The series as a whole is on an - admittedly slow - upward trajectory

An improvement on the original, which is unexpected.

I noted in my review of 2019's 'Malibu Rescue' that I probably wouldn't bother watching the television series in between - I actually did. It's still not good, but that too bettered the first film. I'd say 'Malibu Rescue: The Next Wave' is superior to both, so the series as a whole is on an - admittedly slow - upward trajectory.

Listen, it still isn't something I enjoyed. It has undeniable issues, but I honestly don't dislike it either. The cast are pleasant, if not necessarily good. They work well together. Alkoya Brunson is the standout, but they all bounce off each other in truth. I approve of them bringing that Jeffy (Michael Mourra) kid back, they create fairly funny gags with him in the films - could possibly do with him in the show?

It's made for a specific demographic and, I guess, works in that respect. They could definitely do better though, to make it a fun film to watch for more viewers. Intrigued to see if this gets renewed further, I assume it will.
