Étoile Season 1 Review
‘Étoile’ Season 1 Sees Amy Sherman-Palladino Back in a Dancing Mode. The new Prime Video series, also overseen by fellow ‘Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’ creator Dan Palladino, focuses on ballet companies in New York and Paris. Landing on Prime Video with all eight episodes of its first season, ‘Étoile’ is the latest series from Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino, responsible for shows such as ‘Gilmore Girls’ and ‘The Marvelous Mrs.
Maisel.’ Yet it shares more in common with one of their lesser known projects, ‘Bunheads,’ which starred Sutton Foster as a Las Vegas showgirl who marries someone on a whim and ends up in their small home town, working with her mother-in-law at a ballet school. In ‘Étoile’s case, however, the setting is much grander, the stakes are higher and with a two-season order, its fate is much less dramatic.
