Dancing on the Edge plot

Dancing on the Edge is set in the early 1930s in Great Britain. The story depicts the events during the early years (1931-1933) of this eventful decade by following the experiences of a fictional jazz band, led by pianist Louis Lester. The band is asked to play in chic hotels and clubs for a high society crowd, but because of their race, the band members have to enter and exit these venues through the back door.

Somewhat wry that even a series about the emergence of a (fictional) jazz band is almost entirely supported by white actors. Yet Chiwetel Ejiofor plays a nice role as a calculating bandleader who has to stand his ground against the open racism of the British High Society. Matthew Goode is a nice counterbalance to this as the archetypal lost reporter with grand ambitions in the reporting field. John Goodman is also fun as the quirky American business tiger with no scruples. The only thing that seriously falters is that the plot is forced to take on a thriller approach around a murder and having to escape from the authorities. In addition, the slow atmosphere setting mainly stands in the way of the build-up of tension.
