![]() There is still the issue ofElena and her friends getting their periods, which is very important to the story and to girls everywhere, seeing it openly discussed is a good thing, though it might put off some potential viewers. Obviously, Elena is still the star of the show and this episode does show her developing her skills as a future president, how she picks an issue and goes in head first, learning from the mistakes made. Seeing the brother having to deal with being picked on because of the spelling of his name, how he goes from being proud and annoyed when people get it wrong, to feeling ashamed It’s still gets the situation set up and dealt with quickly, much like how the mother is having issues with her boss over her availability, but it’s nice to see a few more general family issues dealt with. ![]() Especially as the focus has shifted from Elena, to her whole family. One aspect that seems to have improved through the season, is they’ve toned down how they approach modern issues and feels a little more natural. So I fired up the second episode, then let Disney+ move onto the next episode, before long I had binged through 4 episodes! And I will now carry on with the rest of the season, because it’s turning out to be a solid show, it’s not amazing and not “must see” TV each Friday, but its peaked my interest to see where it’s going. Especially since the season is half way along. This past week, I decided, with a bit of spare time on my hands due to some bad weather, to jump back into the series and give it a second chance. I watched the first episode when it come onto Disney+ over a month ago and didn’t really enjoy it, I thought it felt a little to forced, trying to be modern and focus on issues of today, but fundamentally, it just seemed like a show that wasn’t aimed at me, it was fine, but wasn’t my cup of tea. It is told using the narration of 12-year-old Cuban American girl Elena’s diary, and we follow her journey through the ups and downs of middle school, which set her on the path to becoming the president of the United States. Diary of a Future President is a Disney+ Original series where we get to see the origin story of a future leader.
