On this weeks Solo Movie Date we are diving into Finding Her Edge (eps 5-8), the Netflix figure skating drama that is basically Persuasion but with more triple axels and way more family trauma. We’re yapping all about the messy transition from the first four episodes to the finale, including why the Russo family might be the most dysfunctional dynasty on ice.

Finding Her Edge

After a career-ending injury sidelines her older sister, former ice dancer Adriana Russo is thrust back into the competitive spotlight to save her family’s struggling skating rink. To secure the sponsorships needed to prevent financial ruin, she enters a high-stakes partnership with the "bad boy" of the skating world, Brayden Elliot, and agrees to a fake romance for the cameras. However, the ruse becomes nearly impossible to maintain as she navigates lingering feelings for her first love and former partner, Freddie O'Connell, amidst the crushing expectations of her demanding father.

Director: Shamim Sarif and Jacqueline Pepall Starring: Madelyn Keys, Cale Ambrozic, Olly Atkins, Alexandra Beaton, and Harmon Walsh
