke or a plot hole, wrapped in actually pretty darn decent acting, this IS the show for you. I was expecting “so bad it’s good,” but it turns out the writers are the funniest people on earth. The fact that they do not at any point care if the plot makes sense is a bonus, not the main event.

Another bonus: The principal/president of the school is probably the best character of the show, and near the end they could have ruined that by having him be creepy with a student but they did not. Kudos to them for not going for the obvious, cheap “humor”.
