Fictional view of people entering a dance contest reality show.
~~ Most favorable review said, "Funny, occasionally touching and pretty savvy about how the reality-TV sausage gets made"
Another said, "It’s amusing and easy to watch. But it also feels hemmed in by its premise, a little too overdetermined."
Another said it "worked for me fairly well as a comedy and felt pretty hollow at every turn as an inspirational drama,"
~~  Since I don't watch dance contest reality shows, I'm not sure why I would want to watch it.
It's basically about a manipulative producer.  That was the idea behind "UnREAL" except that one
was a fictional behind-the-scenes view of a show like "The Bachelor" and I never got past the
first episode of that one.
