'Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies' Celebrates Teen Friendship in Prequel Series

Paramount+’s Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies, a prequel to the original Grease, aims to tackle sexism and racism in its 1950s setting while delivering infectious tunes, lovable characters, and sweet teen romance. While the show's brand of female empowerment is mostly satisfying, its handling of race is clumsy at best and cowardly at worst. The musical numbers are forgettable, but the series succeeds in portraying the joys of teen friendship and first love.

'Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies' - A Prequel Series That Celebrates Teen Friendship

"Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies" is a surprisingly good prequel to the iconic movie, with a talented and diverse young cast and a bit of edge. Meanwhile, the second season of "Schmigadoon!" shifts to the edgier, sexier fare of the late 1960s and '70s, with riffs on classic musicals. While the musical parodies are fun, the story feels slight. Both shows highlight the boom time for musical series in the streaming era.
