The Big Leap

This show is addictive! I hate reality TV but this is great. It's a show within a show about people who are struggling in their daily life who sign up for a reality TV show to train to do a ballet performance of swan lake. But it's so much better than that. It's a GREAT script with Talented actors. This cast really does mesh well together. I've been a fan of Scott Foley since Felicity but he shines as a work obsessed producer just trying to get the most sensational story out of a bunch of nobodies. This cast is diverse and I don't know if this is Simone Recasner first big show but she certainly shines as Gabby. Kevin Daniels as Wayne Fontaine is hilarious and heartfelt. Sr'Darius Blain as Reggie Sadler the ex football player is so believable. It's only episode 4 and I'm so invested in these characters. This is the TV I didn't even know how much I needed. Go watch it and you will thank me later.

Take note backstory writers. The Big Leap manages to squash the essential elements of origin without droning on and boring the audience. The show gets straight to the meat.

The characters feel real and at the same time just a little exaggerated for humour and drama. Speaking of which, I laughed at the production crew and their machinations to manipulate the dance show contestants.

But there felt like real emotion as well. Reveals that the characters did not know which were tragic or humorous or both.

This is a good show.

Sort of ... and much more! A heck of a lot of fun!

Fast paced, clever, and fun to watch.

Interesting characters and cool plot lines that I want see through many more weeks.

I love dance and music shows, this show deserves a chance.

This show has a little bit of something for everyone. Its has the comedy factor, so you will definitely laugh here and there. It has several unexpected romances so you will surely find one to root for if not all of them. There also is an extremely diverse cast so there is someone for everyone to identify with. Overall, its very much a feel good experience. You will definitely at times notice that you are smiling while you are watching it even when don't initially realize it.
