Does 'Dare Me' hate teenagers? AmyTVGal investigates USA's dour new cheerleading drama:
. Anything but this current drivel which treats adolescents as if they are harbingers of doom who do nothing but say “fuck,” plot each other’s demise and get high. Are you having fun yet?
But I digress, let’s start with what this show is about. Based on the novel of the same name by Megan Abbott , new coach and former high school cheerleader Colette French arrives to turn the Sutton Grove High School cheerleading team into national champions. She’s not what you might call an encouraging, supportive coach. “Fix this. We don’t do this,” she says to one girl referring to her less than flat stomach.
Meanwhile, two best friends/frenemies—Addy and Beth —are at odds with each other. Addy, who serves as narrator for the series, has dreams beyond her town and being top of the pyramid. For Beth, cheerleading is all she has. She was cheer captain and queen bee before Colette arrived. Beth is threatened by Colette while Addy is enthralled with a coach who is encouraging of Addy’s dreams. Both Guardiola and Kelly are far better than the material they are given.
Beth and her strung out mom live across the street from her dad Bert , his new wife and her half-sister Tacy . Beth delights in torturing and hazing Tacy while the freshman dreams of cheerleading glory. Bert is way too invested in the success of his daughters’ squad.
