victor m @Flik619 1d The bits about the band I really enjoyed like meeting the boys and seeing what they were going through but Simon’s private life I just sped through. It feels odd to say but the wife had a much bigger part than she needed. See more Jack @Santamonicabased 4d First, I should say that I don't think these singing shows work in the Netflix format. The fact that the winners have already been picked by the time the show drops and you can watch all the episodes eliminates the fun and the stakes of the network live shows. That being said, this show is really lame and has a confused concept. Is it a bts look at Simon's life, or is it another singing competition show? The stuff with Simon and is partner feels really fake and staged, and his partner, Lauren, is a terrible actress. In a nutshell, the show presents the idea that Simon is going through an existential crisis and worries that he doesn't still have the Midas touch. There are really no stakes for him in the show -- he's richer than God -- other than his proclamations that he may fail - but the contestants aren't given enough time to really show their stuff. I feel bad for the kids who are so hopeful and talented. The show screwed them. See more Michael O @MO2167 Jan 2 Enjoyed seeing the evolution of this process. I am a fan of Simon so watching him do what he has done in the past and seeing it in this manner was very interesting. I was engaged from start to finish and look forward to seeing what happens as a result of this project. See more Julie M @JulieKMillard Dec 27 I loved watching this. Simon Cowell is brilliant. It would have been much better without Lauren, his son’s mother. She took away from the show and was very negative and critical of Simon. Why would you discredit him before the world? She was rude and came across jealous of his time and passion for the industry. See more Andreja H @Annie998 Dec 25 Excellent documentary about making a band! See more Paul D @REDCAT Dec 23 The major issue with the show is, not one live performance in front of a live, real life audience. Considering How many pubs, and open air spaces are in the U K, this suprised me. Simon missed the boat on this one. It's a band and bands play live. The voices of these kids all sound auto tuned and I wasn't buying it.The name of the band was just terrible( they themselves came up with the passive, boring and no imagination name) and the whole tone of show came off as creepy.
