What I have to say....
I stumbled upon this briefly- heard- about programme on Sky Anytime, one desperately boring afternoon. After the first five minutes, I wasn't expecting much more than a glorified glee, but I was proven wrong. although similar to the popular teen-musical drama, Smash is something more mature, something for an older audience with a little more spark and sexuality to it.
The series centers on the process of creating a Broadway musical based on the life of Marilyn Monroe – written by the successful songwriting duo of Tom (Christian Borle) and Julia (Debra Messing). Julia recently began the process of adopting a child with her husband Frank (Brian d’Arcy James) of many years, but her focus is torn when she has the opportunity to write another Broadway hit. A rivalry soon forms for the lead role between a youthful, inexperienced Midwestern beauty Karen (Katharine McPhee) – who is trying to find fame in the big city against all odds – and stage veteran Ivy Bell (Megan Hilty), who’s determined to leave the chorus line and finally get her big break.
each character is undetstandable and relatable, and i felt my self warming to each one of them, as well as wanting more once the episode finish. My verdict? I will be watching the next episode and hopefully not be dissapointed anytime soon. The americans do make some rubbish, but this shall not disappoint, its a pity us English don't make any big production series like this.
