Smash episode paragraphs

Introductory

     Smash is a television drama about a group of Broadway stage actors. It is largely musical in theme. The episode viewed, titled "Bombshell", featured believable characters and very good musical elements. It was balanced in content; not too mature yet not too watered down and juvenile. It also had great songs and audio. The setting and costumes were also excellent. Lastly, the ending of the episode was very well-written. While the show did a decent job at maintaining the attention of the audience, it was also slowly paced. It took a while for the show to get interesting and even then may not hold the interest of people who dislike musicals or theater productions. It also tended to rely too heavily on the drama element but was not always able to deliver. This was occasionally due to the characters not being entirely believable.

Conclusion

     While Bombshell was interesting and fairly well-written, it failed to stun and leave amazed. The good setting and costume design as well as the great use of songs could not pull it out of its niche demographic. Though it had a good balance and a strong ending, it suffered from slow pacing and not entirely-believable characters.
