This series has precious ingredients in the form of actual acting ballet dancers, which could have led to a beautiful, delicate series, but they botched it with being too much. It's such a shame.
The script is drama overkill, the acting of some actors is like that as well. And I don't think that's because of the actors in most cases, I think that's more a choice of the director.
Portraying the narcissism of the ballet company founder for instance is so over the top, it becomes kind of ridiculous. If you want something that portrays art, you at least want it to feel real, right?
Then there is the lead actress who, for me, was out her depth with this role. Her storyline is heavy, but her emotional acting pallet seems too limited to pull it of. I couldn't feel what she was trying to tell me. You see an introverted woman that has trauma, but that's about it.
I will give this show a six, and that's just mainly for the dance-acting production. Which I would love to see more of. But done better.
Where you can feel a real ballet atmosphere.
