I will review this article. Having taken a quick look over it already, I highly urge you to take a look at this and work over the prose, especially concerning Editorializing. The stage summaries read like pieces of journalism, which is not acceptable for Wikipedia. Also, all references to the TV broadcast are not only beside the point, but also not capable of being sourced since the broadcast cannot be considered WP:RS. A more precise review will follow.

Review closed in accordance with nominators wishes. Failed for now. I encourage the reviewer to nominate the article again, once the Words to Watch problems are sorted out. Zwerg Nase (talk) 07:14, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
