"Pair the thrill of an endlessly debatable YA love triangle with the frenzy for ice-rink romances fueled by Heated Rivalry, and you'll understand the buzz surrounding Netflix's Finding Her Edge. The new series, based on the book by Jennifer Iacopelli, follows an Olympics-bound figure skater as she navigates a love triangle between her former flame and current ice-dance partner, whom she's pretending to date for sponsorship opportunities."
"In the days following Finding Her Edge's Jan. 22 release, several fans took to TikTok to point out production errors that made it to the final cut, including a boom mic that appears above Adriana's head about 25 minutes into the first episode. As of writing, the errant mic shot seems to have been removed, but in the comments section, viewers convened to point out other oopsies."
""THE SKATING DOUBLESSSS WERE SO OBVIOUS IT MADE ME CRY," one user wrote, referring to the skating sequences where trained ice-dancers stood in for the cast. A fan on Reddit noticed the same, writing, "I thought the transition between the actual skaters and the actors [they're] doubling for was particularly rough on this show - the camera angles don't hide their faces well and the shots often go in too close so that you can very obviously tell it's a double.""
Finding Her Edge centers on Adriana, an Olympics-bound figure skater caught in a love triangle between her former flame and her current ice-dance partner, whom she pretends to date for sponsorship reasons. The series' release prompted viewers to spot production errors that remained in the final cut, including a boom mic visible above Adriana's head and conspicuous skating doubles during performance sequences. Fans on TikTok and Reddit called out rough transitions between actors and doubles and criticized camera angles that failed to conceal stand-ins. A professional critic noted that obvious body doubles contribute to a feeling of distracted, half-watched viewing.
