THE SHORT VERDICT:
When Show fires on all cylinders, it feels like the perfect storm of everything I could want from a show.
Not only is the romance spine-tingling, swoony and meaningful, there’s also a wonderfully grounded theme of partnership, family, and belonging.
At its not-so-best, Show is messier, more rushed, and occasionally stretches logic in order to reach its emotional or narrative destinations. I didn’t like that so much.
That said, Show manages to retain enough of its original magic and warmth, that I still came away thinking that it was worthwhile.
