"Melrose Place" 1.03 Review

Only 1.50 million people tuned in for a really great episode? Come on! It deserved a lot more than that, definetly, the episode was filled with everything.
.
Starting with Riley and Jonah, they are a great couple, but can't seem to go through one whole episode without an argument arising. Ella is wonderful, really dominant yet she shows she has a vulnerable side, so I really love her character, I am still torn with who my favourite character is - Riley or Ella, hmm!
.
This episode had everyone feeling a lot more relaxed now, I think the show is finally getting settled and really boiling out the good stuff. It was good to see Jonah doing that music video, bless him when he is told he won't get credited for it, I hope Ella slaps her boss one, and soon. Violet is becoming more likeable, though still a little strange, I can tell she is attracted to Auggie, and him refusing to take the sunglasses can't be good.
.
The ending was very creepy- why does David's father have a file called Ella and another one called Auggie on his computer for? That is seriously strange and I can't wait to find out what the files contain, and I wonder if he has any files on the other characters.
.
All in all, an episode that is proving the series is getting better by the minute and something I look forward to seeing renewed for a second season, though with the ratings being quite bad, I have little to no hope of that happening.

"Melrose Place" 1.02 Review

Loved, loved, loved it. I know I seem to like anything these days, but Melrose is a new series I am really getting my teeth stuck in to. I might have to watch the original series too, when I have the time.
.
For my favourite character? Currently I am torn between Riley and Ella, both are great and different to each other. The episode furthered the characters and fleshed them out a bit more, which is what I always like to see. I love knowing more about the characters because then I will be able to feel emotions for them whenever they are happy, sad, angry etc. So is this a show I will buy on DVD? You bet'cha!
.
Episode 2 is a step up from the first episode. It felt more relaxed and chilled and I love watching relaxing shows. I loved the Ella storyline, trying to get a client for the firm she works out to ensure she keeps her job, and the struggle to get one was quite funny to watch. I still have to remember names of all the characters so I probably won't talk about all of them. Last episode I thought Auggie murdered Sydney (?) but now I am not so sure, he seems to be more likeable this episode. Violet is also developing too, into both a sexy character to a dark and wierd character. The episode showed 2 sides of Violet, and my opinion of her is unclear at the moment.
.
Melrose Place can balance comedy and drama perfectly, so its a show I will remain faithful to until its end.

"Melrose Place" (2009) 1.01- Pilot Review

While Melrose Place may never ever be my favourite show, I can safely say I did enjoy the pilot episode. The mystery is intriguing and some of the characters are likeable, though I keep forgetting their names, it takes me a while to remember names in various television shows, so I'll mainly talk about the show in general.
.
I've never seen the original Melrose Place, though after watching the pilot of this show, it does make me want to watch the original series. It will take me a while to watch it though as I am swamped with other television shows to watch, new and old, and even lots of shows to catch up on, such as the CSI series and Beverly Hills, 90210.
.
Riley, so far, is my favourite character, though Ella is definetly a strong character who I take a liking too. I don't know why but with every show I always like the female characters more than the male characters, I guess the writers just make the females more likeable for some reason.
.
The story was good, and I am really excited about the mystery, and I know I will be drawin in for the rest of the series as I love 'Whodunit' types of thing so this will be a series worth watching for me. Unfortunatly, the series only premiered with 2.30 million viewers, so I hope viewership picks up as the episodes go along.

"Lost" will be debuting early 2010, so a premiere date has yet to be announced, however it will be the last season, starting with a 2-hour premiere and finishing with a 2-hour finale. Hopefully College won't make me too busy enough to not be able to keep up with these shows, like it did last year, so here's to hoping.
