I love this show. Its about a girl group that had one hit twenty years ago and decide to reunite. It doesn't go where you think it is going to go...at least it hasn't through the first nine shows. The journey takes place in a familiar yet alternate universe of influencers, tastemakers, and superficiality that borders on the ridiculous at time. For example, one of the girls in the band signs a 1,000 year contract that has her as a judge on a show called; "American Warrior Singer"...which combines American Ninja Warrior and American Idol, a slot on the Judge Dred House where TV talent show judges all live in a mansion and have pranks played on them...and....the studio owns the rights to her corpse. If I have one complaint is that there is too much comedy in the shows; I'd like to see more meat myself. But some of the jokes just kill me. One of the girls has a piano (that she has given a person's name) that is made of clear acrylic and takes up most of an apartment. She proudly says that it was made by the same people who make the "Realtor of the year awards". Another joke is where one of the girls admits that she works at the Van Nuys airport shooting geese on the runway and she gets "paid by the goose." I lost it when I heard that. What else...Meredith Scardino and Tina Fey are two of the executive producers...there are guest stars in nearly every episode from Wanda Sykes to Jimmy Fallon to Stephen Colbert to Vanessa Williams.... The cast is clearly very talented with Sara Barelles (I gave up trying to spell her name right), Busy Phillips, Paula Pell, and Rene Elise Goldsberry (you may know her as Angelica Schulyer from the original Hamilton cast). Something else I really like (geek wise) is that the Peacock platform allows for a full run of credits to where the graphic designer has her name in the same sized font as Tina Fey and Vanessa Williams. They didn't have to do that. I am hoping for a second season. High marks all around.
