Simon Cowell: El próximo acto

So good and well done!!! This series had me glued. I finished it in one day. It was nice to see Lauren & Eric. It also showed how much hard work he puts into this process. I loved watching the whole process and truly hope he considers doing a season 2. I hope the band puts out songs soon. They all have great voices.

Can't lie... I was thinking: why do I even care who mister Cowell brings together this time; milking the concept, repeating the same story over and over again... not my cup of tea.

But ai really have to admit: I lived it deom beginning to end. It was fresh, energetic and really REALLY fun to watch.

You really get a sence if what it is like to put a boyband together and in spite of all my critical thoughts I am blown away.

You get to know them, start to like and even live them, feel with them and (NEVER THOUGHT) feel along with Simon Cowell to do the trick again. Sceptic at first, now a huge fan. Wish them all the success in the world!

I really loved watching binge watching over one weekend. It was great to see so much talent on display, and as a parent myself, with a 17-year-old son, it really touched my heart seeing how proud the families were and just how talented all the contestants were.

The show captures not only the performances but also the emotions behind them, which makes it really enjoyable and easy to watch. Simon is Simon .. fun, sarcastic and straight to the point. Which adds a lot of entertainment.

A perfect weekend watch.

The only genuinely interesting moments in this documentary were the glimpses into Simon Cowell's personal life, watching him interact with his family and seeing who he is behind the TV persona. What really struck me was how sad it was to see a man with such low self-esteem and such obvious struggles with self image. I was genuinely surprised; on TV he has always come across as confident, articulate and self-assured. It seems the industry has really swallowed up his sense of self perception. It is also a bit concerning considering he positions himself as a mentor for youth and young men. I always assumed the "cold" side of Simon was partly an act for television, but his comments about his stepson's graduation felt genuinely cold hearted and selfish. The very parts of the show that were meant to give insight into him actually ended up turning me off him completely.

Meanwhile, the boy band segments were dull and I honestly found myself fast-forwarding through most of that.

Overall, the documentary wasn't good and is a bore.

Not sure what the point of this show was, a vanity project for Simon to try and relive his early days of the X-Factor? Maybe he's trying to convince ITV to do another series but itt's not the X-Factor by any stretch. I don't really care to see his day-to-day life.

If anything this showed a nastier side of SC with a lack of respect for his partner or maybe it was all played for TV.

You might go into this thinking it's a search for the next big boy band but alas you are left with a blank as to what may happen - an unknown band signed by a music label and no song with a possible 2026 release.

It's clear some of the boys do not have much of a musical note in their heads when they are shown singing outside of a manufactured scenario. Then to top it all there is no record deal - it's up to them to secure a record deal

The Next Act title is a misnomer, there is no next act unless Simon is hoping for another act about his life after this.
