Amy Sherman-Palladino’s ‘Étoile’ Ballet Series Review: A Disappointing Performance

“Is he… coming back?” Fans of Amy Sherman-Palladino may be wondering the same thing after watching her new series, Étoile. The show, which is a departure from her usual hit series like Gilmore Girls and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, follows the story of two ballet companies in New York and Paris. These companies decide to trade their most talented stars in a last-ditch effort to breathe new life into their fading art form.

Étoile has been described as aimless and falling flat by critics. While Sherman-Palladino’s signature wit and charm are present in the series, it seems to lack the spark that made her previous shows so beloved.

Despite the mixed reviews, fans of ballet and Sherman-Palladino’s work may still find something to enjoy in Étoile. The series offers a unique look into the world of ballet and the lengths that artists will go to in order to keep their art form alive.

While Étoile may not be a hit on the level of Gilmore Girls or The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, it still offers a glimpse into Sherman-Palladino’s creative mind and her ability to tell engaging stories. So, if you’re a fan of dance, drama, and a touch of comedy, give Étoile a watch and decide for yourself if it’s worth a standing ovation.
