Netflix viewers rave over ‘top-notch’ comedy with near perfect Rotten Tomatoes score that has fans demanding a second season

Netflix subscribers cannot get enough of a 'top-notch' comedy that dropped on the popular streaming platform in 2020 with a near perfect Rotten Tomatoes score.

Not like you could ever forget, but 2020 was a time when we we're all stuck indoors and watched an awful lot of content on Netflix and other streaming platforms.

And many viewers had time to tune into stuff they typically wouldn't give a chance, with this particular music-comedy falling into that category.

Julie and the Phantoms released on Netflix five years ago, and it remains in high regards amongst fans to this very day.

The series tells the story of Julie, a teenage girl who rediscovers her love for music after the tragic passing of her mother.

She ultimately forms a band with three ghostly musicians, who died before achieving their dreams as the 1990s band Sunset Curve.

The group deal with a ton of challenges in what is an extremely compelling story being told.

Julie and the Phantoms stars the likes of Charlie Gillespie, Madison Reyes, Owen Joyner and Jeremy Shada, while Kenny Ortega directed the series.

The series has become the hot topic of conversation on the Netflix Reddit forum in a thread discussing hidden gems.

"Looking for recommendations of what you believe to be the most underrated shows that you have watched on Netflix/Prime apps," one Reddit user asked.

Julie and the Phantoms was immediately listed in the thread, and one series of the show was seemingly not enough for one fan as they penned: "I was so annoyed this didn’t get a 2nd season."

While a second added: "Me too. It is such a fun show with great music."

Julie and the Phantoms sits at a hugely impressive 93 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes, with Decider's review dubbing it 'top-notch'.

Liz Kocan wrote: "In addition to the fun, well-written storytelling, the performers are top-notch."

Ellen E Jones, from the Guardian, penned in her review: "Julie and the Phantoms harks back to a happier, simpler time but, hopefully, not in a way that today's young people find obnoxiously oblivious to their current crises."

And PrimeTimer's review of Julie and the Phantoms states: "Though it is, superficially, a show about a girl and the ghosts who are suddenly complicating her life, Julie and the Phantoms is also careful to show viewers that Julie is safe and surrounded by love."

Julie and the Phantoms is available to stream on Netflix now.
