    “Glamorous” nails the brief: a winning and earnest coming-of-age story furnished with silly gags that speak to its specific audience.

    This delightfully frothy show earns its shade.

    Showrunner Jordon Nardino’s chipper but not just skin-deep show gives singer/YouTube sensation Miss Benny and Cattrall juicy roles to sink their teeth into, but all the characters are written and played well.

    While Glamorous has a pretty standard fish out of water story at its core, Miss Benny’s lead performance is so magnetic that they command a viewer’s attention.

    Glamorous is superficially similar [to "Ugly Betty"], and there are some likeable supporting characters. But the star of Ugly Betty was adorable. Marco is anything but.

    Glamorous, which talks a big game about bravery and ambition but defaults to safe and predictable choices at nearly every turn. In the end, its shallowness dooms Glamorous to forgo the one thing Marco spends the season looking for: an authentic sense of self.

    Glamorous is largely a bust. It is derivative, taking bits from Glee, Gossip Girl, The Devil Wears Prada, A Star Is Born and every wish-fulfilment fantasy in between.

Not trying to be anything it's not, it's simply a fun summer show for anyone who likes Ugly Betty, The Bold Type and The Devil Wears Prada. It's definitely not serious nor does it take itself too seriously. A perfect blend of sincere moments, pop culture references and some high camp sprinkled in.… Full Review »
