Netflix’s “Finding Her Edge” Skates Between Drama and Distraction
Adriana Russo was once the shining star of her family’s figure skating dynasty, but after the death of her mother, she stepped away from the ice. Now, Netflix’s new YA drama, Finding Her Edge , brings her story back into focus, not for glory, but survival. The Russo family rink is teetering on the brink of closure and Adriana finds herself pulled back into the competitive world she left behind, this time not for herself, but to save her family legacy.
Her return isn’t simple. The series introduces Brayden Elliot, a talented but brash skater who becomes Adriana’s new partner. Their pairing is as much strategic as it is athletic. Together, they aim to generate sponsorships and media attention to rescue Russo Rink, all while navigating a tangled web of personal connections. Adding fuel to the fire, Adriana’s ex-partner and former love, Freddie, reappears with his new partner, Adriana’s childhood friend Riley, creating a rivalry that stretches both on and off the ice.

The ensemble cast delivers mixed results. Madelyn Keys as Adriana carries the story with quiet determination, while Cale Ambrozic as Brayden brings charm but occasionally falls short of the “bad boy” persona the script demands. Harmon Walsh’s portrayal of the father, Will Russo, emphasizes ambition over sensitivity, leaving Adriana to bear the weight of family expectations. Among the cast, Meredith Forlenza’s Camille stands out as a steady presence, offering warmth and guidance throughout the series.
Ultimately, Finding Her Edge isn’t a groundbreaking addition to Netflix’s catalog, nor is it a show that will leave you breathless with plot twists. Its strength lies in its accessibility. The series is easy to follow, visually engaging and provides enough sweetness, humor and sport-driven tension to keep viewers invested, even if only casually. For audiences looking for a light, visually pleasing drama centered on youth, ambition and the pressures of legacy, this series delivers an entertaining escape.
