GreaseRiseOfThePinkLadies on Paramount+ is a lot of things, but it’s unfortunately not worth being hopelessly devoted to. Review:
that I dressed up like a Pink Lady for Halloween. I remember walking into my elementary school with my tiny pink jacket on my shoulders and cat-eye sunglasses on top of my head, feeling like the coolest kid in school.
The musical numbers within the series are fun, but the style of music leans much closer to modern Broadway pop than anything resembling songs heard in eitheror the era at large, making it stand out both in its “franchise” and amongst other ‘50s-lampooning musicals. Though, perhaps the most egregious wayengages with the original film is in its most blatant connection: Jane is Frenchy’s older sister.
Maybe worst of all is that so much of this series also just feels too safe and similar to other teen dramas, hitting the same beats we have seen time and time again. One of the Pink Ladies spends a majority of these first five episodes available for review longing for a previous relationship with a teacher, one that she desperately wants back. It’s a tired storyline that we have seen in far too many teen dramas, andoffers nothing new to the conversation that those series haven’t already .
