If you love Canadian teen melodrama...

...and you know I do, then you have got to watch Instant Star on The N. Leading up to the Season 3 premiere on Friday, February 16, the-n.com is adding a few earlier episodes each week to their online player The Click.

The show's genius premise is that Jude Harrison is the winner of an American Idol-style competition and is thrust into the spotlight at 15. She's got a jealous older sister, a best friend who wants to be her boyfriend and an ex-boyband member producer with whom she shares a forbidden attraction. Plus (as if you need one), each episode features a totally catchy song and at the end of the season, they release an album.

I didn't get into the show until the second season, so I'm getting to enjoy all the plots that launched the drama I've already seen. In the episode Won't Get Fooled Again, Jude sings a raw ballad about her heart being broken. The song’s not about the producer who spurned her after a hot kiss on her birthday or her cheating rapper ex-boyfriend. It's about the fresh discovery that her beloved dad's cheating on her mom. And suddenly the show's not just about fun songs and escapist fantasies, but a hurt little girl with a whole lotta angst.
