Yes, stink badgers are a thing.

Impressions:

You have to admire what this show is doing. Or maybe not. Within seven minutes, it's taken a failed orchestra conductor, told him that he needs to create a boys choir, win regionals nationals, and now he's chasing a rabid badger around the city. It ass-sprays them, so they all get into the local bath together, where he accidentally sprays them while wrestling the badger, thus learning that they scream in harmony, finding the core of his choir. They drag the three kids to the roof and tell them they'll be performing in an hour, so get practicing… at which point these teachers wander off and we launch into a montage. Did I mention that the song they're performing is a rap? Yes. Apparently the winner of last year's boys choir nationals was… rapping.

Okay, maybe admire is not the correct word to use here. I was a little surprised for a bit since it seemed to be entirely about choir rather than the standard pop boys band stuff, then they said that the boys would be dancing and… yeah. The rapping. So definitely not about choir at all. Not even the Sister Act kind of hip choir that takes the classical and modernizes it to connect with the youth. It just… jumps right to the cliches and leaves all the hymnal stuff behind immediately. Also, there's a random animal mascot running around for no real reason, spraying ass-juice on everybody. Why they all even went along with being dragged onto the roof and then made to literally sing and dance in front of their peers is beyond me. But of course every boy in school is super down with dudes interrupting practice in the gym to loudly sing at them. Who isn't? What a completely ridiculous affair.
