Episode Guide
If you don’t come back irresponsible, we were love. I’m going to survive. I’m not that girl we always lived together.
So what’s the story behind these musicals that are suddenly making a comeback? Well, it all started with Shrek. The ogre from the movie was so popular that he inspired a number of songs and an entire album of them. And, as you can imagine, they were all pretty terrible. But people still loved them. So much so, in fact, that they started being rewritten and turned into musicals. Now, there are a lot of different types of musicals out there – some are better than others. But we’ve narrowed it down to three that have been really successful this year: La La Land, In The Heights and Cats. And we think they’re all worth your time and attention!
Apple’s new show, Schmigadoon, is a charmingly simple effort that tells a simple story in a relatively compelling way. ..
Once Upon a Time… Happily Never After is a new show that combines the formula of Spanish soap opera with a gloss of American happiness. The show has had mixed success so far. ..
The small town of Lovejoy, Oregon is in a bind. A witch has cursed the town so that no one can fall in love again. The only way to break the curse is for someone to find and bring the witch to justice. However, no one in Lovejoy knows how to do this, and the town is slowly dying out. ..
The conflict in this story centers around the relationship between Princess Soledad and fisherman Diego. Diego is a good man who loves his princess very much, but he is separated from her because of a curse that was put into place by the blue dragon. To break the curse, Diego must free the dragon during a pink moon. Princess Soledad has shown true love for Diego and she wants him to be able to be together again. She will also help him break the curse in order to make his life easier.
Two tourists stumble upon the reincarnated forms of Diego and Soledad, who have been trying to break the spell that has been keeping them trapped in their previous lives for years. The tourists threaten to upend everything and see the plan come tumbling down, but true love prevails. ..
The story is about a young couple who are trying to make the best of their broken relationship and find happiness together. However, they quickly realize that they’re not the only ones with problems – their friends and family are just as unhappy. They must find a way to make them all happy before it’s too late.
But if you’re looking for something more than that, then you may not find it here. The show is light and fluffy, but it’s not particularly thought-provoking or deep.
This show leans hard into its soap opera vibes, so expect something that falls tonally between Jane the Virgin and Schmigadoon; a humorous romcom that’s as predictable as it is enjoyable. This is certainly not going to win any awards and the cheap set design and rustic feel will undoubtedly put many people off from sticking with this to the end. ..
The ending of the series is a bit of a letdown. It feels like it was tacked on, rather than something that was planned from the beginning. Additionally, it’s disappointing because it feels like this twist could have been more impactful if it had been revealed earlier in the series. ..
Despite that though, if you’re in the mood for a soapy guilty pleasure with plenty of drama, romance and fairytale nods, you’ll likely have a good time with Happily Never After. Just don’t go in expecting anything groundbreaking.
