A fun weird interesting premise, just watched the premire episode, and I actually was entertained, not sure on how long it will keep continuing as a series. The musical numbers just kind of jump out at you, and when it comes you really love watching it. Jane Levy brings an enjoyable girlish charm to her role as Zoey, and the rest of the cast are also good.



Zoey(Jane Levy) has a M.R.I., and when a little accident come with it, And after Zoey discovers that she can hear what people are thinking through musical numbers. Zoey is creeped out and at the same time intrigued.

I knew this was going to be a big hit when Mrs. Shullivan stopped hitting her keyboard and started wiping her tear ducts. It takes about 20 minutes into this series pilot episode to understand where this comedy/drama /musical/dance series journey is taking us but what a pleasant ride we are taken on.

Kudos to the team of creative writers and to the choreographers who made me forget how great West Side Story was, and hey, who doesn't like a few Beatles song dropped into Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist?

Jane Levy was so good in her previous TV series, Suburgatory, and she is fantastic in this her new series. The supporting cast is top notch and I see a bright future for this TV series. Stay tuned for some more great musical and dance numbers with top notch story lines. We have a new hit on our hands!

I am in love with this show. The feelings are so real and I love that unlike Soundtrack this cast actually sings with their own vocals and doesn't lip sync. I'm really glad someone brought this to life.

Why not make the great series that deserve a place in the top 250 in imdb ? This show is called love, it has all kinds of feelings and energies, in the moment you find me crying and in the moment I laugh and in the moment I dance and sing this show What we need precisely this period This show is one of these very endreamed shows and it will remain endeared if he does not get the support he deserves A perfect show and Jane Levy and Skyler are the best. Rating: perfect

Laughed out loud 3 times in the first ten minutes. Then they tug heavily on your heart strings more than one in the next 50 minutes. Laughed several more times.

Good character development for a pilot episode. Looking forward to February 16 for the rest of the season.

Only a few minutes in but reminds me of Eli Stone which I loved. Even started out with a Wham tune so I'm guessing it's not a coincidence?

{Initial Impression} I think I'm really going to enjoy this series. It is one of the new mid-season replacements, with a quirky fantasy premise that musical theatre people are going to love. The cast is a great mix of established talent (Mary Steenburgen, Lauren Graham) and great young talent. Jane Levy shines and perfectly creates a fully articulate, emotionally full, Zoey. Although this is on the NBC lineup, it is filmed in Canada🇨🇦, therefore, is filled with Canadian support talent🇨🇦. The music is great, performances are great and the premise is fresh and hopeful. Based on the first episode, I rate this series, you guessed it, an 8, (great) out of 10. {Fantasy Drama}

I was on the fence about this series for the first half of the season. The lead is slightly annoying, the premise is often strained, and much of it is unpredictable. What kept me watching was the marvelous Alex Newell and some very solid musical numbers that featured some really good choreography.

My initial thought was it reminded me of those slick, utterly false shows like Ally McBeal and Picket Fences that only pretend to be quirky. And while I haven't necessarily changed my mind, there are times when the series transcends itself.

I got off the fence with episode 4, which focused on Alex's character and which, my girlfriend and I both immediately pegged as a step up. And the glitch episode was funny and had perhaps the best-filmed number of the series (matched in the final season by that whole single-take thing).

The cast is talented and doesn't seem to be auto-tuned, which gets extra points nowadays. The songs are often good, the choreography is generally excellent, and every once in a while the director does something really fancy.

The brittle lead is unfortunate but I'm getting used to her.

If you like musicals it's worth taking a look at.

Any show that can bring back the Partridge Family hit into its story line gets my vote to watch more!

Season 1 was really good but season 2 went downhill!

Season one was amazing - total 10. Imaginative , entertaining, good storylines. Made me smile. Made me cry. Made me laugh out loud sometimes.

Season two - a 3 rating. It SUCKS. None of the joy or heartfelt moments like the previous season. We don't watch for the preach. The show has been ruined by "woke" writers who feel the need to tell us how unfair or privileged certain people are. The grief Zoey is experiencing is being dealt with destructively - not constructively (different from her mother's handling - or her brother's). You know - even in grief there can be joy. The final straw is the drug episode. It tried to normalize drug use. Just NO.

I am sad - I loved this show last season. It was one of the highlights of my week. Uplifting. Fun. Sad. I am hating it this season. The music and dance numbers are still fun - but that's not going to carry the show. It's probably going to be cancelled - the writers shot themselves in the foot.

Love this show already. Fun, emotional, colorful and fresh. And yes, the first episode made me cry twice.

I just watched the premiere episode on demand and I loved it so much, I want more right away. It's fresh and funny, but has touching moments of sorrow and heartbreak to keep it grounded in reality. I love Skyler Astin from Pitch Perfect, which is why I was drawn to this series, and I also loved Glee, so was very excited. The show did not disappoint. Cannot wait until the next episode.

I watched the pilot episode last night and laughed quite a bit. The show is obviously going to be quirky, based on the premise. It will be a few more episodes before we'll see if the musical number concept will hold up, but so far it's working and fun.

The casting has a lot of familiar faces. In particular, I love seeing Mary Steenburgen as Zoey's mother (there is a moment when Zoey and her mom look at her father, and they really look like mother and daughter). Peter Gallagher does a great job as Zoey's locked-in father, especially making the transition from singing back to locked-in. Lauren Graham is also doing a fine job as Zoey's boss, even if the character is a bit too cliched.

Actually, the biggest deficit in the show, based on the pilot, is that many of the characters and situations are too cliched. From the big brassy black woman living next door who dispenses wisdom and insight, to the unrequited love angle, to the boss who sends emails while not really listening. Even the basic arc of Zoey's character is too easy, shy/socially clumsy girl has an unusual thing happen and is suddenly bursting with self-esteem.

I think this show has a lot of potential for fun. It'll be interesting to see how Zoey deals with her ability in the longer term (the pilot covers a week of time). If you like quirky comedies with a healthy does of drama, then this is likely the show for you.

As someone who is into musicals and musical shows and movies, I was very excited for the debut of Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist. And from watching the pilot, I think this show has very high potential. Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist takes your favorite songs such as "Help!" by The Beatles, "All By Myself" by Celine Dion and many more and it brings this show to new heights in a fun, musical adventure with a story that is heartwarming with the connection of family with the power of music. In all, Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist is a show that is fun, unique, heartwarming and will make you want to sing along with the cast when they sing the songs! I see high potential for this show and I can not wait to see what the future holds.

So much fun! Great story and love the music. Well written and well directed. Bravo!!

I read the premise and gave it a pass, but needing something lighter and cheerier I decided to dive in. Watched them all in two days. My reluctance was with the musical part but it turned out to be the best part. There are no barriers broken with the show, but I enjoyed a lot of the characters, laughed and cried, a lot. The musical numbers worked because they are good and also not good. Not everyone is a singer/dancer and I loved that. It keeps it raw and real. people singing to each other is so moving. Hoping for another season, but if not, it feels complete.

It's a fun, funny, nice and heartwarming show, just like Scrubs so many years ago. As someone who constantly listens to music, goes to sleep and wakes up with a song on his (my) head, I really find the concept interesting and not so farfetched!

Season One. Fun and edgy. Season Two. Right down the Hollywood playbook. If it was the same writers, maybe they will learn. I doubt it. TV shows that make it, entertain. When they get preachy, the audience finds a better use of their time.

I was one of the people praying and hoping they wouldn't cancel after season 1. Even if there were times I felt Hollywood was trying to push their "religion" down our throats. But season 1 was for the most part a solid 8, maybe 9. The amount of pandering in the following season is unreal. And honestly the story line just isn't really going anywhere anymore. They should've stopped at season 1. I'm over it this show.

OMG. Can I use that phrase at age 42? Look, I know nothing about anything but I'm one hundred percent sure this was a perfect pilot. Do those exist? I laughed, I cried, I sang, and I definitely would have danced if I hadn't jacked up my neck last week (like I said, 42). Jane Levy has great comedic timing and seems to be a great dramatic actress as well, and the rest of the cast - whose greatness I'll leave you to read up on in this app - is superb. I CANNOT wait for episode 2. BTW, the reason I only gave 9 stars is that this could always completely fall apart in the next episode...but I doubt it.
