Mariah's World

A a behind-the-music celebrity miniseries with a surprising sense of humor and humility. ... It helps also that Carey--through sheer charm--makes what is essentially an eight-episode misdirect so delightfully human and engaging.

Mariah’s World isn’t breaking any molds. But because the supreme diva Mariah is the star, there’s a certain ridiculous, hilarious, hyper-stylized charm to the proceedings.

There’s a fascinating sideshow here--Carey’s tough manager--otherwise this is a by-the-book celebrity reality series that just happens to star one of the world’s biggest celebrities.

The real reason why “Mariah’s World” seems stale is that it comes off as a TV remake of “Madonna: Truth or Dare,” and Madge did it better in 1991.

There's entertainment value here for Carey fans, of course. But if you're not a fan, Mariah's World certainly isn't going to turn you into one.

Carey may not be acting in Mariah’s World, but she’s still putting on a show, and not a terribly interesting one at that.

With so much TV to watch right now, surely you can do better than this. The world is big, my friends, and there’s a lot more to explore in it than Mariah Carey doing her best attempt at a Keeping Up With the Kardashians knock-off.
