Season 1 Review: Breslin and Prattes are more or less adequate in the pivotal lead roles, but certainly no match for the smoldering chemistry that Swayze and Grey displayed both on and off the dance floor. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Between the bad lip-syncing, the inexplicable addition of musical numbers, and the pale imitation of classic moments from the original film, it just doesn’t work. Read full review

Season 1 Review: A real musical deploys its songs organically; here they tend to interrupt rather than enhance. ... [A] sterile imitation. Read full review

Season 1 Review: In summary, the new Dirty Dancing is disappointing and a bit all over the place. But its biggest sin is that it’s bloated and boring. Read full review
