United States	Liz Kocan Decider	"[4th Season Review]: It ends on a high note that you won’t want to miss"	POS
United States	Felicia Fitzpatrick AV Club	"[4th Season Review]: In its last outing, the Disney Plus show gets too meta for its own good"	NEU
United States	Jackson McHenry Vulture	"[4th Season Review]: I remain impressed by the sleight of hand it managed to get away with, gesturing toward the big and conceptual while slipping in something cozy and real"	POS
United States	Rae Torres Collider	"[4th Season Review]: it doesn’t start off on quite the right note, but finds its footing in the second half as it remembers what makes the series so quirky and heartfelt, to begin with"	NEU
United States	Gillian Bennett Paste Magazine	"[4th Season Review]: It’s extremely nostalgic to finally see our faves reap the benefits of all the insanely hard work they have been putting in (...) We’re happy for them, but we hate to see them go"	POS
United States	Caroline Framke Variety	"[1st Season Review]: A sweet and very silly version of 'Glee' (...) [Some] aspects of the show remain frustratingly similar to the movie’s overwhelmingly two-dimensional approach"	NEU
United States	Vinnie Mancuso Collider	"[1st Season Review]: [It] is as charming and endearingly tongue-in-cheek as that title would suggest. It mostly exists in that sweet spot between pure empty nostalgia and something completely new (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Ethan Anderton SlashFilm	"[1st Season Review]: The cast of this series is generally outstanding (...) I walked away from the first episode of 'High School Musical: The Musical: The Series' and didn’t dislike it"	POS
United States	Margaret Lyons The New York Times	"[1st Season Review]: The result is surprisingly refreshing, even with a title that suggests a sense of redundancy (...) The series is not a reinvention of its genre, but it shines in its little specifics"	POS
United States	Robyn Bahr The Hollywood Reporter	"[1st Season Review]: It's bright enough... as long as you can stomach 'High School Musical' hagiography (...) I discovered there's a lot more telling than showing here, and a lot more joking than educating"	NEU
United States	Shannon Miller AV Club	"[1st Season Review]: A fresh take on an old favorite that genuinely wants to give its young audience the smart, fun content it deserves."	POS
United States	Kathryn VanArendonk Vulture	"[1st Season Review]: You see the jokes happening right there in front of your face, but you can’t feel them, so you’re left wondering if they actually were jokes (...) All the pieces are in place for a perfectly nice show"	NEU
United States	Kelly Lawler USA Today	"[1st Season Review]: A remarkably unabashed and delightful love letter to high school theater in a way the original film wasn't (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Jean Bentley IGN	"[1st Season Review]: It’s impossible to ignore the charm of 'HSM: TM: TS'. It’s a breezy watch — the half hour will fly by — that’s perfect for fans of theater, of Disney, of Zac Efron, of satire, of meta commentary..."	POS
