Mirfandas marked their calendars for the day their star, Miranda Sings, was going to be starring in her very own Netflix show, Haters Back Off. Finally, on Friday it aired and Mirfandas headed to Netflix to binge watch their favorite actor, singer, model, magician. The show written by Colleen and Chris Ballinger captures the journey of the strange internet sensation, Miranda, and her rise to internet stardom, while also looking in at the aspects you don’t see in Miranda’s internet videos like her family and her friend/ love interest Patrick. As a whole, the show provided many interesting and entertaining aspects for Mirfandas and not alike.
For the shows not original Miranda fans the show offers the story of a home-schooled girl that is different and her determination for fame. Though the show does provide more than just for the average Miranda fan, the show is definitely not for everyone. Miranda and her humor can sometimes be better suited for those who know her on YouTube but the show’s heart and message definitely delivers something that everyone could enjoy.
For Miranda fans this was a chance to finally meet Miranda’s mom, uncle, sister and her friend Patrick. This show was a total dream come true for the Miranda fan’s curious about Miranda’s world. This show also offered great character development, it allowed for all the characters to struggle and have issues they were dealing with instead of them just being part of a show about Miranda. This also allowed for some amazing love triangle struggles and interesting relationships. This show surprising not only was successful in its funny moments but also their serious ones. Though Miranda is supposed to be comedy the story told was a serious one and all the characters were fully invested in their needs for love, acceptance, fame until the end.
In my opinion, Miranda fan or not it is worth it to give the show a shot. It definitely has its moments directed towards Miranda fans but the humor and characters are all funny and interesting as well with a pretty dramatic plot that thickens a lot in the end. Miranda fan or not this series tells the story of a girl who is different and her determination to reach the top that makes her realize what you can lose when you don’t appreciate the people around. Overall, I would say it is a must watch and one of my favorite recently added Netflix series
