    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 »
