Flesh and Bone (Starz)
This seems very solid to me. One of my favorite up-and-coming directors, David Michôd (Animal Kingdom, The Rover), made the pilot, which is a bonus. I will watch.
I believe I remember reading every episode will be available on demand after the November 8th premiere, but I am not sure if this is still true.

Re: Flesh and Bone (Starz)
I was under the impression it has premiered a long time ago. Have been hearing about this forever.

Re: Flesh and Bone (Starz)
I watched the first two episodes this morning. Definitely intrigued.
I just finished all 8 episodes and honestly I liked it quite a bit to my surprise. I didn't think it would appeal to me at all, but after that second episode I was hooked. Ben Daniels is fantastic and hilarious as the instructor and is easily the best character in the show. The lead girl is cute and convincing in the role, but it does seem like she doesn't do much else except mope around the entire time, however I thought the relationship she had with her brother was interesting and I definitely didn't expect it to get resolved the way it did. I'd watch a Season 2 eventhough I don't see much else they can do with this show.

I watched the first three episodes tonight. Love it. Frightening, riveting, sexy, perfectly soapy.

Finished tonight. It was solid. I think it could have gone some interesting places if it got a second season but the ending worked as well. Though by the end I really started sympathizing a lot more with the brother than Sarah. She was so manipulative.

Re: Flesh and Bone (Starz)
I absolutely loved this. Definitely one of my favorite television seasons of the year. The final episode, including the commissioned-for-the-series ballet, is hypnotic and highly suspenseful.
Sarah Hay is marvelous throughout. In fact, every female co-star, most of them dancers acting for the first time, did an amazing job.
It is a shame there is not going to be a second season. I would love to see where the characters go next. However, regarded as a miniseries or an eight-part film, the loose ends (such as how Claire will react to her brother's death) are not unsatisfying, but rather haunting and provocative.
