Netflix’s cheerleading documentary series Cheer is really taking over the internet right now. As people start finishing their binge-watching, they’re also taking to social media to tell everyone that if Jerry doesn’t make mat, we riot.

Naturally, most reactions are “I knew nothing about cheerleading and now here I am at 3am praying that Morgan nails that tumble”, but there’s plenty of opinions on major characters, as well as what everyone’s going to do next (and what we will all do now the series is done).
We’ve rounded up the best for you.

6. Point Your TOES, Morgan!!
We were ALL stressed as fuck about Daytona, obviously.
I want to binge the rest of #CheerNetflix but i know Monica would want me to go to bed at a reasonable hour and we’re not letting her down in this house.
— joy (@oharasemmys) January 9, 2020
Me, at noon: Hmm, maybe I’ll check out this “Cheer” documentary; seems sorta interesting.
Me, four hours later: Jesus christ if Morgan does not point her toes during this full out, then we have no chance of winning at Daytona. #cheer #CheerNetflix
— SpookyLou (@louneetoon) January 12, 2020
Me 5 hours ago: what’s a Navarro
Me currently: oh my god it’s one week to Daytona and we can’t hit the pyramid, get it together Aly ugh go dogs #CheerNetflix— Jen Jones (@jennidawn10) January 9, 2020
