You know you could watch it for free in Netflix and you don't have to pay Google play any money but unless u don't have an account in Netflix. One question after the 30 episodes are there more episode coming up?

This is my favorite show of all time and I can't believe Disney doesn't air it on their channel at all. The drama is relatable (mostly; not all of us can relate to being at a prestigious art school), the writing is superb, the actors and actresses are amazingly talented, and it has made me cry on more than one occasion (that's a good thing!). I've watched each season multiple times and suggest it to my friends that want something new to watch. Can't wait for season three!

My name is Nasir Joseph Rivera. I am 12 years old. I loved the show and everyone who played in it. Can't wait until the new epidode's come out. Also, don't listen to that guy that said the show is stupid. He's just a hater.
