A near-perfect pilot kicks off this behind-the-scenes look at the famed male stripping empire
Does this mostly happen in a series of montages that feature A-plus music choices that help move along what would otherwise be, maybe, too slow of a story? Perhaps, but the glittering, disco-infused world Shakman conjures here is truly infectious.Welcome To Chippendales
Because I’m going to call it right now: The more we watch the stoic Steve try to become the successful “American businessman” he’s always wanted to be, the more we’ll find that such a dream comes at a high cost. For loneliness and ambition make for dangerous bedfellows. Here’s where Paul’s demise serves as a warning prologue for what’s to come. Moreover, that this story is rooted in the journey of an immigrant and that of a gay man makes the “Chippendales” saga all the more fascinating.
With songs by ABBA, the Village People, Blondie and Donna Summer, I am going to need Hulu to curate for us a rocking disco playlist that assembles all the fab needle drops the series is gifting us.
