Found by accident and gave it a spin. Sure, there is a soap opera vibe but that is a feature, not a bug. The point was to reveal a ruthless industry, which in turn requires ruthless characters. Starts slow and builds nicely. The performances were excellent all around. Yes, some actors were chewing the scenery, but that's exactly how it was written. Standouts were Miah Madden, who, after this performance, can say goodbye to her Disneyesque persona and go for the grit. And Emma Booth gets her best scenes towards the end of the series but nonetheless haunts the entire run with her sheer physical presence and hand-grenade temperament. Ironically, just like the underlying story, in real life the studio could have promoted this better. ((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer."
