Content overview: “Netflix’s ‘Hollywood Arts’ Review: ‘Victorious’ Spinoff Falls Flat as a Bland Echo of Past”. Thirteen years after Nickelodeon’s “Victorious” ended, Netflix revives the franchise with “Hollywood Arts,” a spinoff that centers on Trina Vega (Daniella Monet), the perpetually overlooked older sister of superstar Tori. Created by Jake Farrow and Samantha Martin, the series follows Trina as she returns to her alma mater, Hollywood Arts, this time as a struggling actress who takes a job at the school while chasing her own elusive big break. Monet brings her familiar comedic energy, but the show struggles to justify its existence beyond nostalgia.
The premise offers a fresh angle—following the “untalented” sibling—but the execution feels stuck in a past era of multi-camera sitcoms. The laugh track, broad physical comedy, and predictable plotlines echo shows from the late 2000s and early 2010s, lacking the self-aware wit or emotional depth that modern teen audiences expect.
