Title: Hollywood
Review: Need a little break from all the intensity? Surprisingly complex show, despite the formulaic story lines, about a group of people trying to make it Hollywood during the repressive 50s. Racism, Sexism, and general inequality are addressed throughout. The scenes are shot in very stylized manner, but the overall effect is quite good. Lupone is magnificent and Rob Reiner has wonderful auxiliary role. The cast is really quite good. Even has a Hollywood ending. One season will be it. Thee thumbs up.
