Finding Her Edge Netflix Review: The Swoony Ice-Skating Drama That BookTok Has Been Waiting For

Fake dating. Competitive skating. A love triangle so wild it’ll make your head spin. Finding Her Edge Netflix is the YA drama that arrived at exactly the right moment — and it’s far better than you might expect.

Finding Her Edge : Overview

What Is Finding Her Edge About?

Finding Her Edge follows Adriana Russo (Madelyn Keys), a former competitive skater from an esteemed ice-skating family. When her older sister Elise is injured in competition, Adriana returns to the ice — not for personal glory, but to win a sponsorship that could save her family’s rink.

With her former partner and love interest Freddie now paired with someone else, Adriana ends up pretending to be in love with her new on-ice partner Brayden (Cale Ambrozic) — an infuriatingly arrogant but undeniably talented dancer — purely to secure the sponsorship. When both realise that the fake relationship boosts their public ratings, the lines between performance and real feeling begin to blur dangerously.

It’s Persuasion on ice, essentially — and that’s a very good thing.

What Makes It Worth Watching?

The show is loosely inspired by Jane Austen’s Persuasion, exploring identity, earned confidence, and renewed love — while packing in nearly every beloved YA trope: fake dating, childhood friends, enemies-to-lovers, and one of the most entertaining love triangles on TV in years.

Madelyn Keys is the undisputed MVP — exploding onto screens with an electric performance that’s hard to believe comes from someone with very few credits to her name. She owns every scene, from intimate emotional moments to the spectacular on-ice sequences.

The supporting cast shines too. Alice Malakhov is a standout as youngest sister Maria, while Alexandra Beaton brings raw emotional complexity to the fiercely competitive older sister Elise. whats-on-netflix

Who Is It For?

Finding Her Edge Netflix will genuinely appeal to multiple audiences — fans of competitive figure skating, BookTok readers of Jennifer Iacopelli’s novel, and anyone who loved Heartstopper, Ginny & Georgia, or the cancelled Netflix skater drama Spinning Out. Its release timed perfectly with the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, adding an extra layer of real-world resonance. whats-on-netflix

Yes, the plot is predictable and cliché-heavy — but for a show like this, it’s the journey that matters. The family drama, fragile romances, and spectacular skating performances offer more than enough to keep you completely hooked until the final credits roll. And the ending leaves the door wide open for a Season 2. whats-on-netflix
