Our Take

This was possibly one of the most disappointing endings ever! We have a series finale that shows singers standing united against control for the freedom to be themselves. Which would’ve been both a fitting and symbolic finale for a show about singing, but ironically while the message was there, the execution of it didn’t even have that much music for it to feel like an idol show.

Overall the show as a whole was hit & miss with it’s Weird as fuck plot regarding the random internet stuff, but nothing to write home about…
