8 eps on Amazon.

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.
