So, everyone's obsessed with Cheer, right? Season one was HUGE. We all became experts on Navarro and their rivals. Season two brought the drama. But… do we actually *need* a season three?
The Cheer-leading Question on Everyone's Minds
Let's be honest. Netflix knows how to make a hit. They gave us inside access to the intense world of college cheerleading. We witnessed the triumphs and the tears. The injuries and the ultimate victory (or devastating defeat).
Season two felt… different. COVID hit. The pressure was on. We saw more of the personal lives of the cheerleaders. Monica Aldama juggled fame and responsibility.
Why I’m Not So Sure About Season 3
Here’s my controversial take: maybe we should leave it alone. Some stories are just good as they are. Dragging it out could ruin the magic. Don't hate me!
Think about it. We've seen the grind. The dedication. The sheer athleticism. How many more times can we watch someone risk their neck for a national title? (Literally.)
Plus, the cast changes. People graduate. Coaches move on. The dynamic isn’t the same. Trying to recreate the season one feeling is impossible.
Remember all the Jerry Harris drama in season two? Yeah, some things are better left in the past. It was heavy. It was uncomfortable. And it's definitely not the kind of storyline I want to see amplified.
The (Admittedly) Alluring Argument FOR More
Okay, okay, I get it. There's still a pull. We love Navarro. We want to see their continued success. We want to see new faces rise through the ranks.
And let’s face it, competitive cheerleading is visually stunning. The stunts are incredible. The choreography is captivating. It's hard to look away. The sport is just amazing.
Maybe a different format could work. A spin-off focusing on individual athletes? Or a deep dive into the world of all-star cheerleading? Just throwing ideas out there.
My Unpopular Opinion: Leave the Mat Alone
Here’s the thing. Some things are special because they're fleeting. We experienced Cheer at a specific moment in time. Season one was lightning in a bottle.
Trying to bottle that lightning again often leads to disappointment. Think about all the sequels that failed to live up to the original. We all have examples that are burnt in our minds, don't we?
I'd rather remember Cheer for what it was: an amazing, intense, and surprisingly heartwarming documentary series. A snapshot of dedication. A testament to teamwork.
Let’s cherish those memories. Let’s re-watch the old episodes. Let’s leave the mat undisturbed. Let's appreciate Monica Aldama for her exceptional leadership.
So, will there be a season three? Who knows! Netflix holds all the cards. But personally? I'm voting for a respectful bow. A graceful dismount. And a final, triumphant cheer for what we already have. No more! What is your opinion?
