I was simply blown away by this mini-series. Even if you have no interest in ballet, you'll be intrigued and captivated by the story and performances. Especially Sarah Hay as Claire. Her inner struggle really tugs deeply at the heart strings as she faces an issue that threatens an entire generation of young women. Please don't take my word for it, (as if you would), but watch this series! Parental warning - not for children or the faint of heart; it grapples with some pretty dark issues and approaches sexuality with unflinching realism. Thank you STARZ for bringing this experience to the world. And thank you Sarah for your talent and bravery.

How can this be addicting or whatever ? This is so far from realistic it looks like a parody . If I have to see that dramatic face of Claire Robbins one more time I will scream. This looks like the early movies The movies without sound where everyone is overacting to bring across their emotions GROSS . And let's be honest : Do you really think that dancers can live in the hateful environment ? That a dancer is sold to the highest bidder ? Come on . The only little bit acceptable performance is by Damon Herriman / Romeo And even that role has written Fisher king all over it. Such a bummer to make such a series about a great subject : Ballet

The Series offer much more than dance series. It could been given bad review on the behalf of dances but The show isn't all about ballerinas. It has awesome storyline with great acting talents. The most important thing is to see well-rounded, complicated, outstanding characters with different obsessions. The versions of obsession,passion,love are portrayed with each character and It couldn't have been better than that. Especially Romeo served as prophet or hero adds so many deep points. You can each example of social norms in it. Family, friends,workmates, roommates, siblings ... You can write a deep analyze in each characters. The story contains a whole circle of people living with desire and passion Everyone has crucial parts on this circle. You can see how far can people take that Sacrifice matter. Leaving or staying,fighting or giving up Much more big dilemmas get into your brain and make you question. The lead character is astonishingly brilliant. She has war inside. All these personal clash with beautiful scenes is found rarely. The only problems were not-having more episodes. There are at least 6 stories to tell in this show. From music to scenery It was blessing to watch. Give it a try.

The year was 1995 and Joe Eszterhas, the top of writer of the day for mainstream exploitation films, released (unleashed) his most exploitative script of all time -- Showgirls.At the time, it seemed like a slam dunk. It had something to push everyone's buttons. It was about strippers. It had dancing and sex. It had backstory. And just as additional insurance to guarantee greatness, the casting director deliberately picked the female star of a popular teen sitcom for the leading role -- guaranteeing a "shock" factor as the world watched a sweet teen icon go down the darkside.It should have worked but it didn't. The mass audience, the gestalt, seemed to belatedly develop a conscience and punished the film, presumably, as payback for all the earlier works of of Eszterhas' they enjoyed but probably shouldn't have.A major TV comic talking about the film (which was a flop within weeks of release) said "I haven't seen so many poles abused since WW2."Ironically 20 years later, with TV in full-on stratification and everyone with a video camera offering a new series, the writers of Flesh and Bone have taken the ideas comprising Showgirls and fixed them and repaired them.It is exploitative but does not make you feel guilty.Pretty good TV.
