Great chemistry between the main characters. The "voices" are my favorite supporting characters. All of them are fantastic. The music fits the time period and the costumes as well. The set changes during the songs are very well orchestrated. The singing is really good, however I do feel as though sometimes the music is so loud it drowns out the voices. With the world so heavy, I enjoy how light and comical this show is. Don't get be mistaken it does have some drama but it's not so heavy it takes a week to recover. If you are a theatre lover with a sense of humor, I think you'll really enjoy this show.

I really enjoy it! Is it a little corny? Sure. But the music is good and both leads' voices are great! I think it's fun and entertaining TV. There is a good connection between the two leads, and the first two episodes really are emotional. Whitman especially shines in the role, with comedic and dramatic range! People should watch this show even if they might not be excited about the music. There isn't all that much per episode and the songs are catchy and fun! Any fan of Parenthood or Good Girls Will like her acting here, same combination of seriousness and comedy. The banking buddies are also hilarious and stupid, the show also has some funny 90s references that you won't want to miss.

Cards on the table. I would happily watch Mae Whitman reading tax returns so I may be a little biased in welcoming this addition to the schedule. Musical rom-coms are, of course, the Marmite of showbiz and this is obviously reflected in the reviews to date. But if you're a fan, you certainly won't be disappointed by the glorious mix of sense and sensibility. There are certainly plenty of points of recognition with the array of competing inner voices that surround those first glimmers of love. As with many musical numbers the words are rather more important than the tunes but, to my mind, that increases the value, especially when performed with such clarity by Whitman and Valdes.

This show has its flaws, but it really has some catchy songs, overall good choreo, and a compelling and emotional exploration of what it means to trust someone and how our past outlines how we interact with the world, and our past relationships can affect how we behave in new ones. And the character Miguel!! It's so rare to see a man's trauma explored and softness in personality celebrated, without it being played for laughs or only created so a woman can find him attractive. So it's a refreshing addition to television as far as I'm concerned with his character :) and he's so well acted too! There are some weak lyrics (but also some great ones), the lead woman feels written a bit weaker than her counterpart (the aforementioned Miguel), and some of the choreo feels like it wasn't altered for television and would play better on a stage; but it's still solid performances all around. If you like musicals, I think you'll like this. Watch it just for Miguel, I swear!!

It's one of those series that while I am watching, I get up, make myself something to eat, do the dishes,, while I am listening to what is going on, and I know I am not missing something important.

The story is sweet, the acting is good, there are certainly some very funny scenes, but the feeling is wrong. I guess that the songs are kind of mediocre, and the voices in their heads don't add much to the plot

Where is New York? The outdoor scenes are so few and it could be anywhere in the world. It is 1999 but it feels like its 1995. Where are the mobile phones? Where is the frenzy of entering a new millennium? The worry that it could be the end of the world? That the computers could crash?

Also I have some doubt about the clothing choices.

I noticed that the rating is higher amongst US users, than the rest of us.
