This show is so much more than it appears to be at first. Great casting (all of them), and a story that is so well done. Give it a chance, you will not regret it.

Absolutely hooked

A classical tale of ambition with a powerful modern setting. The mystifying world of the Beauty Pageant, where everything is about scoring points, and there are many scores to be settled. Catherine Zeta-Jones has never been better. As Vicki Ellis she prowls through each scene like a tigress, strong, independent, defiant almost, yet vulnerable. A latter day Mildred Pierce (Joan Crawford, 1945) or Charlotte Vale (Bette Davis, Now, Voyager 1942), but this is no 1940s noir, absolutely modern this is the fast-paced era of social media, where things go wrong in Vicki's seemingly perfect world. First she must deal with a client who wrecks her own chances, and then takes on a client in which she has very little faith. She is forced to ask for help, while struggling with a family secret that threatens to blow everything out of the water. The writing is crisp, sweet, sour, funny, sad, it packs a lot into each half hour episode, the situations are believable and the dialogue spot on. The cast are wonderful and give it their all, no coasters here, Zeta-Jones is a huge stand out, but as the young hopeful, Belle Shouse is far from overwhelmed by the presence of a well-known star, she gives her sweet, naïve young Miss Claremore just enough acidity to fit right in. Based on what I have seen so far, I would choose to purchase this one to keep forever, and it is rare that I do that. This is one of those series that you instinctively choose for your desert island collection.

Must Watch Absolutely Hooked

CZJ is fantastic! I love this show. Was hooked by the end of episode 1. Most of the show focuses on the difficulty of being in a pageant and the eating disorders a lot of these girl have. It's very emotional.

Love Love Love!!!

Catherine Zeta Jones is Amazing! Each episode left me wanting more!!!

Good Show Great Catherine Zeta Jones

[kathleenmcdowell · 10/10 · 22 February 2019]

The show is quite good and it isn't preachy or boring. Catherine Zeta Jones is so good, just fantastic. The characters are well formed and play on types rather than totally rely on them. It is a sly show and the character development points are well paced. None of the characters are likeable but they are totally Lovable. I hope we get to see more because season 1 just scratches the surface.

Worth watching for sure.

Yes
