What to Know

Critics Consensus

Though at times more melodramatic than meaningful, Spinning Out's campy, guilty-pleasure exterior hides a surprisingly thoughtful exploration of living with a mental illness.

Perhaps the greatest fault of Spinning Out isn't the fact that it doesn't follow through with its most tantalizing story threads; it's that it doesn't take advantage of its featured sport. Go to Full Review Carla Meyer San Francisco Chronicle 01/13/2020
[Kaya Scodelario] is exceptionally sympathetic as a young woman who grew up poor in a rich ski town with a stage mom who is equal parts her biggest champion and the literal voice of doubt in her ear. Go to Full Review John Doyle Globe and Mail 01/07/2020
It's an adult drama delivered as teen soap opera. All that money, talent and effort amounts to a banal, saccharine exercise in fake gravitas. Go to Full Review Steven Allison The Playlist 06/08/2020

That said, the lack of tonal clarity and excessive sentimentality are achingly surplus to requirement, offering such little dramatic tension they ultimately force "Spinning Out" to...well, to spin out. Go to Full Review Kate Hudson Pajiba 01/13/2020
Spinning Out is a good enough option to put on if you don't know what else to watch and want to see what January Jones is up to lately. You probably won't regret it, but also, you probably won't remember much about this show. Go to Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media 01/10/2020

Laura C. Feb 7 Really enjoyed this portrayal of a not much publicized disorder (bipolar) See more Anne K @Annieanne Jan 31 Good enough, but more of a teen romance Who tho do the mums look older than the children?! Lol See more adelyn h Mar 25 I really wish there was another season. See more For G 01/08/2025 YOU should watch this. I DONT get why Netflix canceled season 2..... See more Carter F 09/26/2024 Just awful. An absurd unrealistic manufactured melodrama is created every episode . One minute characters love each other , the next they hate each other . Horrible writing . Every predictable cliche overused melodrama is thrown in. ( examples - the best friend that has hip injury but keeps skating , gee what could go wrong , you know where that is going , the bad boy skater the lead actress hates , * spoiler alert, but not really because so predictable *oh gee might she end up in love with him ? Peoples personalities change constantly . The lead changes mind every 10 minutes . I watched because I love ice skating , there is little of that . The tiny bit of skating is good . I also watched because I like January Jones and the actor who plays the coach a lot . They deserve to be in something so much better then this nonsense . See more Andrei D 08/27/2024 Needs to decide if its going for soap or for serious drama and then act accordingly See more Read all reviews
