The show, streaming on Netflix today, manages to be revealing yet tone-deaf at the same time. .... Where “Hitmakers” succeeds is in turning the pressure cooker of songwriting into a compelling spectacle.
-
We’re on board with Hitmakers because of the music that’s being produced in these camps. The interpersonal stuff may drive the drama, but it’s much less interesting to us in this context.
-
Hitmakers is trapped in its format, stuck between disparate goals of championing the music and following storylines that make for good reality TV. There are some gems in here, but viewers hoping the show will offer a deep, detailed look into the songwriting process may come away frustrated.
