    In my opinion, this show isn't much about ballet but about mental illness. Almost every character on this show is deeply disturbed. But unfortunately, it's not like you could relate to them. Instead, it's almost unbearable to watch these people who behave unbelievably destructive and ruthless.

    This series is a mixed bag--compelling in some ways, repellant in others. Production values are quite good, and I enjoyed the acting on the whole. What I found galling was the **** displayed by a number of dancers toward each other--to the point of being unrealistic (surely!). But what I found especially off-putting was the ballet company's artistic director, Paul Grayson. I'm gladThis series is a mixed bag--compelling in some ways, repellant in others.

    As a drama, Flesh and Bone is compelling and ripe for binge-watching.

    Unfortunately the end result is a cast of supporting characters that fall flat without the proper development, and a lead that never quite opens up to the audience.

    As Flesh and Bone unfolds, though, the story gets darker and more warped, not just for self-destructive Claire but also for the rest of the troupe.... All [of] this is frequently hard to watch, but also impossibly addictive.
