Austin & Ally (2011–2016)
5/10
Pretty decent show, a bit... lacking.

Warning: Spoilers
Many of my friends quite enjoy this show, and they wanted me to write a review on it. However, I could not simply write a good 10/10, since I think there are some severely lacking things in it.

First of all, there a number of wonderful things about it. Pros:

• Carrie and Dez. They are the only good characters in the show. They have heart, comedy, and brains...wait no. But that's okay, because they're sweet and really benefit the show.

• the new premise in season 4. It's very interesting and tough to consider, since Austin isn't allowed to perform. It's finally where we can see what ally can honestly do.

Cons, because that's why I'm here:

• Austin and ally's new relationship. At least, not their amount of gushiness. Every once in a while, sure. But every five seconds, no I don't think so. It's quite annoying and disgusting.

• Austin's treatment of Ally, at least in former episodes, was atrocious. She had to put her dreams on the sidelines so that Austin the pretty boy could pursue his, a selfish predicament. However, now he's given up his career do her, so this could be a pro.

• Characters: as in Austin, Ally, and Trish. Austin is not talented at dancing or singing, really, and is weak, since everyone else does everything for him. Ally used to be adorable and quirky, what with her stage fright, bad dancing, and love of studying. But now, apparently, she's lost all of that and become just another pop singer:(. Oh and Trish, always getting another job every five seconds is gone. She just chats with her boyfriend, is rude, but yet still gets to stick around because...I don't even know.

• plot holes: if Austin is so famous, shouldn't he have a lot of money, instead of complaining about being broke? Trish, too, as she's his manager?! Also, the only people who interview him are 10 year olds who shouldn't and realistically wouldn't be in show business anyway. How could these be angry about Austin lip synching if he does it all the time? (Oh come on it's obvious!)

All in all, pretty much decent if you don't mind nonexistent confusing plots and intolerable character development.
