If you are a fan of musicals, you must watch Smash! I caught an early release of it and I am so excited to see the nest ep. The music is great. The cast is great and the whole thing is just fantastic.
*update - I really did enjoy the eps I saw, but I didn't finish it. And sadly knowing it was gonna be axed did not pull me into season 2. But listening to the theme song today and re-watching the trailer, makes me want to go back and watch the series again.

So it's basically an adult Glee... and I really mean "adult" Glee :D
ReplyDeletewell comparisons will be drawn no doubt. But it's set around the making of a broadway play so most of the singing makes sense in context. But basically yeah, it's aimed at an older audience.
