Pretty Terrible


Star is the most annoying and least attractive of the three girls. I have no idea why the Alexandra girl would put up with this nonsense and not just find two other girls who could sing. The show is exploitive, trashy, and full of cliches galore. Tried to give it a shot, but...

mm it was better than I thought it would be. Star is kind of annoying but I thought it was decent

reply

I liked it too. I'm at least interested enough to tune in again in January.

Seems pretty good. I agree with you on Star. I'm not sure I would have chosen her as the main character. I do hope they develop the little sister to have a bit more spunk. Also, since Alexandria came up with the group, I would think she would lead it...that's disappointing.

reply

They had a nationwide search for the leads. The girl who plays Star is married to a big music producer. She actually wrote "Work From Home" by Fifth Harmony. That songwriting experience might prove useful. I wonder if she helps write the songs too.

reply

It's unrealistic so far but I'm only 20 minutes in. No way she makes it far after killing the dude.
Queen Latifah, Lenny Kravitz and an original soundtrack will have to keep me in this one it seems.
I see Quincy (Al B Sure's son) is in this. Lol good for him!

I tuned out about 10 minutes in. If it makes it past mid-season which it probably will while empire is on hiatus, I can see Lee & Company doing a crossover between Empire and Star.
But the storyline started out really dumb to me. Star goes to her worker and begs to know where her sister is and then they track down the god mother. And then they meet up with the young woman who's going to be their agent based on a youtube audition? What universe do they all live in?

reply

It happens in Lee Daniels' world and nowhere else. It's pretty far-fetched right now.

reply

It's a tv show. Just enjoy it dear god.

reply

The genre of this TV show is fantasy because it is not plausible in any other form.

reply

I agree... + Terrible script and awfully bad acting. The music was dreadful too..I doubt there will be a Season 2. > Cant compete with Empire..

reply

The girls are talented singers and dancers, but the show is terrible. Worse than Empire, but they both should be cancelled.

I wish these girls have a future in the music business, but the pilot was a cliché soap opera.

reply

I think the type of shows like Empire and Star are far more better than the lame, crappy shows like Glee, Scream Queens, and Grandfathered. I'm actually glad Grandfathered got cancelled. It was really bad in content.

Simply me.

reply

Even at its worst, Glee was better than this dross.
