The Starz series turned into a sleeper success after it was canceled 13 years ago. Now, against all odds, the band is back together.
The show accurately and hilariously captured the peculiar banality of trying to make it in showbiz. It’s easy to correlate that experience to any creative field, givinga slightly broader appeal. And it provided a satirical but sharp analysis of the gig economy, a timely issue after a nationwide recession in 2008. Unfortunately, none of the deadpan wit managed to generate mainstream appeal on a platform like Starz, which hadn’t found a content sweet spot yet.
’s floundering characters discovered a niche fandom over time that could resonate with their defeatist attitude. Let me explain. As the show begins, Henry Pollard gives up on his acting goals after multiple rejections. Comedian Casey Klein continually struggles for her big break. No one’s interested in Roman DeBeers’ sci-fi screenwriting. Kyle Bradway is an overconfident musician and aspiring star. Constance Carmell starts off as an ex-actor. Lydia Dunfree wishes for fame for her teen daughter.
