Heather Reviews: Smash

Smash is a brand new t.v show, and I thought I would review it. Being a fan of Glee, a musical t.v show appealed to me. However, I didn't start watching this show until episode 2 was out. The show stars Debra Messing, Jack Davenport, Katherine McPhee, Christian Borle, Megan Hilty and many others. It is a Musical Dramedy (dramatic comedy) about the behind the scenes of creating a musical about Marilyn Monroe.




Debra Messing (Julia Houston) and Christian Borle (Tom Levitt) are the writers and the creators of the musical. As of episode 2, they are searching for Marilyn. Up for the part, are two very talented girls in different ways. Katherine McPhee plays Karen Cartwright, the rookie girl next door. Megan Hilty (Ivy Lynn) has the Marilyn appearance down pack.

I will say that so far, I'm enjoying the show. It is like Glee, but mature. Which is good because Glee has been irritating lately. After the second episode, I found myself wanting more. I'm not going to give much away, because I would recommend watching the show. I did find myself immediately cheering for Katherine McPhee's character. She's so relatable and down to earth. I like Debra Messing, mainly because I adore her hair. I will say that her "family" scenes are so corny and hard to watch. Those are probably the only parts of the show I'm not a fan of, the family backstories.




However, I do recommend this show! It is very well done and very interesting! I can't wait for more episodes! I am worried about whether the rest of the episodes will hold up, but only time will tell! The songs are also very well done, and not so much auto tuned like the Glee songs. So far, I'd say 4/5.




Happy Valentines day! Until next time,

Heather!
