#1Bunheads: Thoughts?
Posted: 2/25/20 at 3:44am

I've been watching Bunheads on Hulu. I have a lot of mixed feelings. It's a guilty pleasure for me. Sutton Foster is quite good(as is Kelly Bishop) although sometimes Foster has to deliver really forced dialogue. That is the main problem with the show. The script is terrible. The worst part of the show involves the four teenage girls. It's not like they aren't good actresses or have interesting storylines on their own. But their scenes are the most uninteresting and annoying to me because I just can't stand the banter that they have. It's too fast, too forced, and gives me a headache which also applies to the rest of the dialogue for all the characters. One of the other issues with the show(in the front half of the season) is that the stakes are really low. Nothing happens. Comedies can  run into this problem I guess but really nothing was happening for a good stretch of time in the first half of the season. Sutton does a good job though. It makes me want to watch Younger to see if its any good. What did you think of the show?
