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.
