The series can't decide what it's really about. What's the main plot? Who is the lead character? Is this a crime story, a love story, a ballet story..? Nothing makes sense and the plot keeps changing so quickly and with no explanation that it's hard to follow. Nothing to focus on. Holes at every step of the way. The only thing consistent about this show is its inconsistency. The way characters behave is nothing like people would normally behave even in the most complicated of circumstances. The words they speak sound empty, their actions are confusing and lack elementary logic. (WARNING - SPOILERS AHEAD)
From the beginning we are led to believe one girl is the main character. But just a couple of episodes later, you realise she's nowhere in any of the main plots. It's two other girls competing for a solo in the showcase, not her. It's everyone else to be the suspect for murder, not her. It's everyone else having relationship problems, again not her. Let's go to the showcase - it keeps changing even within a single episode. It's this topic, then no, it's something else. The battle between two dancers for the main role in the showcase is ridiculous, as it's been changed like 10 times already. The girl with an injury keeps dancing like it's nothing, then quits, then she's back, then she's out again, then completely and miraculously healed. Girls go from friends to enemies then back to friends again then back to enemies in nanoseconds. What's the time frame here anyway? The police investigation, are you kidding me? Police woman hanging around while NOT even on duty, appearing everywhere, arresting people. The potential murder victim left to lie in a hospital bed with people (potential killers) coming in and out as they please?
Every episode also has a completely unnecessary monologue about dancing and the meaning of life. Overload of sex scenes that leave you indifferent.
if it weren't for a chronic lack of dance movies, I wouldn't bother to watch.
