Flesh and Bone, Season 1
Created by Moira Walley-Beckett
Aired Sundays at 8 pm Et on Starz
Over the past few years, Starz has made its mark on the tv landscape with numerous shows, from Spartacus to Party Down. Their latest series, from Breaking Bad writer Moira Walley-Beckett, delves into the world of ballet dancing. Titled Flesh and Bone, the miniseries explores the world from the perspective of the people associated with the American Ballet Company, and while there are some strong ideas and themes presented, the series unfortunately fails to develop them effectively.
The season’s focus is on power and control, most notably the type that is exerted over women by men. The effects that control has over different characters is by far the most compelling aspect of the season, starting from Claire’s attempts to get out of the control of the men surrounding her. This begins with the...

“A little pain is a fact of this life. To feel it is a choice. I choose no.”
Paul said it way back in the premiere: a ballerina’s job is to make the arduous look effortless. Full Dress takes that thought and runs with it, giving us a full hour of people trying desperately to cover up flaws, faults, and mistakes. Some of it, like Jessica’s desperate quest to cover up her embezzlement, is a nerve-fraying good time. The rest is yet another hour that hammers its theme home at the cost of any sort of sense of momentum. There’s a compelling idea for an episode buried in the mess, a sort of bloody, desperate rush to the finish line cemented by a deal with the devil, but the series has invested so little time in building up the tension of the impending ballet, in connecting the characters to one another,...

“‘There is no ‘there’ there.’”
Reconnaissance, the third of Flesh and Bone‘s eight episodes, is as preoccupied with spying, interrogation, and information as its title suggests. The hour of inquest and mystery has its ups and downs, but the strange Hitchockian climax to which it builds is worth the bumpy ride. The dizzying sprint down the apartment building’s staircase, the heart-stopping cut from Bryan sleeping on the couch to Bryan sleeping on the floor beside Claire’s bed, Claire’s fingernails digging into the palm of her hand as blood wells up, Romeo as a stand-in for L. B. Jefferies powerlessly watching horror unfold; it’s a climax given weight by the dull, defeated hopelessness with which Claire makes up the couch and gets Bryan a sandwich. Real horror lives in the mundane, not the fantastical.
The camera remains one of Flesh and Bone‘s strongest players, especially...

“It’s no big deal. I lost a toenail.”
The smeared boundary line between art and obsession has been rich storytelling fodder since long before Darren Aronofsky’s bloated Black Swan - perhaps the most obvious point of comparison for Flesh and Bone - plié-d joylessly into movie theaters. A new eight-episode Starz miniseries from Breaking Bad veteran Moira Walley-Beckett(writer of Ozymandias, maybe the most viciously tense hour of television in recent memory), Flesh and Bone is a rotten toenail hidden in a sylph-like pointe shoe. The premiere, Bulling Through, digs into wide-eyed and not-so-innocent runaway Claire Robins’ (Sarah Hay) first few days at the American Ballet Company, an exclusive performing academy at the heart of and yet austerely apart from a towering and indifferent vision of New York City.
Each of the series’ eight episodes is named after a piece of military jargon or parlance, heightening the impression that every room,...

All eight episodes were provided prior to broadcast.
Yes, Starz’s Flesh and Bone is set within the high-stakes, higher-anxiety world of competitive ballet. No, that does not make it Black Swan: The Series. Hailing from Breaking Bad writer Moira Walley-Beckett (who penned that show’s finest hour, “Ozymandias”), the eight-episode limited series is unmistakably its own kind of creature, a “dark and gritty” drama-with-a-capital-d punctuated by moments of over-the-top camp and truly transcendent dance.
Unfortunately, it’s also a show with a debilitating identity crisis, not so much toeing the line between oppressive darkness and lurid melodrama as fluctuating between the two without a lick of the grace its fleet-footed subjects so innately possess. In its premise lies tremendous potential – for a serious drama about the relationship between pain and beauty, the sacrifices made in the pursuit of perfection, and the nightmarish underbelly of a glamorous industry.

Billed as a limited series, Flesh and Bone will revolve around an aspiring ballerina in New York City, and will consist of eight episodes, with the cast being filled out by 22 professional ballet dancers. The show’s synopsis is as follows.
