YMMV / Michael Jackson: ONE

• Awesome Music: Say what you want, but the soundtrack contains some of the greatest and most iconic songs in Music history. After all Michael Jackson wasn't called "The King of Pop" for nothing.
• Ending Fatigue: There are two more songs after "Man in the Mirror" wraps up the Excuse Plot; to make matters worse, there aren't any more acrobatic setpieces to justify them.
• Glurge: If one doesn't subscribe to the Purity Sue depiction of Jackson and can't help thinking of his less-than-saintly behavior in Real Life and the horrific accusations made against him, this show slips into this territory. It doesn't help that the show has a Strawman News Media serving as the Big Bad, inspired by the constant claims Jackson and his supporters made that the media was responsible for most of the misery in his adult life, rather than his own questionable actions. That said, the show's general positive reception is a reminder that being glurge does not preclude a show from being quality entertainment.
• Narm Charm: The show is borderline in essence putting Jackson on a high pedestal and painting him as a super saintly figure, but you can't help but be enamored by it, like with most Jackson's material.
