Great songs and acting but maybe too ambitious

This is based on the first three episodes so my opinion may change as more episodes release.

I am a huge Sara Bareilles fan. I love all her songs, and the Little Voice soundtrack is no exception (I especially love Dear Hope). The storyline is enjoyable, and it's great to see diversity in not only the cast but the topics discussed in each episode.

Having new songs in each episode is a great idea! The use of music and lyrics is a dimension that adds much more color into the key themes and topics.

The mini plots shed light on a wide variety of issues, but the range of topics might be a bit ambitious for a 30 min tv show. They can sometimes feel a bit rushed or sometimes missing out on opportunities to juxtapose song lyrics/musicality with key scenes and moments in Bess' life.

Overall, I like the show and love the music and cast. The music really keeps the series together.

score 7/10
