It's a show about a group of teens who realize their society isn't what it seems to be and end up leading a societal revolution through music, dance and art. I just finished the 1st season and it left me wanting more! I'm not guaranteeing that you'll love it but you can't based your opinion on reviews of people who haven't even watched the whole thing and have only seen the LESS THAN 2 MINUTES LONG trailer or the bad first episode. I thought it was gonna be a knock off version Hunger Games, Dance Dance Revolution style but give it at least 3 episodes and you'll see the potential. Yes, it had a terrible trailer and a bad first episode but those things don't truly represent the quality of the show! Don't get me wrong, I thought it was complete crap in the beginning too. This show is getting way too much hate for something so new. I *really* hope it gets picked up for a second season!!! Overall, it's a show that can really suck you in within an episode or two-I binged the whole thing in three nights. If you're going to oppress a people, why on earth would you encourage them to know how to kill people and to be capable of doing so? Meanwhile, art performance can certainly be used to distract, shift focus, control a narrative without making your populace combat-ready. If you continue the show, you'll see that it absolutely makes sense to elevate dance/song/music to such heights-I mean, it always struck me a bit odd that in Hunger Games, it was essential to be combat trained and ready to participate/succeed in the games. To address some of the complaints I've seen here: The singers are pretty good, the actor who plays Bodhi is a great performer, and the dancers are incredible. The 1984-esque Authority environment in New Babyl sets a dark tone that, in some ways, is distressingly similar to our current world, all in the guise of a Utopian society. I'm really eager for Season 2! It took a little bit for the show to find it's footing, but it's very enjoyable.
