I love this show. Silly, funny heartfelt. It is hard to watch this show without a huge smile on your face. Just enjoy it.

ZEP takes everything I loved about _Glee_ and _Smash_ and pulls those things into areas that resonate with me (I lost my father--in an emotional sense--years ago when he left the family for someone else. I, like Zoey, am a clumsy nerdy/whip-smart woman who can barely handle my own emotions and relationships let alone other peoples and who is also a little bit too open about sharing with others and it often gets me into trouble. ZEP also hits the harder human issues without preaching, and it's rare to find a show that can touch on issues without trying to tell its audience what to do or trying to influence them or guilt us into reaction. It doesn't hurt that the ZoeyXMax relationship is the kind I've dreamed of all my life and wish I had. I honestly hate the rating on this show isn't higher because this is a show that deserves many, many seasons (at least as many as Glee or more). Expand

generally a decent show. Love the musical aspect of it and the drama with her father's declining health along with it's emotional effects. however, the show is marred by bad writing.

Love the musical aspect of it and the drama with her father's declining health along with it's emotional effects. however, the show is marred by bad writing. Writing that makes Zoey(the shows protagonist) into the antagonist. slight spoilers below


All season she's crushing on Simon, only to kiss Max towards the end. A man that she states time and time again is only a friend. this writing makes her come across as just another self absorbed youngster who should know better while at the same time trying to paint her as emotionally wise due to her 'ability'. It's conflicting and feels like a love triangle has just been shoed in for ratings. the only other annoying aspect is the 'gender fluid' nonsense in one episode. luckily it is only covered in one episode and done in a tasteful way so it's not too in your face. In short, worth a watch. nowhere near as good as glee.

I wasn't sure about this one, but I'm thoroughly enjoying it! Funny, sensitive, uplifting, and entertaining!

Funny, sensitive, uplifting, and entertaining! Zoey, a down to earth, super smart computer coder, miraculously begins to hear people's innermost thoughts through popular songs. Friends, family, co-workers and even strangers begin expressing their private feelings by bursting out in song (and sometimes dance.) which only Zoey can hear/see. Not sure what to do with this at first, Zoey consults her musical enthusiast neighbor Mo, who acts as a sounding board and helps advise Zoey as she navigates her new gift and how she can use it to bring harmony to the lives of others. The musical numbers are perfectly placed (not over the top) and fun to sing along with. The cast is wonderful with a lot of well-known actors and Jane Levy, who plays Zoey, is adorable. The show has already thoughtfully touched on unrequited love, caring for a "disabled" parent/spouse (locked-in syndrome), gender fluidity, suicide, divorce, work ethics, etc. This might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I'm truly loving this quirky, unique, and entertaining show that both makes you laugh and moves your heart. Worth checking out, In My Humble Opinion! Expand

Whether it has the rom-com stereotypes and silliness, this show came at the exact time to make us laugh, and cry and how to process the lost of someone we love. The show is the post-"Glee" and "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend", and should we adore it?Whether it has the rom-com stereotypes and silliness, this show came at the exact time to make us laugh, and cry and how to process the lost of someone we love.

The way it is written allows you to truly get to know each character, and have you emotionally attached to each one. The emotion in each and every song will have your whole family silent, taking in the emotions the character is spilling out. Great show for the family to watch all together. Great show to cry to because of its real life scenarios. It has real life problems and also a pretty diverse cast that makes all watchers feel included. This show is all around great, from Zoey's love triangle, to her sick dad, and her enthusiastic friend Mo. Highly recommend watching. Expand

We need something light with some singing right now. The show has its faults but I just can’t resist the great cast and some great dancing.

Where the show struggles is in it's attempts at drama. The characters aren't really deep enough to make the drama seem unforced. They make Jane Leevy's character the most shallow of all - she is more like an angsty teenager than anything else. The show is really like an excuse to perform the songs, and I've been ok with it. But Ep 6 of Season 2 killed it. I get Hollywood's need to propagandize, but Simon's pouting over his hardship about having a great job in a tech company without being a tech and Zoey's apologizing for her whiteness took it too far for me. I'm done. I'll have to get my music fix from Spotify. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist was easily NBC's best show in years. Throughout the show Zoey (our main character) goes through a lot including losing her dad & more. Easily was one of the last good shows on broadcast TV. Super sad it was cancelled Expand
