Star

The first episode of this show was pretty interesting. It's not really a new story line for a show but it's refreshing on bringing different races and sexualities together. However, by the third episode, the cringe started to really set in.

In this show, they don't really tell you how old the girls are. I guessed Star is to be going on 18 since she said to the social worker that she is almost legal to get her sister. So, I'm assuming Simone and Alexandra are 17. Simone my be able to pass as 17 but Alexandra and Star come across 20 plus, especially Star. They should have made them roommates in an apartment in their 20's trying to make it big. Ages 21-25, those ages are still young. Star is seducing people much older than her and club hopping at 17?

Star, Alexandra, and Simone all have this rebellious attitude. It's either against each other or others. Anyone who talks to them in this show they have to respond with attitude. It seems like it's in every episode thus far. They can relax sometimes. Carlotta, everyone in the salon, Alexandra's mom and dad have attitude too. It's too much attitude.

There are some things in this show that are cringy and corny. Like, some of the musical scenes and some of the things that are said in scenes. All in all the first episode was decent but it's going downhill from there for me. I don't want to elaborate too much because I don't want to spoil it for those who are interested in watching it.

The writing is very very poor. It doesn't make sens at all, even really hard to believe. Also hard to believe that it even crossed their minds as it's too far from reality and it's not SF. There is a huge lack of coherence. Dancing in front the police, the whole killing things, the families, the songs writing just before the show... actually nothing make sens and sometimes it's pathetic. You can't avoid saying few WTF for each episode.

I put 5 for the actors at least, most deserve better. By the way Naomie is a good actress.

I really don't like to say negative things or hurt anyone it's sad because it's more written to make quick money than to make something really good. It's a pity because these actors could really make a good show.

Storyline was pretty soapy and major elements were unbelievable (like the artists never leave Atlanta - even the awards were supposedly in Atlanta). But the music was great and the acting was fine. Overall an enjoyable watch.

I would give this show a 10/10 as I think it's an amazing show. The acting from everyone is phenomenal.

Brittany O'Grady's character was hands down my favourite. Her emotional range as an actress is outstanding. The character who plays Star irritated me a lot. I feel like after 3 seasons she would stop being so selfish and not be so guarded all the time. Her tough chick act got too much to watch that I had to stop watching it for a little bit.

I know it's a character but found her rude and ungrateful.

Besides that, I love watching anything with Queen Latifah. She's the GOAT!! Brandy never disappoints ever!!

I found this show by mistake when flipping through channels. I am now hooked. Knowing family members that have been involved in the music business makes it even more intriguing to me. I have always loved both Queen Latifahs singing and acting skills and must say she plays someone you can only learn to love more and more each week. Benjamin Pratt plays the part of a man who you can both hate and love at the same time. Even though I am not familiar with the girls that portray the young singers.(though a bit risqué at times) they are exceptional. To be honest I can't think of any actor in this show that doesn't keep you wanting more. The only problem is every time I get interested in a new series they end up taking it off the air. I am pulling for this one!
