[8 eps on Amazon.](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27613329/) We just finished it and quite enjoyed it. Which is weird, because there was a lot about it that wasn’t great. A couple of the actors - including 2 of the leads - were pretty clunky, a lot of the situations were strained… But all in all I think the whole was greater than the parts. It helps if you like dance - which we do. It involves 2 ballet companies - 1 in NYC and 1 in Paris - who swap some staff for one season. With a number of main and supporting actors, it is easy to find at least a couple you care about. I wouldn’t say it is GREAT TV, but I thought it well worth the investment of 8 hours. And when it was done, I found myself wishing there was more. ---

I already watched it, so I don’t care about spoilers. But what is the general courtesy? It is rather new. Maybe give it at least a few days before going into too much detail too many eps in? ---

Yeah, I think thats pretty SOP in Cafe’. I got it downloaded. I’ll watch. By the time I do, it should be open spoilers. Then you can get a mod to fix it to your title.
