Disclaimer: I was initially planning on reviewing
Tiny Pretty Things episode by episode (and you can find the recap of the premiere right here), but the, uh, quality being what it was, I can t quite face writing ten reviews of this. So this post will serve as a combined review of the remainder of the first season.
Between watching the premiere and following with the rest of the show, I gave the first book
Tiny Pretty Things is based on a quick perusal and it finally jogged my memory in that I
can remember reading it, but if I can give the show one compliment it s that it s at least more.lively than the first book is. (I can t speak for the sequels, I didn t get that far)
Ballet? Drama? Highschool setting? Needless to say, as soon as I heard the blurb for
Tiny Pretty Things, I was in. Shows focusing on ballet exist, of course, but there are too few of them (in my humble, and ballet-aficionado, opinion), so I m never one to turn down a new version of this high-stakes setting. From afar, this show seems like it s halfway between the very cute, and mostly wholesome
Dance Academy and the grittier
Flesh and Bone (loved both, but the tones are very different). Full disclosure: I read the first book a long while ago and don t remember much about it, so I m pretty much going in blind. Without further ado, let s dig into the premiere!
