What this show offers instead are some wholesome and attainable role models. ... Your average too-cool-for-school 15-year-old will find plenty to sneer at, but challenge them to sit through Julie’s first solo musical number, a piano ballad at the end of the first episode, with dry eyes.

Julie is full of great performances, peppy pop songs, and a solid storyline we’re excited to dig into.

Essa série é maravilhosa assistam eu recomendo, a equipe e o elenco estão de parabéns

Freaking amazing series ! Songs are so Lively and outstanding and it’s so innocent like the good old days!!

With an infectious guitar-infused pop soundtrack and a goofy-cute trio of kindly Emo Ken spirits to drive the fun, nine-episode Julie and the Phantoms rises from kiddie shlock to buoyant family entertainment.

Superior to a Disney Channel, three-camera sitcom, each episode features a couple of original tunes that should get toes tapping.

No, none of this makes any sense even within the vague guidelines of mystical nonsense, and sure, their ghost adventures become very silly, very quickly. But who cares! “Julie and the Phantoms” is just fun and adorable enough for none of that to really matter.

The series recaptures the earnest, music-filled appeal of the High School Musical franchise far better than the sequel series Disney+ released last year. And what Julie And The Phantoms lacks in depth, it makes up for with an endearing cast and endlessly catchy pop tunes. Just be prepared to get a lot of new songs stuck in your head.

The result is an overly familiar series that might capture tweens with its pop-rock earworms and cute boys, but also suffers from underdeveloped characters and stalled narrative tension.

The music in this show is why I gave it a 10. The acting is a little weak in the beginning but it's quite obvious that Julie and her Phantoms are incredibly talented musically. All my fingers and toes are crossed for another season but for now I'll just keep listening to the soundtrack.

Love the show! Music is amazing. Brings me back to high school days. Madison Reyes as one of the lead roles is refreshing and exciting! The entire cast is amazing. Can’t wait to see more of her in the future.

an incredible series, catchy with catchy characters, great music and a graceful cast

A great series, starts and ends all ends. It is a derivative of a Brazilian series, this version of NETFLIX is well produced and has an excellent soundtrack.
