toile is a new show from Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino

Amy Sherman-Palladino is back with a new series for Prime Video.

The series follows the staff and dancers of two fictional world-renowned ballet companies based in New York City and Paris , respectively, as they initiate a publicity stunt in the form of an overseas talent swap.

Co-created, like always, with her husband and working partner Daniel Palladino , Étoile doesn’t skimp on the show’s trademarks.

It's not perfect, but I did enjoy the (surprisingly few) dance numbers and the other delightfully idiosyncratic characters dotting the story.

Crispin may be an entertaining addition to any scene, but many of his gags have a darker underbelly.

But Crispin is not only the most fun character across these eight episodes, he's also the most necessary.
