    Who paid the judges off?!?!

    Love the idea of this show, but the judges definitely fell short and almost made us completely stop watching. There were characters we would have loved to see more of, but instead the judges kept around a couple of one-trick ponies, and even an injured contestant who dropped out the next episode. Seemed like a couple of cheap shots for drama that really weren't needed. Also, please stop cutting to the judges' faces/predictable responses when all we want to see is the contestants dancing during their routines! Would love to see another season and enjoy the diffrent dancers and their unique styles, but swap out the judges or we aren't watching...

    Feel bad for the dancers - terrible judges

    Almost stopped watching several times because the judges so clearly have favorites and made bizarre decisions. I give full credit to the dancers for accepting some truly questionable decisions with class and grace. Given the 250k on the line the judges should be making fair decisions.

    Not even bothering to watch the final. If there is another season I won't bother watching unless they get some fair judging. And no, I don't know any of the competitors.

    By the way- Who is this Lele? At least I have heard of the other judges. Fake window dressing! Really - cried? Bull. And she really is nothing special as a dancer from what I've seen.

    Not too bad

    It was a very entertaining show, and my 4 year old liked it a lot. My main issue, which has been stated in other reviews, was the judging. Even if you try to base the results on their commentary you will get it wrong. They were just seemingly putting through whoever they thought would attract views. They complain one person didn't do well compared to how they did previously but they kept them and voted off a great dancer anyway. Also, i kind of wish we could see what the audience is seeing. The cgi is clearly added for the show but it takes away from reality. Pretending like these high definition holograms exist ruins it for me.

    janky motion capture

    The motion capture is visibly janky at many points throughout. The monsters are often weird and not even all that cute? The judges say a lot of odd, cringey things. One time a judge said something that was not funny whatsoever, but the crowd laughed really hard which means they're cutting and moving the audio around deceptively. I'm sure reality/competition shows do this all the time, but they could at least be sneaky about it.

    Overall, the show has a nice/cute premise but the follow through is underwhelming. I hope a future iteration of the show, with more articulated facial muscles for the mocap, performs better.

    Production drags show down

    We enjoyed the dancing and the animated characters. But the constant cuts to the audience and judges detracts from the performances. And the judges comments were so vague as to be annoying.

    We were amazes by the tech I volved. The characters seemed to real. Other real life dancers would often be behind them and it was seemless. Some characters suffered from faces that weren't as expressive.

    It seemed cool that heavier dancers could compete on equal footing with dancers with a more traditional pyshique.

    The reveals were great. When you got to see the actual people it was really a surprise. Fun show.
