But the conversation stops while the singing is going on. So when the singing is happening, is time paused for everyone else? Because otherwise there would be a huge gap in the conversation while the song is going on... I think you just have to go with it. Like with most musicals I guess. Exactly, you just have to suspend disbelief! |

I agree it's the adult Glee! but I really like this and deals with much more serious issues.
I also agree that the choreography is stunning. Like in this week's episode where the background IT staff broke out some sharp moves. Also the somewhat age appropriate movements of Mary Steenburgen's character.
For me Alex Newell and John Clarence Stewart make the show. She is brilliant! Lot's of throw away lines and that guy's hair in amazing!
Also good to see Skylar Astin in something outside of Pitch Perfect.
I also think it's incredibly brave of actors who may not necessarily be trained singers or dancers to be be pushing their boundaries in such a way. They may not be perfect, but the pulling it off! As I'm still stuck in the Big Brother house I watched it on catch up last night and was mightily impressed with Mary Steenbergen.
I'm kinda wondering how many Broadway faces may appear in this.
For me, these kinda shows tap into a certain audience and just keeps musicals alive and the forefront of viewers.
(Once this friggin virus passes) anything that is going to help get bums on seats in a live theatre I'm all for.

Anyone still watching this?
I'm a couple of episodes behind atm, I'm watching with my 12yr old daughter and despite being at home 24/7 we're finding it difficult to fit it in!
I'm really enjoying it, some cheesyness and US guff but also some laugh out loud moments too.
I love the big dance numbers, the cafe was perfection!

I’ve just caught up with it this weekend. I’m loving it cheese and all! It is funny, touching and has some fantastic routines.

Yep I'm sticking with it. Alex Newell and Lauren Graham have enough sassy lines to keep me entertained, and Skylar Astin is adorable. Some great numbers as well. 'Fight Song' performed in sign language was particularly well done.

I'm still watching it (mainly on catch up) but am loving it.
I trust that I'm up to date. The last episode I watched was the engagement party where everything went wrong for Zoey and Skylar Astinn sung 500 Miles.

I've got two recorded, I've just watched the episode with Naoko (Bonnie) and Mo at Church!
I love Mo, and Zoey's dad.
I'd better find time and catch up by tomorrow nights episode!

I am still to catch up on last nights episode but for anyone still watching this, last week Zoey sang a couple of songs.
No Mo last week.
As I say, I still have last nights episode to watch.
For theatre geeks/nerds, look out for Bernadette Peters in the upcoming weeks sing "Feeling Good"

Yes, I'm hooked on this after being doubtful at the beginning. It's so good-natured without being sickly, and I like its sense of humour. It's one of the (few) highlights of my week at the moment!

Caught this weeks episode on i-player last night.
For this who have yet to watch it I won't give away any spoilers other that to say (simply) stunning choreography including a routine with a deaf cast. Beautiful.

The finale was great, I must say. Glad I stuck with it, and I'm looking forward to more.

Just out of curiosity, how far behind the US are we on this? We can't be that far behind, surely?

This Wednesday on E4 is episode 10, and there are 12 episodes in season 1.
n1david, where are you seeing confirmation of a season 2? All the sites I'm looking at just say they are hopeful for it. Fingers crossed you're right cause I absolutely adore this show.
