Westside

You won't find another reality show like this. There absolutely is no script. Every cast member is playing themselves, and you get insight into all of them. Their struggles and the drama they produce is all real and in your face. It is AWESOME!!! Just watch the first 2 or 3 episodes. If you are not completely hooked. Move on. But this show is definitely worth trying out for yourself.

To be honest, my mind was full when I decided to watch the show and I was looking for some cheap thrills with zero thinking with some glamour and pointless fun... Westside turned my expectations upside down. And as I was trying to get away from my problems, unexpectadly found a space where I can question my life as an artist and my problems.

The structure of the story telling was amazing to me. I don't really find reality shows necessary but this can't be fully labeled as reality, so... It actually is a combination of different genres. Episodes' structures were like collages, made with different sequences of visuals. And consistency of the whole is nicely done.

I really liked exploring depths of the chracters via music and performance arts. Art is about trying to know ourselves as individuals; asking questions and exploring a reasons and results related universe. I think the show searches these areas nicely.

As an artist, myself, I think the show lifts psychological weights a bit off and gives me space to think about myself, my vision, my existence and our collective reality. How it is wonderful and how it is full of hell... I guess, with the good and the bad, still it is good to focus on what is beautiful and exploring it through arts and experiencing a life with diversity, colours and possibilities...

We are all struggling in a world that consumes the weak. This group of people came together to overcome that fear and created a bond using their talents. I felt this bond extend to viewers. I hope this reality TV format continues.

I was enjoying it until the music video's started and then more music videos continued to interrupt the show. And the songs are terrible!

A fascinating glimpse into the music business and what it takes to make it in today's digital world.The musicians are all very different, very real, and their stories are compelling. This isn't a show about singers. It's a portrait of 9 artists, their struggles, their dreams and their talent shared with us in an intimate way, taking us through the song writing process, rehearsals, & auditions. I loved it and want more
