Dancing on the Edge • Season 1 Ratings & Reviews

Sean Axmaker
The mini-series appears at times to be a period murder mystery but Poliakoff defies the conventions to focus on character drama ...
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
An exquisitely mounted miniseries about the interplay between a black jazz band and the upper crust of English society in the 1930s.
AARP Movies for Grownups
Austin O'Connor
It's the rare TV series that's a feast for the ears.
AV Club
Phil Dyess-Nugent
This show doesn't dance - on the edge, or anywhere else. Instead, it lumbers straight into the tar pit.
NPR
David Bianculli
The five episodes... are brimming with twists, surprises, delightful set pieces - and some very unexpected performances.
The Hollywood Reporter
Tim Goodman
Dancing on the Edge is a thing of beauty to watch, as the scenes of noirish late-night jazz discoveries in 1930s England are so wonderful to behold.
New York Times
Jon Caramanica
Whatever the case, [the postscript episode]...opens doors the series until then had pointedly kept closed, though it doesn't feel like resolution, only poor planning.
New York Post
Michael Starr
If only the show's pacing matched its zippy musical score.
Variety
Brian Lowry
Beautiful to look at and pleasant to listen to, at six-plus hours (the first and last chapters each run more than 90 minutes), this is ultimately a rather dull Edge.
Wall Street Journal
Dorothy Rabinowitz
There is no edge to Dancing on Edge, a drama sunk by its pretensions.
Uncle Barky
Ed Bark
The story has ample pulling power. But the music is its driving force -- all day and all of the night.
New York Daily News
David Hinckley
Many of the people we meet in the cast are good guys, which gives Dancing a hopeful tone, even when the odds go the other way. We want the folks who deserve it to win, and so does the show.
Newsday
Verne Gay
What's missing is passion, joy and (ultimately) interest.
Your Family Viewer
Anne Louise Bannon
The rest of it is good enough that I can overlook that bit of lazy screenwriting.
TV Equals
Sandrine Sahakians
Really, I challenge you to find one bad performance in the miniseries because frankly there are none.
Los Angeles Times
Mary McNamara
Lush sets, lavish costumes, and the golden light favored by historical dramas make Dancing on the Edge a visual feast, while its overtones of racism, classism and general social turmoil gives it an edge too often lacking from Downton.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Wiegand
In the end, [the] promising moments only make the miniseries more disappointing.
RedEye
Curt Wagner
Though the gorgeous production starts out slowly and has its pompous moments, it's ultimately worth your time.
Bloomberg News
Greg Evans
While the series itself is hit and miss, the cast (and sumptuous period design) is first rate.
