Season 1 Review:
Although the series could benefit from taking a few more risks, “Étoile” still feels bolder and fresher than almost any other show released this year. From its vibrant opening credits to its meticulously crafted costume design, the series feels tailor-made to be everyone’s new obsession.

Season 1 Review:
The dialogue is, as always, quicker than a chaîné turn; the takes are long and lush (with all eight episodes directed by the Emmy-winning duo, whose love of the master shot emphatically endures); and the settings and costuming are unsurprisingly sumptuous, especially in Paris. .... However, some of the more dance-focused cast members fail to pop against their fellow actors.

Season 1 Review:
Highly enjoyable. .... The dancers are good, naturally, even if the dances can sometimes feel less exciting than we’re meant to find them. More interesting is the placing of bodies in space when nobody’s dancing, lending a choreographic energy to ordinary conversations.

Season 1 Review:
"Etoile" (which means "star" in French) wants to be more high-brow than it should. The dances are beautiful, but the characters shouldn't have to walk in others' toe shoes. We've seen the petulance, the bickering, the histrionics before. .... And the cast? It's too large for something that's already unwieldy. Eliminating the side stories (did we need Jack's sister in this?) could put the focus where it needs to be: creating art in a bankrupt society.
