    Premise: Based on the 'Step Up' franchise, the series tells the story of the students and teachers at High Water Performing Arts School in Atlanta. Including characters Tal and Janelle Baker moving from Ohio to Atlanta, trying to make it as professional dancers.
    Certain episodes set in Ohio and Atlanta, Georgia

Why Step Up: High Water might be annoying:

    After the second season, it ended up getting cancelled on YouTube Premium.
    They replaced Naya Rivera's character with Christina Milian as the new Collette Jones in upcoming season 3, after Rivera's death in 2020.
    After YouTube canceled 'Step Up High Water'. Petrice Jones moved on to other projects. By that time STARZ picked up the show for Season 3, he wasn't available.
    The show only focuses on Kendra Oyesanya as Poppy Martinez and Jade Chynoweth as Odalie Allen as the 2 best dancers of the High Water school, when it was obvious that it was other great dancers at the school as well, not just Poppy and Odalie.
    Dancer Kendra Oyesanya born on September 28, 1987. Portrayed a High Water student with kids who were 16 and 19 years old, when it was obvious she was much older than those kids, trying to pass herself off as a younger student.
    Most of it's episodes are extremely depressing.

Why Step Up: High Water might not be annoying:

    The show featured some very famous guest stars, including Savion Glover, Jermaine Dupri and Rick Ross.
    The show has some very cool and very entertaining dance numbers, including ballet and also hip-hop choreography breakdowns in certain scenes.
    Although the show was cancelled on YouTube Premium after the second season, the first two seasons ended up moving over to Starz, with the network picking up a third season.
    The show has some very soulful music from Ne-Yo, which spawned a whole soundtrack.
    It has a blend of both gangster scenes and also gay and LGBT scenes, keeping the show interesting to watch.
    Actress Naya Rivera died on July 8, 2020 at the age of 33 years old in Lake Piru, California after an accidental drowning, which the show and it's producers had to find another actress to play her part. Which is why they had to continue on with her character and the storyline and ended up going with Christina Milian to portray Collette Jones in season 3 instead.
    It has Cobra Kai vibes to the show, being that both TV shows were once on YouTube Red.
    It has a lot of different variety of dance styles in it: Including ballet, hip-hop, twerking and krumping.
