Youth isn't forever â€" just ask a pop star. In Peacock's Girls5eva, created by Meredith Scardino, four adult women reckon with the ephemeral fame of their youth. The spotlight may have been temporary, but their friendship? It'll last 5eva.
Sara Bareilles, Paula Pell, Renée Elise Goldsberry, and Busy Phillips star as the titular girl group, who enjoyed 90s success but fell off the map. When a young artist samples their old megahit, the girls get back together and try for a second wind â€" struggling to return to relevance without clinging to the past.Â
The show reunites Scardino with Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt executive producers Tina Fey, Robert Carlock, Jeff Richmond, and David Miner (as well as Eric Gurian) â€" a show that Scardino also wrote on, which gives Girls5eva the same comedy rhythm. The jokes are weird and hyperspecific â€" designed to elicit that one guffaw per 10 viewers instead of a lukewarm chuckle from the whole audience.  Read more...
