The original series was Israeli, and Greenhouse Academy is still filmed in Israel, with lots of Israeli actors, and characters with Israeli names. But it's set in the United States. Cop-out!
I read that Alex (Finn Roberts, left) is the son of Carter and Ryan. Cool, two dads! But it turns out that Ryan is a woman. Cop out #2!
No out gay characters in either of the two series. Cop out #3!
Well, at least there's beefcake.
Other than The Secret, the drama is based on competition between the Eagles and the Ravens, rival sports teams/dorm groups (basically Slytherin and Griffindor).
Eagle/Slytherin boys:
1. -2. Alfie Reshef (Yadin Goldman), central character, who joins the Eagles to embrace the Dark Side, while his sister joins the Ravens. In Academy, he becomes Alex (Finn Roberts, top photo)
3. -4.Daniel Goren (Daniel Litman, left), head Eagle, dating the principal's daughter. Sort of evil. In Academy, he becomes Daniel Hayward (Chris O'Neill). Fans were shipping him and Parker, but a ship is not good enough in 2019; where are the actual gay students?
5-6. Ron Ashkenazi (Tamir Ginzberg), Daniel's bff. Mean, aggressive, rude. In Academy, he becomes Parker Grant (B. J. Mitchell, left).
Raven/Gryffindor boys:
7-8. Iftach Har Lev (Lee B.), head Raven, "it's just a game" nice guy. In Academy, he becomes soft, sensitive aspiring musician Leo Cruz (Dallas Hart, left), who is dating someone with the unlikely name of Aspen.
9-10. Mati Spivak (Lior Shabtay), computer nerd and mama's boy (see how the Ravens are open to all...um...types?). In Academy, he becomes Max Miller (Benjamin Papac).
Others:
11-12. Louis Klein (Raffi Tavor), head of the Greenhouse Academy, becomes Louis Osmond (Parker Stevenson). In case you need reminding, the former Hardy Boy is famous for his super-sized penis, which he always carefully hid from view, lest he frighten the horses.
13-14. Robbie Klein (Asaf Kleinberger), his grown-up son, becomes Jason Osmond (Yiftach Mizrahi)
15-16. Guri (Daniel Reshef), the siblings' father, becomes Carter Woods (Ishai Golan).
So much beefcake in the two shows -- which will you stream?
