What I liked

This show found the perfect balance of classic noir, and knowing how to mock it while staying in it. The dialogue is snappy, the cast is both hilarious and very attractive, and the scene transition sequences are genius. The opening sequence, in particular, is so so unique and creative.

What I didn't like

N/A

My overall impression

It is very well cast. Everyone gives 100% and is so committed to the style. Sarah Haworth, Schoen Hodges and Alli Miller are all terrific in their roles, and my god, the costumes! (That shouldn’t have been in the same sentence, but I just remembered how amazing they were as I was typing.) Matt Ritchey has done an excellent job orchestrating quite a large cast and playing to all of their strengths. Also, there is much movement, and it is all purposeful. None of it is extraneous. Ben Schwartz and Matt Ritchey have written a very witty, exciting script and story. I love watching the Cherry Poppins girls do just about anything, but this was a unique light to see them in, and it was great! Go see this show!
