Well, I watched the whole thing, and enjoyed some of it... but my biggest problem is that it was like 'Cliché Writing 101' ... it seems they wanted to throw in as many clichés as they could:
A naïve female lead who can only manage one gormless expression throughout - check
A mean rival - check
An injured, drug addicted, sex addicted beauty - check
A crazy conductor - check
Wait.. let's make that two crazy conductors - check
A quirky roommate - check
An artsy boyfriend - check
I could go on.... suffice to say I was disappointed. There was so much potential for this to be great.
I love Gael Garcia Bernal .. but he is much more suited to dramatic roles in my opinion. He seemed like a caricature in this.
And the final, biggest disappointed came right at the end when they tried to create something between Hayley and Rodrigo. There was absolutely no sexual chemistry between them the whole time, and to do that right at the end seem like extremely lazy writing, lacking in any originality! (Plus they just look completely wrong together!). Trying desperately to line something up for another season to hold some interest.. but that dead horse has been beaten so many times before, they should have come up with something better.
