shadowkatJust finished watching the third episode of SMASH - Enter Joe Dimaggio...and this show continues to rock. It's great. Refreshing. New. Wonderful songs. Wonderful performances. Fun. Yeah, it's possibly cliche in places but no more so than anything else that I've watched.
I'm surprised it's as good as it is. Wasn't expecting it to be. Was expecting something more mediocre like Glee.
So far the best new series of this year are Revenge, Once Upon a Time and Smash - all female focused.
Theresa Rebeck is really putting a feminist spin on Smash, the female characters are strong.
And the politics of showbiz on target. Finally figured out where I'd seen the actor playing Derek Willes, the Director, before - Coupling. He played Steven on Coupling (the role that Stephen Moffat based on himself). I loved him in that and I love him in this.
If you like musicals and haven't tried this? You really should. It's that good.
