Hello Movie and Series Lovers!!
I have been a big fan of musicals since I was young, and I'm still a fan now, when I'm nearly a senior.
Watching musical movies and series can always give me joy and enthusiasm.
That's why when I came across this series "Julie and the Phantoms," I immediately played and watched it.

The series follows the story of Julie Molina (portrayed by Madison Reyes), a grieving high schooler who loses her love for music after her mother's death and is kicked out of performing arts high school.

She then accidentally summons or discovers the ghosts of the '90s band Sunset Curved, namely, Luke (Charlie Gilliespe ), Regie (Jeremy Shada), and Alex (Owen Joyner), who died from hotdog poisoning 25 years ago.
As they met with Julie and sang together, they became visible. And eventually, with the help of the three ghosts, Julie's interest and love for music came back to life as she found aspiration and healing through playing music with them and formed a band called Julie and the Phantoms.
The ghosts, on the other hand, hope to resolve their unfinished business/dreams and escape the powerful magician, Caleb, by performing songs with Julie.
Will they really be set free from the trap?
Well, it's for you to find out if you watch this show.
All I can say is... it's undoubtedly a beautiful and fantastic show. It's not only because it's filled with so much music, but also because it focuses on the love of family and the value of friendship.

I love how Julie and her family, especially her younger brother, portrayed their roles.
I also admired Julie and Flynn's kind of friendship here. Flynn is Julie's best friend, and she is the kind of friend everyone needs.
The three guys in the band (the ghosts) were so cute and talented.

I would also love to find out whether Willy and Alex's friendships develop into something. (I love them both being an LGBTQ..🥰)
The songs are great, and my favorite one is "Unsaid Emily," a song from Luke to his mom, which is really so touching. I also love the songs "Stand Tall", Edge of Great", and "Perfect Harmony", and the rest of the songs they played here.
The entire cast did an amazing performance throughout the show.

It is another excellent show from a very famous director, none other than "Kenny Ortega," who also directed "High School Musical" and many more.
Overall, it's a great show, and I'd love to recommend it to everyone... You won't regret it. Even though the ending is kind of a cliffhanger that leaves you with more questions, it needs a season 2.
Unfortunately, though, it's already been announced that Netflix cancelled the show. It's sad because it was such a fantastic show.
I'll end this post here, and I hope you'll give it a try.
Thank you so much for stopping by and for reading my post.
See you around and God bless...🙂🙏❤
