Thanks to Hulu, ’cause a b*xch don’t even have regular tv channels anymore, I legit live on streaming apps now, I got to watch episode 1 of The Big Leap and I am super excited to share my initial thoughts via this live recap.
The Big Leap is a modern tale about second chances and chasing one’s dreams. It revolves around a group of diverse, down-on-their-luck characters attempting to change their lives by participating in a potentially life-ruining reality dance show that builds to a live production of “Swan Lake.”
