Tiny Pretty Things

It has a decent plot that is obfuscated by mediocre acting and the fact that the entire series is misplaced in terms of time period. The show should have in a college setting. A high school setting is a complete misfire for the plot. Add to that a terrible score, unnecessary settings that are designed to sexualize teenagers (eg, why so many scenes in a sauna!?), and you have a formula for a completely forgettable series. It's a pity really.

Not good but not too bad either. The actors aren't great but I'd imagine their pool of actors with these dancing capabilities was rather small to pull from. The storyline was interesting but had quite a few confusing turns that were unnecessary.

Whatever you hate about Netflix you will find it here:stupid cliffhangers, huge holes in the scenario, unbelievable situations that just look stupid, choices that Noone would ever make and personalities that don't make sense. It made me angry. The ending was beyond stupid. I put 5 stars only for the dance scenes.

The trailer looked great. I was very excited to watch a show like PLL. But that first episode... the writing is BAD. And them lines?! The timing is horrible. At one point they even talk over eachother. They sound like they're really trying to act, by overdoing things, to makeup for the fact that they can't act lol. Can't get through the first episode.

I know when this type of show is cast, they have to cast professional dancers and so not everyone is going to be a great actor. However I think the dancers did a good job in this show. The only person I wasn't overly keen on was the actress who played Nevaeh. She could have been cast better. Also Lauren Holly was the wrong choice for the character of Monique Du Bois. For me, she didn't have the acting chops to pull this character off. Someone like Viola Davis bringing Annalise Keating vibes would have been perfect in this role. Despite this I really liked the show. It's Riverdale and Pretty Little Liars meets Black Swan. It was a good storyline although it was very predictable. It wasn't difficult to guess who pushed Cassie and it was also easy to predict what happened right at the end as well.

One thing I didn't like at all were the odd dream sequences that many of the characters had. There were too many and I felt the cheapened the show a bit. They started to become very annoying.

All in all it's a good show with some solid performances and a very very good soundtrack. I'm looking forward to season 2.
