Fictional Alan Menken Awards in play or not, the best television out there is only competing against itself, and HSMTMTS has not only set its own bar high, but worked damn hard to hit it.
In addition to some of the stars of the original “High School Musical,” this year’s farewell brings back characters from three previous seasons. Much of the show’s fun is seeing how they work their way in.

It’s amazing how they trow it back with the coreographies and new versions of the songs and still had place for original content like new songs and stories. I loved it and want more episodes soon
Report
HSM: TM: TS’s capable young cast and quick wit remain the show’s greatest strengths. As long as this sharp series continues to establish an identity separate from its source material, it should remain top of its class for seasons to come.
For all the chaos of the dozens upon dozens of cast members we’re meant to keep up with, it’s enjoyable nonetheless. Of the main characters we were introduced to in Season 1, there isn’t a bad apple among them. The strength of the (platonic!) relationships that have soldiered on since day one is what keeps audiences coming back.
In the first six episodes screened for reviewers, there are only two songs that showcase what HSMTMTS does best: present original HSM numbers in a new context. So let’s hope we get a few more in the final two episodes, giving the emotional and spirited farewell these characters deserve.
This is a Disney show, so it can’t really go full bore into Ryan Murphy’s brand of strident political incorrectness. Instead it does a warmed-over version, providing a little bite here and there, but otherwise pitching the humor toward lukewarm screwball.
It’s about the staging of a version of “HSM” in a high school, but that’s just the backdrop for another mediocre love triangle story. The dialogue and characters here are so grating that it’s one minor rewrite away from a “Scary Movie”-style parody of “High School Musical” instead.
Season 1 kicked off with a great cast, story, and good ending. While season 2 did not finish well, it feels a little rushed to end all of the storylines. Meanwhile, these two episodes of season three have an interesting plot, with new addends. Let's see how it goes.

Camera work, although I acknowledge is ‘mockumentary’ stylized, is awful. The acting is pretty bad. The show feels like the lowest level of pandering to adolescent girls.
