I was excited about this as people are very fond of the TV series it's based on, although I'd never seen it. Shows about music are an interesting idea, especially women in music, although they don't always work (see also Teeth 'n' Smiles this year). I think it was okay. Everyone in it was good, it just didn't really work anymore.
