    It's hilarious that they got an Egyptian actor who doesn't look remotely Indian (Abubakr Ali) to play an Indian character (Raj Patel). Couldn't they just have made his character Egyptian instead of Indian? Nonetheless, this is an entertaining show.

    Katy Keene is one of my top 5 favorite new shows of 2020 and one of my favorite shows of all time. This show is a nice change of direction compared to the other Archie Comics shows Riverdale and Chilling Adventures with Sabrina but I still think it is the weakest of the 3 so far. The acting was excellent especically from Jonny Beauchamp, Ashleigh Murray, Lucy Hale, Katherine LaNasa, LukeKaty Keene is one of my top 5 favorite new shows of 2020 and one of my favorite shows of all time. This show is a nice change of direction compared to the other Archie Comics shows Riverdale and Chilling Adventures with Sabrina but I still think it is the weakest of the 3 so far. The acting was excellent especically from Jonny Beauchamp, Ashleigh Murray, Lucy Hale, Katherine LaNasa, Luke Cook, Bernadette Peters, Zane Holtz, Daphne Rubin-Vega, and Julia Chan. The costumes were phenomenal and beautiful especially on Lucy Hale, Jonny Beauchamp, Katherine LaNasa, and all of the costumes created by characters Katy Keene and Guy LaMontagne. The makeup and hairstyling was outstanding especially on Johny Beauchamp, Ashleigh Murray, and Lucy Hale. The music was great too, I really liked the musical numbers. This was a pretty great first season. Expand

    Katy Keene lasciviously rolls around in every threadbare cliché of showbiz melodrama and then some.

    There aren’t enough shows on network television right now that are as aspirational as this one is, and Hale’s magnetic performance as Katy will keep you watching.

    Charming yet slight . ... Every other character is just too practically perfect in every way, hardscrabbling occasional setbacks with bright-eyed radiance because friendship conquers all.
