Girls5eva

This show is extremely funny but only to the right audience.

If you liked kimmy Schmidt (or anything by tina fey), this is definetly for you.

If you love love love hamilton, you will love this.

If you liked the Crazy Ex Girlfriend Songs, this is perfect for you.

If you like shows you can watch over and over and still find new hidden jokes, references and callbacks, this is definitely for you.

This show has a high addiction factor. I constantly watch it again and again!

Although i've recommend it a lot, not many would agree with me, but only because it is just for a very niche audience.

So, any negative commenters just don't get the jokes and humor of it all. You have to experience it for yourself!

I absolutely love Sara Bareilles (literally my favourite singer/songwriter of all time) and she is great in this (or anything she's in). But Paula Pell is the true star of this show with her comedic timing. Those great one liners and brilliant comedic delivery - she's absolutely hilarious.

I just love hearing Sara Bareilles sing in every episode and she really is a great actress! She is the very definition of a triple threat!! Busy Philips is good in this too and Renée Elise Goldsberry's voice is just insane. It's not wonder she has done so well for herself on Broadway!!

This is a light and funny show with some great music (and a few annoying earworms).

A cluttered, ropey but remarkably likeable slice of nostalgic millennial foolishness from Meredith Scardino - strongly reminiscent of Kimmy Schmidt but lacking its consistency somewhat. It's held together by a strong central cast, some incredibly sharp observations on contemporary (and early 00s) pop culture and a bottomless well of surreal asides and over the top scenarios. Good solid silly fun with some real heart mixed in there too. Thoroughly deserves its deeper continuation on Netflix, although sadly it still seems to have found it's audience really.

Girls5Eva takes the trope of the nineties girls bands, most obviously Spice Girls, and turns it into a great where-are-they-now comedy. Several times I just laughed aloud in every epidode.

The theme is that the girls were, at best, a B level group with one hit record and an exploitative manager. The flashbacks show them at their supposedly prime. Roll on the years and none have been subsequent entertainment successes. Their previous careers forgotten until a popular rapper samples their hit and the group decide, some reluctantly, to make a comeback. However one of the group is dead and the decisions they made as ill informed youngsters now haunts their attempts.

Every character shadows the music industry stereotypes. I just laughed at the sight jokes and also the nostalgia.

I had been looking forward to this release, and it did not disappoint. These four women are extremely funny while Goldsberry often steals any scene she is in.
