A lot of good, hindered by the format
jakew-5348428 September 2020
As I've felt with all the shows I've watched on Quibi, the short format really hurt this show for me. Which is a shame, because I'm a massive fan Nick and Matt Lang, and this show was at times a great showcase for their wacky brand of silly comedy.

Darren Criss finally doing just straight up stupid, fun, slapstick comedy was absolutely what I've been waiting to see him do. He's always had a charming screen presence, but here he lets his too often under utilized comedic timing shine. If I'm correct, he had a hand of all the original and hilarious songs in this show. He should be proud, because they are absolutely fantastic and surprisingly catchy. All of the actors in the show did a great job, in particular John Stamos and Jeff Blim. They both had me cracking up every time either of them were on screen.

Despite having nothing really negative to say about anything in the series, I can't help but feel like we missed out on what's not in the series. Every episode is less than ten minutes long, and there's hardly anything to grab onto in the show other than the jokes (which still aren't given enough time to fully flourish). I remember reading something years ago about Criss taking this show to Fox, for what I can only assume would have been a half hour series that would have had actual characters and storylines to go along with the wonderful humor. It's a shame we never got to see that show.

well... ah well

If you don't mind his overly enthusiastic optimistic jumping on the couch acting versus her emotionless grating monotonous voice... the songs are great tho. the only thing keeps me from turning it off are the songs. five stars for the songs.

Short and sweet

Its an hilarious behind the scenes musical about the world of two best friends who are song writers with catchy and soulful tunes about the most mundane aspects of their lives. While I absolutely adored the stars of the series, John Stamos stands out for me in his villainous role. A nice little dose of humor and a must watch.

Royally bad

I gave this one star for Darren Criss and one star for Kether Donohue, both of whom I think are incredibly talented. Unfortunately, the writing was a total miss for me.

If only this show wasn't on Quibi...

The show looks really promising. Wonderful cast, cool concept and all clips that have been released on YouTube were hilarious so far. I would love to watch the entire show, but I haven't really figured out how, since Quibi doesn't seem to be available in my country. I am 100 % that if this show was on Netflix it would be a huge success.

I wanted to see more of it but the format caused a probable hinderance.

In the show we meet two aspiring songwriters Sara and Pierce who are incredibly talented. We get to be a part of their amazing songwriting journey. We get to see their amazing dynamic. I loved the punch lines, its really well written. I love the choice of the storyline cause most of the audiences don't know how much work and how many writers and song producers are involved in making a BIG HIT. Shoutout to the songwriting community.

I just wish the show had a little longer format. I just wanted to see more of it. Lastly ,(as usual) I loved DARREN CRISS, JOHN STAMOS and KETHER DONOHUE's performance particularly. I just want to say it although this sounds quite repetitive , DARREN CRISS as PIERCE, is all that we wanted to see but never knew.

Needed my Glee fix!!
lukeysounds25 July 2020
Maybe if I wasn't a huge fan of Glee and Daniel Criss I could see giving a lower score.. but I am a huge fan and I loved seeing the cameos! I laughed and the music was fun and catchy! A must watch for Glee fans.
