When a sample of their signature song resurfaces, the members of Girls5eva - a quintet reduced when one member died in an accident - reunite and set out to reclaim past glory. Having long since left (or been left by) stardom, they’re in versions of normal lives, with lead actor Sara Bareilles playing a character who’s stopped thinking too much about her past. We see the titular group, a pop quartet, both in their heyday and in present tense. Created by “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” writer Meredith Scardino, “Girls5eva” is a sophisticated joke-delivery machine that will hold special appeal to culture obsessives, and more evidence that NBCUniversal’s small-but-mighty streamer Peacock punches above its weight.
Happily, “Girls5eva,” about a former girl group reuniting in middle age to attempt a comeback, is a promising offering in its early outings.
