Netflix’s newest YA show, “Finding Her Edge,” is about a young figure skater who is torn between her rude new partner and her ex-turned-rival. Critics say it has trouble getting emotional depth. The show, which came out today, January 22, 2026, is based on a story about romance and athletic ambition in the high-stakes world of ice dancing.
The series follows the middle daughter of an athletic dynasty as she deals with love triangles and competitive rivalries on the ice. It mixes teen romance with sports drama to show how talent, passion, and family expectations can cause problems. The premise promises exciting skating scenes, but critics say the story needs more drive to keep viewers interested.
It a drama that “could use more passion and drive,” which means that the production is good but the emotional arcs aren’t fully developed. ScreenRant agrees, saying that it’s a young adult sports romance that “almost sticks the landing” but doesn’t fully commit to its love triangle potential. Early buzz makes it seem like a fun watch for people who like figure skating.
This show is great for people who like romance stories like Bridgerton mixed with sports. It also taps into the ongoing interest in skating stories like those in recent webcomics and streaming hits. You can stream it now to see if it succeeds or fails.
