Smash review – 2×08: ‘The Bells and Whistles’

March 27, 2013 by yellowwait

Last week Smash left us with the possibility of a cringe inducing romance. This week, they bring back the yawn inducing one. Sam’s (Leslie Odom Jr.) back. Luckily for us, there’s drama involved. Let’s dish. [Read more…]

Smash review – 2×07: ‘Musical Chairs’

This week on Smash: two major exits, a show closing, a new song, and the beginning of a cringe worthy love triangle. On the bright side, it’s the end of the dreadful Terry Falls (Sean Hayes) storyline. Let’s bitch! [Read more…]

Smash review – 2×06: ‘The Fringe’

Another week, another ho hum episode of Smash. While season two has been much more enjoyable then season one, there are still moments and plot points that make me shake my head. At least in this episode we get another killer song from Hit List to add to our playlists.

Let’s bitch… [Read more…]

Smash review – 2×05: ‘The Read-Through’

March 6, 2013 by yellowwait

After last week’s subpar episode, this week Smash rebounds to regain its second season above-average status while giving us a look at three shows in the making. My questions: where is J-Hud? Where has Nikki Blonsky been hiding? And why is Christian Borle not singing in every episode?

Smash review – 2×03: ‘The Dramaturg’

February 20, 2013 by yellowwait

After last week’s break (thanks State of the Union), we are back for episode three . This week Smash focuses on the two main storylines: the rewriting of Bombshell and the new musical by Kyle (Andy Mientus) and Jimmy (Jeremy Jordan), while throwing a bone to both Ivy (Megan Hilty) and Veronica (Jennifer Hudson).

Let’s bitch. [Read more…]

Smash review – 2×01 / 2×02: ‘On Broadway’ / ‘The Fallout’

Well here we are, a new season, a new show runner, new faces, and a new reviewer. After what many would called a disastrous first season, Smash is back for an encore. Will the hate watchers keep watching or will the show be able to save itself? Well NBC is banking on it with all the heavy promotion of the season two opener. But let’s not get distracted by all the razzle dazzle (OMG it’s J-Hud!!), let’s bitch.
