Marie Morgan This is another series by Starz that, at first, appears like it would be great. But instead of plot, it's just sex. Yes, I know people have sex - but is it really 80% of their story? What a waste of possibilities.

karinlbuckley The show centers around a new addition to the ballet company, Claire, who appears out of nowhere and takes the company by storm. Despite having ZERO personality, we are supposed to believe that the other characters find her fascinating. I. Don't. Get. It. She is as engaging as last week's newspaper.Her "love" interest is in awe of her depth after she manages a few sentences about her love of "The Velveteen Rabbit." Gag. So cliché. She also sleeps covered in books, but I find it difficult to believe this character has ever opened a book, let alone read one.The other dancers in the cast are so much more interesting, it makes Claire even more noticeably dull.

SnoopyStyle Claire Robbins is a 21 year old dancer escaping her troubled Pittsburg family and going to NYC to audition for the American Ballet Company. The bombastic artistic director Paul Grayson hires her despite her seemingly missing 3 years after being a new star in the Pittsburg Ballet. She is sent to room with her competition Mia Bialy who is slowly deteriorating physically. Romeo is the homeless guy outside of their apartment. Daphne Kensington is a fellow dancer who moonlights at a strip club. Kiira is the Prima refusing to retire despite a debilitating injury. Grayson wants to create a new ballet with Claire as his new star. However, her past follows her in the form of her obsessed former Marine brother.This has the dark, competitive, ugly nature of New York city ballet. Claire's dark background is uniquely different but the short dog-eat-dog careers of these dancers are all too real. The girls are mostly non-acting dancers. Their physicality really sells the realism and they prove that they're pretty good actors, too. Emily Tyra especially does some compelling character work. Veteran actor Ben Daniels does some amazing work. It's a limited series. I don't know if it got prematurely canceled but it ends in a terrific spot.

Cyndy08080 The series deserves a standing ovation, it's a masterpiece.Each episode got better and better, the final episode was breathtaking. It's a dark, disturbing story on all fronts, but so compelling. The acting is very good, the characters are fully developed - faults and all. The score is amazing, the sets are beautiful and it's filmed in such a way that you feel you are there watching. I didn't expect the show to be so captivating, and it actually took a couple of episodes before I felt invested in the series, but each episode built upon the prior, and the series will drawn you in. While watching the final episode, I began to understand the story itself was like a ballet performance - beautifully executed in a tragic sort of way. The final ballet is amazing, and worth watching the entire series just for that.It seemed some critics panned the series - but in my opinion, it's a masterpiece - the best of the best. If you liked Black Swan, Fame, Flashdance or other similar themed movies, I think you'll find Flesh & Bone as amazing and enjoyable as I did.
