I liked the pilot. I'm not sure it will grow into a "hit" exactly, but I think it was a solid 1 or maybe two season series.
It has that "Yes I'm a bit predictable, but you're still going to enjoy the ride" feel to it. Which may or may not work very well in the competitive Fall season.
I still think it would have been better served being a Summer drama series for 13 weeks like Harper's Island, Persons Unknown or Happytown.
I was thinking the same thing. The premise isn't very long term unless they pull a rabbit out their hat somewhere down the road. I feel the same way about Ringer even if premise isn't what is going to kill that show.
I think we both, at some point, were rolling our eyes in disbelief at this show. I know I didn't have anything good to say about it leading up to the premiere. That being said, I decided to watch the pilot to satisfy my curiosity and, damn it all to hell, I liked it.
I was teetering on the fence about Revenge until the scene where that weaselly billionaire kid showed up at the beach house and Emily damn near beat his ass. At that point, I was sold.
I didn't need this. My fall TV plate is full already but I know I'm going to try and fit this in with the rest. :)
Ha! Indeed. I was not near sold by the promos I watched, but the pilot won me over.... for now at least. I mean it is very soapy, but it did not go too overboard in the pilot. If that changes I won't like it as much, but if it walks the line it may just be a light fun show I can actually look forward t from week to week.
Agreed. I think Ringer has a limited run. the switcheroo can only go on a season or maybe a season and a half in my mind. MAybe another half season or a full season of Bridget outted and being herself trying to solve her problems.
After that the only way I can see it continuing any further is if Siobhan has to come back and assume a dead Bridget's Identity for some reason. Maybe they get another year that way. So 2 or 3 years maximum in my mind.
Didn't think I'd like it, but decided to give it a look and was surprised. I also wonder to the logevity of the show as it seems that it could be the "revenge otw" scenario until everyone in the photo is crossed off, but I thik that the writers are hopefully smarter than that as that could get old quick (albeit satisfying). Count me in for now.
Wow I feel all alone. I was disappointed. The whole thing was a cliche. In say this I am going to give it a chance since this show and CM's are the only shows I watch Wednesday.
I heard nothing about this show before watching it. I thought it was allright, will watch again next week and then decide if it´s good or not.
You are right, it is very much like Harpers Island and other summer shows. I got tired of them within 5 - 7 episodes, so let´s see how long I watch this. :-)
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
Its pretty good. I look forward to seeing this rich douchebags taken down.
ReplyDeleteLoved the pilot. Will definitely watch the next episode.
ReplyDeleteI'm liking Jack so far :)
