This is a 2015 American television miniseries created by Moira Walley-Beckett. It is a 482-minute-long 8-episode breathtaking, character-driven and stunningly captivating drama. If you're interested in the dark side of the entertaining business, and ballet in particular, you should view this mesmerizing drama. The film focuses on Claire, who has a distinctly troubled, emotionally wounded and sexually damaged past. The storyline is so disgusting that you might stop viewing halfway through as I almost did. However, I simply care about Claire and want to know what will happen to her in the end. Paul Grayson, an Artistic Director of the American Ballet Company, is such a bullshit guy that you would love to hate. Bryan Robbins, Claire's brother and a former Marine, is a devil. Romeo, a homeless man who lives under Claire's building, is a mysterious and interesting guy with a peculiar sense of feeling the future and the mind. Sergei, an owner of shadowy pole-dancing and lap-dancing club, is a ballet-enthusiast who understands Claire's talent but who operates a sex-slave ring on the side. In a nutshell, it is a disgustingly fascinating story. At least you should be able to enjoy modern ballet and how it is created.
