I Have Nothing

Carolyn makes you relate to her in such a cute and crazy way of the best of the best figure skaters from the 88 Olympics moving in to current times.

I forgot how much I really enjoyed watching the skaters shine and bring emotion and skill to the world of ice dance.

Brilliant and well directed and editited by some pretty amazing people. Loved her crew and all the talented skaters from around the world! ENjoy I have nother as its a song that is stuck in my head now!

Didn't realize how hard it was to get the rights to a song...especailly Whitney Houstons composed by David Foster and Linda Thompson Thanks Carolyn!

As an ex-competitive figure skater from 4-18 (and now about to turn 23) and also being a wanna be documentarian, I absolutely LOVED everything about this mini series!! I learned about a variety of different documentary styles in my last class of college and I think the blending of verite, mis-en-scene, participatory, archival works, and traditional interviewing is well done and really takes us as the viewers part of the journey of Carolyn but also Sandra, Katia, and David. Highlighting other immensely impactful skaters and practices/traditions in the skating world was also so exciting and I love the passion that's exuded in every episode and scene.

We get to see the excitement of skating in the eyes of the average person to make something amazing. Highly recommend skaters and non skaters alike to watch this doc - not only can you learn about skating through this, but also how to make a helluva documentary!

I didn't know what I was anticipating but it was not this. This show was unexpectedly perfect.

I put this on as a background show while I searched for something to actually watch, and I got sucked in in the first 30 seconds. Binged the whole thing straight through. Now I'm sitting on my couch in stunned silence, wondering if I can find another show that can ever match what this show just gave me (I'm not even being hyperbolic).

It was heartwarming and hilarious and perfectly nostalgic. I laughed out loud, I cried happy tears. I am completely delighted. What a treat this show is. I feel like I just spent a few hours with friends and I miss them already.

My girlfriend and I were looking for something to watch and randomly chose this. It was great! It was surprisingly funny and kind of touching in a weird way. I didn't know anything about it or any of the performers before but we watched the whole thing in under a week.

The story is very simple although a little goofy - a woman who likes watching figure skating tries to organize a whole routine. She has to design the costumes and choreograph the routine and try to get the legal rights to a famous song. Like I said the story is simple it's just funny seeing her get in way over her head. Liked it all the way through.

Nice to roll the dice on something and it end finding a gem.

Created by and starring Carolyn Taylor, we follow her goal of professionally choreographing an Olympic-level figure skating routine to Whitney Houston's classic I Have Nothing. A somewhat simple premise with astronomically complex actualities, what started as a bit during a stand-up routine slowly becomes reality as Carolyn discovers the world of figure skating first hand, and learns the staggering amount of effort and coordination that goes into what is ultimately a 4 minute performance. A fan of Carolyn from her work on Baroness Von Sketch, I honestly wasn't immediately sold by the first episode, as her nonchalantness about the whole thing, and surprising unpreparedness, had me considerably more stressed out than it was enjoyable, as she attempted to employ many top-tier professionals to achieve a seemingly impossible task. While I'm sure there was some fibbing for effect, and minor exaggeration, it was eventually so fun to watch so many around her (and herself at points) panic at the sheer amount that needed to be done for this to be pulled off, and in the end it was a joy to see what all of them built together. Definitely not a typical reality / comedy program by any sense, Carolyn's personality is the star of this show, even as she's surrounded by so many greats. Throughout, while again deeply frustrating at times in her almost indifferent preparation, she is kind, curious, and just generally seems a joy to be around. While not a laugh out loud sort of comedy, I was certainly smiling throughout, and seeing what it all lead to was a treat, even for someone like myself who was never previously into figure skating in really any capacity. Short at only 6 episodes, I was a big fan of this series and if you're into skating or it seems your type of thing I would highly recommend.
