Apparently Vanessa Williams has a part in this. Although it's not listed in her IMDB

Has anyone watched this yet? Doesn’t look great to me but I am a big Sara Bareilles fan, so maybe I will give it a shot.

I've seen Renée Elise Goldsberry in a bunch of things, but never thought to look up her age. My mind was blown to see she is 50 years old. She looks like 15-20 years younger than that and better than everyone on this show.

My wife and I are 3 episodes in and while it's nothing mindblowing, it's a cute funny show. Goldsberry was my reason for watching, I'm a huge fan of hers since Hamilton and Altered Carbon. Woman has some serious talent in everything.

Was on the AV Club site and I see that this show was indeed renewed (if I saw this news before today, I had forgotten about it), yay! Really fun show, and I look forward to watching this in one weekend, or weekly, depending on its release schedule.

This is pretty good in the 30 Rock / Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt vein.

I felt about this show the way I did with UKS - as it went on I was getting more and more tired with it and my interest level dropped.
It's weird that I felt that way about this show as it was only 8 episodes - but it just felt like it's run it's course halfway through.

The members of the late ‘90s girl-group Girls5eva – Dawn, Wickie, Summer, and Gloria – have reunited and recorded a new album, Returnity, so it’s time for the next logical step: a comeback tour. With no plan, tour manager, or venues secured, the ladies pile into a van and hit the great unknown, doing their damnedest to promote their album and get back on top. In the process, Girls5eva will grapple with life on the road, see their relationships tested, play a billionaire’s birthday party, sow their oats, confront parents they believe held them back, cross paths with the biggest pop star on the planet, and question if they really want “the big time” again. Will Girls5eva fast-track their comeback and sell their tour documentary in the process? Or will the road destroy them?
Girls5eva premieres March 14 on Netflix, with Seasons 1 & 2 plus a brand-new Season 3.

Watching season 3 now and I find this show to be such an easy binge. There are some funny bits such as the girls staying at a Fort Worth's Marriott Divorced Dad Suitelets, and the hotel having a vending machine that dispenses pre wrapped birthday presents.
