Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist, Season 1

I enjoy a wide variety of music and appreciate musical numbers like La La Land, but I know it is uncommon to find musical expression done well in a scripted TV show. I cautiously watched the first episode and was happily blown away. This show does it well, and it goes even further - the storyline really matters, and each song captures a given scenario in a deeply meaningful and completely charming way. This is my now my favorite show - I look forward to each new episode!

I just started watching the show today and I’ve binged almost all of the episodes that have aired so far. I love it!! It is so sweet and creative and I love the characters. I’m really hoping this show will end up being on for a while

My playlist is more interesting than these songs. I predict that this show won’t last a season, at least two.

2 episodes in, I am looking forward to more. Music and dance scenes make it like a fun musical, with the twist of trying to figure out what the songs mean. At first, I thought it would be like ‘What Women Want’ (Mel Gibson). Happy to say it has a different energy. more like ‘Wings of Desire’ (Peter Falk), with more pop & positive energy.. This show - with good acting and decent story lines, is fun and thoughtful, and that makes good TV. It explores the concept of hearing what people think, getting a glimpse about lives that are full of different energies .... happy and sad, inspiring and frustrating, and how to respond to the different circumstances. May the writers and choreographers build even more positive energy and develop interesting, complex characters!

This show is such a breath of fresh air in a time where we’re starting to get a lot of television reboots and it works through one of the main mediums we all can connect through: music. It’s got a plot that’s very interesting that I’ve never seen before bolstered by a super eclectic mix of music, along with plenty of heart and comedy to carry it through. Jane Levy is perfect as Zoey and the rest of the cast is just as amazing. I can’t wait to see where the rest of the season takes us.
