Seriously, why is MLP still getting roles in anything? Terrible actress. She is the same in everything she plays. No talent what so ever.

Otherwise, the show is ok. The rest of the cast seem fine. It is a bit slow moving, but has enough going on to keep me interested, and I have a short attention span.

You don't need elaborate sets and expensive CGI effects to make a good show. A good script with a good cast will do just fine. This is a minimalist show so far, and would be much much better without MLP. Who is great in these type of roles? Sigourney Weaver! She would of been much better.

Two episodes in and I will continue to watch...

At first I thought it was different. A bit drawn out, but still intriguing. The concept was interesting. Even though some things just did not make sense. I thought, ok, give it time. Then came season two. That just went all over the place. Much of it did not even seem relevant. Oh, and really drawn out. Season two could of been done within 5 episodes. Too many useless scenes. People walking, people eating.... Obviously they were short on ideas and just had to fill the time. I had a hard time watching this to the end of S02. Mostly predictable. Many things just kinda tying off a knot somehow, without putting thought into it. I don't want to get into spoilers.

It does not deserve all these awards and praise. If you are totally bored, and there is nothing else to watch, this will help you get a well deserved nap.

Memories memories memories.... I was Dizdancis for 25 years. All the scenes from Toronto bring back memories. So many familiar faces in the movie. I spent the first half of my life tightly entwined in the same places, culture and activities. There was no animosity between the two groups, but friendly banter. The second half of my life I have been in Latvia. The Song and Dance festivals always move me deeply. I am no longer able to dance, but I still love watching them. This movie encapsulates the feelings of it all very well. I don't know what the schedule is for screening, and where it will be. Some people did not make it to the gala show here in Riga. Hopefully the movie will return for additional screenings.
