Between the constant churn of new releases, Julie and the Phantoms in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Netflix is the comedy actually worth stopping for. A single, tightly-focused season means there is plenty to get through without ever feeling padded. With 625 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Madison Reyes is the obvious draw, but the whole ensemble earns its laughs. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Netflix.

There is a reason Julie and the Phantoms keeps coming up in conversation. Julie and the Phantoms gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. Teenage Julie finds her passion for music and life while helping the Phantoms -- a trio of ghostly guys -- become the band they were never able to be. Madison Reyes and Charlie Gillespie lead a cast with the timing to make it work. Julie and the Phantoms premiered in 2020. Julie and the Phantoms earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. The hit rate here is high enough that skipping ahead never feels like an option.

Julie and the Phantoms is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. Fans of Danny Phantom will recognise the sensibility here immediately. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single week. Madison Reyes is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.

Julie and the Phantoms was cancelled in 2020, created by Dan Cross and David Hoge — and 1 season is available to watch from start to finish.
