Smash recap – 1×11: ‘The Movie Star’

April 17, 2012 by tvangie

It was another frustrating episode this week on Smash, riddled with plot points that no one really cares about. There were a couple of saving graces, but on the whole, this episode was a dud.

Let’s bitch it out. [Read more…]

Smash recap – 1×10: ‘Understudy’

It was another ho-hum episode on Smash this week, but it did deliver the best musical number of the entire series thus far.

Smash recap: 1×09 – ‘Hell on Earth’

April 3, 2012 by tvangie

This week Smash continues to figure out what kind of show it wants to be but ultimately, it feels like a game of high and low: we get some really good stuff, but that’s balanced out with some really horrible junk.

Let’s bitch it out!

Smash recap – 1×08: ‘The Coup’

There’s a benefit to recapping a show a bit late: you get a taste of what to expect from the reactions of others. To say that the reaction to ‘The Coup,’ the eighth episode of NBC’s Smash, is critical is a bit of an understatement (vehement, disbelieving hatred is probably closer to the truth). Thankfully, going in with below zero expectations made parts of a terrible episode tolerable, so that’s got to be good for something, right?

Let’s bitch it out…

Smash recap – 1×06: ‘Chemistry’

March 13, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

Hola Smash fans! TVAngie is busy writing hate mail to Katherine McPhee, so she asked me to step in for this week’s episode. While I’ll confess that I’m enjoying the show more than my writing partner, I’m still finding some fairly significant faults in the singing saga. Will tonight be the night things begin to gel a bit more?

Let’s bitch it out…

Smash recap – 1×5: ‘Let’s Be Bad’

March 6, 2012 by tvangie

This week on Smash, we got our first fully staged musical number. Is this an indicator of where the show is headed?

Let’s take a closer look after the jump.
