Tiny Pretty Things

It has a decent plot that is obfuscated by mediocre acting and the fact that the entire series is misplaced in terms of time period. The show should have in a college setting. A high school setting is a complete misfire for the plot. Add to that a terrible score, unnecessary settings that are designed to sexualize teenagers (eg, why so many scenes in a sauna!?), and you have a formula for a completely forgettable series. It's a pity really.

I know when this type of show is cast, they have to cast professional dancers and so not everyone is going to be a great actor. However I think the dancers did a good job in this show. The only person I wasn't overly keen on was the actress who played Nevaeh. She could have been cast better. Also Lauren Holly was the wrong choice for the character of Monique Du Bois. For me, she didn't have the acting chops to pull this character off. Someone like Viola Davis bringing Annalise Keating vibes would have been perfect in this role. Despite this I really liked the show. It's Riverdale and Pretty Little Liars meets Black Swan. It was a good storyline although it was very predictable. It wasn't difficult to guess who pushed Cassie and it was also easy to predict what happened right at the end as well.

One thing I didn't like at all were the odd dream sequences that many of the characters had. There were too many and I felt the cheapened the show a bit. They started to become very annoying.

All in all it's a good show with some solid performances and a very very good soundtrack. I'm looking forward to season 2.

This is a decent show with a decent storyline. It's nice to see a ballerina of color. Several different types of relationships. The dancing is well done. This is one of the shows that may have several seasons. Pretty sure this will be renewed.

It's an okay show, lots of drama and backstabbing. There are a lot of gratuitous sex scenes, even a few that push the envelope of appropriateness, such as teachers/staff sleeping with minors. I give it a big "Meh"

First off, you guys have to remember that these are trained professional dancers, acting came later for them. While the acting is questionable sometimes, it is a good story and one that sparked my interest and was able to keep my attention, see it for yourself and don't pay attention to the negative reviews.
