Competitive rowing is a sport in which individuals or teams race narrow boats using oars. A single sculls competitor rows alone, while a coxswain sits in a larger crew boat to steer, give instructions and help set the pace.
The series focuses on a pupil moving to a new school after problems affecting her family disrupt her sporting career. At her new school, she has to find a place in an established boys’ crew while dealing with the pressures of school life and relationships.
Young-adult dramas are programmes aimed mainly at teenage and young adult viewers, often combining school, family and friendship stories. Netflix is releasing the eight-episode first season internationally on its streaming service.
