    After the novelty of the blind auditions, it turns into a grindingly dull, by-numbers talent contest. .... AJ McLean, of Backstreet Boys fame, hosts the show competently. At the beginning, he dedicated the series to Liam Payne and his family. Payne doesn’t appear until episode seven.

    As a reality show, it is fine, watchable, well-crafted, leaving sufficient cliffhangers to keep you pressing play, though its first four episodes do begin to feel a little drawn-out and repetitive.
