Senior High; An Ensemble of Superb Acting

After the phenomenal success of Dirty Linen in almost all departments- acting, direction, cinematography, musical score, editing, script etc. ... naturally the teleserye that takes over the timeslot is in a precarious situation ... (if its footing or hold is not stable or not firmly placed) ... chances are you are likely to slip or lose grip especially when compared to the honor and recognition Dirty Linen has set. 

The bar was set at an all-time high, and it is to the credit of Senior High cast and directors to come up with a whodunit formula that makes you glued to your seat wanting for more.

The pilot week was the most crucial and based on the superb acting the cast had shown, and knowing that the same tandem of directors that made Dirty Linen is at the helm, netizens got hooked ... it was like a case of love at first sight.  Interesting storytelling and fast-paced editing also contributed a lot to setting the mood.

Going now on its 4th week ... Senior High manages to entice viewers to make it their late-night habit. The series touches on taboo topics like teen suicide, bullying, and drug addiction. This week we had a glimpse of what happened after the investigation and Sky (Andrea Brillantes) moving heaven and earth to shed light on her sister's alleged suicide ... or was there foul play?

Two BL actors Elijah Canlas (Archie) and Miggy Jimenez (Poch) had their penultimate moments this week as their characters were pushed to the limits to show a myriad of emotions ... and the conflict given in their situationa squeezed the very acting juices in them ... to give way to a performance worthy of a FAMAS or a URIAN.

Listen to the netizens frothing in their mouths to say the superlatives:

@yernoonnie

Kahapon lang, ang galing nung pagcreate ng tension between Poch and Tim.

Pati yung pag-iyak ni Poch while watching the video. Tapos ngayon ang galing

nya sa pagmamakaawa sa mama nya. Pati yung pag-open ng door ni JK sa

mama nya, ang natural lang, parang family talaga sila

@charleneescabarte4701

Talagang hindi pilit iyak ni Poch.Madadala ka talaga sa emosyon.Super galing!

kuddos sa lahat ng bumubuo ng senior high. Ito yung pelikulang inaabangan ko

araw araw dito sa Europe

I thought Miggy Jimenez was the weakest link in the cast. But in yesterday

and today's episodes, he showed his range and proved he could match the

acting skills of the other young stars in the cast. Good work!!! And we'll be

keeping an eye on this newcomer.

Hindi talaga nawawala every episode 'yong pag-praise sa acting ng mga

actors and they really deserve it. Grabe mga bagets, kayang-kaya makipag

sabayan sa veterans! Sobrang galing, walang tapon!

@angelorey7885

Miggy really shine in this episode. Grabe ung pagswitch nya ng emotion

from being arogant to nakakaawa. Naaasar ako sa kanya kung nakaraan pero

ngayon biglang naawa ako sa kanya. Mahusay na artista.

@jamjam7881

Ganda talaga ng kuwento... I did remember sinabi nila sa interview na hindi

lang iikot sa main character ang kuwento at bawat character mabibigyang

back story at spotlight... grabeng galing ni Miggy! And ang galing nung pagka

-execute ng kuwento, one moment inis na inis ka sa character and then the

next naaawa at nakikisimpatiya ka na sa kanila... Kudos sa buong team! I do

hope by the end of this series maging magkakaibigan lahat ng bagets... and

sana mas lalo pang ma-highlight yung mga pinagdadaanan at nararamdaman

ng mga kabataan ngayon para naman mas maintindihan sila ng mga older

generations... na hindi lang sila basta puro go lucky at walang iniintindi o

makasarili... I know iba iba ang experiences and circumstances ng mga tao

but still... I do hope this can give an insight para mas lalo pa nating maintidi

han ang mga kabataan ngayon.
