Perfect Harmony

(Initial Impressions) This new series needs some work. The story is rushed and uneven. It was as if they were trying to fit a whole season of plot into one episode. The talent is there, there just needs to be room for them to realize their characters. The motivation for the characters was either non-existent or muddled. I was looking forward to some good music, but all we got is a mishmash of noise. Based on the pilot, I give the episode a 4 (poor) out of 10. Based on the talent, I expect this to get better, so I'm giving the series an optimistic 6 (potential) out of 10. {SitCom with music}

Most good TV shows need a few episodes before they come together. I'm really hoping this is one of them. The first episode had a lot of potential it just didn't quite reach - but I have hope that it improves quickly. In its favor - Bradley Whitford, characters that aren't stereotypes, some clearly good singers, and an overall positive message. As someone who has been in a number of choirs before, I'll be interested to see how realistic this turns out to be.

I watched the pilot and I actually laughed at some of it. I love love LOVE any show with music and anything that is uplifting. So if anyone is looking for that, watch it! It definitely reminds me of Sister Act, Glee and a little bit of Pitch Perfect. (Anna Camp is cool!) A music professor helps out a small town choir to win a competition. They used a "mash up" (Glee did these also) with two songs. The music wasn't so great. Would I watch it again? Probably. It might take a few more episodes to get into it. I'm surprised at how short it was...wish it was longer than 30 minutes.

It's really kinda funny... the jokes are clever and cute

I think the first episode is one of the best tv comedy episodes I ever saw. It has genuine wit like something by Shaw or Wilde or Twain, and genuine heart, although in the context of comedy well made (contrived) plot structure. I was astounded when I found not every one shared my reaction
