Victorious (2010–2013)
9/10
Bizarrely enjoyable watching it 10 years later, in my mid 20s
8 September 2020
I was 15 when this show came out. I watched some episodes here & there and found it enjoyable enough, but didn't love it....it wasn't "mature" enough for my "discerning palette" (I mainly watched Gossip Girl, Vampire Diaries, Pretty Little Liars, etc. hahaha). In fact, most of my exposure to this show came from babysitting a little girl who was obsessed with it, so that probably also made me feel "too old" for it (gotta love teenager logic!). Zoom forward to 2020 and the craziness of this year, and out of boredom (and possibly psychological regression) I've revisited this show on Netflix. Only....I'm amazed at how much I am genuinely enjoying it! True, parts of this show haven't aged well....at all. But, it has some truly funny moments, catchy songs, and the cast had great chemistry overall. And of course it's fascinating to see Ariana Grande shine as Cat Valentine in the days before her mega stardom/success. Victorious didn't take itself too seriously, and as long as you don't either, you might just find yourself watching all 4 seasons in an alarmingly quick span like I did.
