Dancing On The Edge

Superbe série (8 épisodes), tant sur le plan esthétique qu'au niveau de l'intrigue, avec une excellente distribution. A voir absolument !

This is one of the best serie i saw since a long time : very interesting subject and perfectly cast with great actors direction! Wonderfull.

The story is very interesting and the acting is excellent. It held my attention and I recommend it if you enjoy a good story.

THE MUSIC IS FANTASTIC. The sets, costumes, and acting are, as they may have said in 1933, the bees knees. I like period film, saw a preview, and expected a good show; I saw greatness. With seven hours of captivating story, this is a bargain now that it is well past release day and the price is greatly reduced.Abundant seasoned actors tell a story that seems believable. You feel a kinship with almost all characters, and picking who-dun-it early is unlikely for even the sharpest of sofa sleuths.Among “The Band” you see Chiwetel Ejiofor, Wunmi Mosaku, and perky Angel Coulby (Merlin). On the magazine scene is Matthew Goode (Birdsong, Downton), Jenna Coleman (Death Comes to Pemberly; Titanic), Mel Smith, Allan Corduner, and American John Goodman. Jazz lovers that get involved: Joanna Vanderham (The Paradise), Janet Montgomery, Anthony Head, Tom Hughes and of course Jacqueline Bisset (see Old Fashioned Thanksgiving).===1=== London,1933 Louis Lester seeks Stanley’s help to exit England.Then the back story of 18 months reveals the rise of the band at the Imperial Hotel.===2=== London 1933-then quickly back to 1932 for more of the Jazz band’s history. BBC Radio. Record deal. Command performance. Disaster.===3=== London 1933 jumps back to 7 weeks earlier, Christmas week 1932. Nazi racism is introduced. New Year’s via the wireless, fireworks, death.===4=== London 1933 fast moves to 8 days previous. A Music Express 32-page special photo edition initiating the ‘rag’ being bought by a rich American. The fix & escape has started.===5=== The band splits, leader running, who do you trust? A final game of hide and seek and revelations.===6=Interviewing Louis=== The only episode with a title that begins in London 1932, a long term series of interviews with flashbacks and new insight into previous scenes with social philosophy of the time.The end provided a step into a new season, so there is hope for more fine ‘30s Jazz.

'Dancing on the Edge' is sublime. I remember watching this on-line, when it first came out in the hope that I would find it to be an enjoyable drama. What I got was one of the best thrillers I've ever watched on television.The six episodes focus on a Jazz band in the 1930's and how their new found success propels them into the upper echelons of society and the sinister events that unfold as a consequence. The performances are incredible, but this is hardly surprising with such a seasoned and talented cast. I'd recommend this to anyone who simply loves a good story, period piece or thriller.
