‘Mrs. Maisel’ Team’s New Ballet Drama ‘Étoile’ Trips Over Itself: TV Review


In Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino’s latest drama, two ballet companies, one in New York and the other in Paris, swap talent for the season.

Light years away from Stars Hollow and the comedy clubs of 1950s New York City, Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino ’s latest dramedy, “ Étoile,” delves into the milieu of professional ballet. Amid sluggish ticket sales, a post-COVID dancer exodus and a dwindling audience, Jack and Geneviève hatch an ambitious plan to swap their top performers for one year to bring more visibility to both companies. “Étoile,” which refers to a company’s principal dancer, opens as a young girl, SuSu Li (LaMay Zhang), dances alone in the darkened practice room at the Metropolitan Ballet.
