Much like the Monkees before it, Jonas is a tongue-in-cheek comedy that saterizes the sound/stlye/look of the day, with a good dose of self-deprecation, and a surprisingly good sense of what it is and what it wants to be. To preface, I am 44 and obviously knew who the Jonas Brothers were, but honestly could kot have cared less about them, even though they are fellow Jerseyans. That said, thanks to some pandemic downtime and a hungover brain, I was surfing Disney Plus for something fun and easy to digest. Having plowed through the High School Musicals and the Descendants, I decided to give Camp Rock a try. The first one was, meh. The second one was WAY better. And since there was no trilogy, unlike the aforementioned movies, I decided t give Jonas a try. Very glad I did. I found myself genuinely laughing at some of the bits (like the angel wings...that was funny as hell). Im only a few episodes in and I find it throughly enjoyable. Now, If I were a 14 year by when this show was on, I would have hated, because i was a metal head and only loved metal and everything else was dumb, so I get why some would not like it, but I guess I am glad I found it at 44, when my musical tastes have grown to be vast and varied. But what really got me was the sense of humor. Kudos Jonas Brothers. You gained a new fan, even it is kind of creepy and sad, and 10 years after the fact.
score 10/10
