TV fans are "obsessed" with Prime Video's new eight-part drama, Étoile, with viewers hooked on the show after just one episode and calling for a second season.
The series comes from Gilmore Girls and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel creators Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino, and follows the dancers and artistic staff of two world-renowned ballet companies in New York and Paris, who swap their top dancers and choreographers in order to save their storied institutions.
It's safe to say that viewers are loving the series, with one fan hailing the show's opening episode as "TV at its peak". They penned: "Étoile's first episode is TV at its peak. Everyone go watch this show right now #étoile," while others were gripped after just one episode.
One person wrote on X: "Thirty minutes into Étoile and I'm already obsessed," while another added: "#Étoile is GOOD. So Good. I am obsessed. The Palladinos have once again delivered alongside the perfect cast. The star of this show is the writing — hilarious and chaotic. I am looking forward to season 2."
