Season 1 Review:
The musical numbers are the best part of Star, and all three of the young leads seem to have singing talent as well as fresh faces. ... The negative to that is that none of the three is much of an actress, and their weak performances can't give the show the weight or momentum it needs. Awkward dialogue and cliched plots are additional problems.

Season 1 Review:
If Daniels had put more emphasis on the polish of his artifice and gave the show’s aesthetic the same bombast that it’s tawdry, openly cheesy dialogue gives the story, Star might have proven to be a subversive, infuriated series. It’s overall look, however, is more chintzy than anything else, wrecked with soft focus and lazy, unconvincing you-are-there camerawork.

Season 1 Review:
It lacks any character as vital and vivid as Taraji P. Henson’s Cookie. The dialogue is overwrought, and frequently tells us the very things we’re seeing on screen. The trio of aspiring stars are plucky, but they’re not very interesting, and neither is the music they sing.

Season 1 Review:
Rather than honestly represent the storyline’s treacherous scenarios--which include parental, drug, and alcohol abuse, as well as more outrageous extremes like murder--Daniels’ drama exploits the perilous conditions it portrays, grounding its fantasy in a false reality.

I think it's a fun show with great storyline and interesting topics, some of the songs are boring though
