Ovation

This "TZ" episode called "Ovation" is one that's strange and a fantasy like tale that twist as after success at the end things turn out to be a big cost. It involves Jasmine("Birds of Prey's" Jurnee Smollett) a young and sexy struggling want to be music singer who all of a sudden one day has her whole life changed after seeing a tragic accident of a famous singer. It's upon this happening and obtaining a coin that talent and success and being loved by others has all came to Jasmine. It's like she just can't get enough fame! Only things twist and turn for the downside in this tale as one can take as a cautionary tale of morals and reality. Plus an odd and painful twist involves Jasmine's sister Zara(Tawny Newsome). Overall pretty good well done episode.

While watching this episode, I realized that the writers of season 1 must have had some flash of realization regarding any positive reviews of season 1 episodes.

So they took that moment of clarity and wrote this episode, exploring that notion of unearned applause and appreciation. Well, good on them.

Season 2 is faring much better than season 1, and maybe part of that was an acknowledgment that merely reciting wokey tropes wasn't actually "storytelling", so they went another direction. Like, "hey, how about if we wrote some good episodes for a change?"

Whatever it was, I'd say "keep it up" but then they decided against doing season 3. Oh well. Can't say they'll be missed.

I'm a huge fan of the Original Series and I don't understand the people who just refuse to give this show any credit. Stop being so narrow minded and blinded by nostalgia.

The message of this episode is not about the two sisters or fame it's about society and people's obsessions with celebrities and how ridiculous it's become.

Rating things low because you don't grasp them is insane.

A great concept but where did it go? Nowhere! No suspense, no thriller, no nothing! Wow!

Not great, not bad, it lies between the pit of the show's worst episodes and the summit of its greatest ones.
