Girls5Eva - La rivincita delle pop star

Clearly this show has the same writer's room as it's got that hyper-rapid insane jokes-per-minute thing that those two shows share and that makes future re-watches rewarding because you're pretty much guaranteed to have missed at least half of them.

Also - the girls are all super talented (especially Dawn), the songs are catchy as hell - there's not much to not like. I can guarantee the bad reviews here are from the folks don't like the fire hose of over-the-top surrealist pop-culture jokes being fired at you.

Renée Elise Goldsberry is doing a perfect "Jenna from 30-rock" impression in a lot of ways. It's sometimes jarring to be looking elsewhere and hear her voice and think "Jenna!" then turn around and see Renee. Maybe it's just me.

Anyway, big thumbs up from me!

I don't know why all the hate for this show I mean it's hilarious and it's totally Fey's style! I hope they will make more seasons and more episodes! Renee Elise is sooo funny! Love her character so much. Love the others too even tho busy's character seems a little too forced to be a stupid/aloof blonde. But overall the show totally deserves all the Emmy nominations and win!

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!

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 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).
