Aaaaahhhhh!!! I have been waiting sooo long for this show to start that I even stayed up until 5am to watch this remarkable show. Rewatching promos and previews of the show, I was absolutely gagging to watch the Pilot, and now I finally watched it and I LOVED it!
.
Even though the show has been getting generally mixed reviews from several critics, from the very first minute I was drawn into the show and fell under the spell of the main women. I love how the Pilot episode just never stopped, it kept going and going and there wasn't one dull moment in it.
.
Roxie was introduced first, so I will begin with my opinions on her. I really love Roxie, she is fiesty, a mother I'm sure loads of kids would love to have her as their mother, fun, hip and sexy. I especially find her 'romance' with Darryl quite funny, as she herself doesn't know what she wants. She is quite stubborn, a little like me, and just a pleasure to watch. She was compared to by Susan Mayer a lot by critics, but Susan is my favourite character in Desperate Housewives, and I would say Roxie is very different.
.
I am torn between my favourite either being Roxie or Joanna. Joanna is the nerdy but loveable woman who works at the local newspaper and has a thing for Will, but has great difficulty telling him her real feelings, or even telling him anything that makes sense because she really gets nervous around him and ends up saying something very inappropriate, which is hilarious to watch.
.
Last up is Kat, a mother of five, I think it was five anyways, who is married to a complete and utter jerk. Honestly, I think Maggie Friedman was trying to get us to hate Raymond with all our hearts and make us feel compassion for Kat, and to tell you the truth it kind of worked. While Kat is the more serious one, she is just trying to burst out her bubble and have fun, but is constantly squashed by her horrible husband. I do hope she gets that divorce.
.
And now Darryl. He is quite a charmer for the ladies, and since this show is only partly based on the film, but more so the books too, I will not compare Paul Gross to Jack Nicholson. While Jack did an amazing job as Darryl in the film, I was very pleased to see Paul do just as good in the television adaption. He had all the spunk that the original Darryl had and I am sure he will continue to be this way throughout.
.
This show is like Charmed meets Desperate Housewives, and I simply adored the Pilot episode, it had all the elements of a successful television comedy that was just simply funny and serious at the same time. I am excited to watch more episodes because I am beginning to think this show may become my all-time favourite! Let's just hope the ratings held up, it deserves a large rating!
Well I enjoyed it. I love Courtney Cox, so I kept my mind open when watching the Pilot, and let me tell you something, it sure was random. And I really like random, and comedies, so random comedy put together.
.
I wouldn't say this is better than Friends, I wouldn't go that far, but the show does have a lot of promise and I need to watch a few more episodes before I get an opinion on this show. There were moments that were funny, and moments that were trying too hard to be funny, and you may have seen the idea of that joke somewhere else before. But all in all, not bad for a new comedy.
.
The characters seem very likeable, yet I doubt we will get depth from them any time soon. The random storyline that I liked the most was the billboard sign that Jules had made for her realty selling, though her friend, Laurie, put quite a 'revealing' picture of her on it, insisting it was better than the one Jules originally picked out. I do hope more episodes have a bit more laughing moments in them before I fully call it a comedy.
.
Laurie seems to be the stereotypical dumb one, yet I seem to like her. Jules is probably likeable from the get-go so that's a bonus for sure. I am excited to see more of this, but as I said, I need to watch more episodes to fully grasp what I think of this series.
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.
I LOVE Season 2, and we're only up to Episode 3! I have to tell you, I really am clueless how the rest of the season will go as it's just so random now with the show, but what I do know is that I love, love, love the show, very deeply. Who knew I would feel this way about it?
.
First off, Annie and Naomi go head to head again, and let me tell you, it never gets dull, not one bit. What I love about the Annie v Naomi in this episode, was that the roles were reversed- Annie wasn't the victim anymore, Naomi was, and by God did Naomi deserve it. Though Annie did go a little too far, I couldn't help but actually LOVE what Annie said to Naomi, and I am so pleased to hear Naomi finds out who Liam really slept with in the next episode, so I am waiting anxiously to see her beg for forgiveness.
.
Silver was making progress in this episode, and I was screaming with joy when she found out Naomi actually sent the sext of Annie, and I was hoping they wouldn't be friends anymore, but damn, by the end they were pals again. And wow, Adriana really pulled through and proves why she is a grower. She had temptation dangling in her face and she didn't fall for the bait, Navid is lucky to have someone like her.
.
Ugh, Dixon! I am really displeased with him, he always thinks everything is someone else's fault but his, and Silver really needs to get over him because she deserves so much better. I hope that woman Dixon is going out with will find out Dixon's real age, and hopefully she will slap him very hard.
.
Again, another wonderful episode, Season 2 is on a roll!
I was beginning to lose interest in Heroes. Not because Season 3 was bad, because it wasn't bad, I enjoyed it fairly enough, but I don't know, I was just seeming uninterested, but with the return of the show, I actually got my Heroes spark back.
.
I love the introduction of these new people with abilities, as I have no idea what to make of them, are they good or bad? I think they're bad, but they're interesting and fresh. My main highlight, of course, is Claire. If the show didn't have her, then the show would be very dull. Hiro was also great in this episode, and I am very sad to hear he is dying, I hope he beats the inevitable.
.
Best thing about the first episode? NO MOHINDER! Best thing about the second episode? NO MOHINDER! Also, I had to put 4x01 and 4x02 together because I couldn't get any photos from 4x01, so I thought I would review them together. Episode 1 was alright for me, but Episode 2 was a lot better. I disliked the college idea before the new season premiered, but now I think it was a great idea. Poor Anne, I was so intrigued by her death, I really thought she was murdered, but turns out she just fell, so that's that out the way, but Gretchen saw Claire act out her death to find out the truth and lived. Excited to see them two develop, though I know exactly where it's leading - a ratings stunt!
.
I actually liked Peter in both episodes also, I used to hate him with a passion, thinking he was better than everyone, but I thought he was average. Sylar is also getting boring, I wish he would just die already. The whole Sylar/Nathan thing is going to blow up in Angela's face with fatal consequences. I also LOVED Tracy in the episode, I thought she was going to be a villain, but turns out she just needs a helping hand to get her life back on track.
.
All in all, I think this season may just be the best season yet. Here's to hoping.
Now this episode was much better than the premiere, and I mean by like 95%. It may not have done better in ratings, but it sure did better for me to put more belief into the show, hoping it will carry on. I still miss Peyton like crazy, but Peyton was mentioned (and even seen) a lot in this episode, so it was if she never left.
.
Brooke was much better this episode, and showed hints of the old Brooke for which I love. Her rants were quite funny to see, and I can see Brooke becoming a much better character in the near future. I think the show is relying more on comedy now though more than drama, as it is hardly dramatic anymore, but the comedy isn't necessarily a bad thing, and they even produced one of the best lines of the whole series- Haley: "Who's the bitch now, bitch".
.
I don't really care for Nathan, and I wouldn't mind if they wrote him out, but I guess because James Laffery doesn't have any career outside One Tree Hill, then he's sticking with the show. Him having to tell Haley about getting someone else pregnant, or at least what we're led to believe, finally showed some drama to the show. Rachel Gatina! She came back, and how pleased am I, they needed her to save this season I think, as she gave us some great moments, and great surprises- Dan's wife?! Can't wait to see how Nathan, Haley and Brooke react to that!
.
Skills was alright in the episode, I usually don't like him, but he was admittedly funny this episode. Millicent was also one of the stars of the show this episode, couldn't help but love her loads. Julian was also okay this episode, he was a bit too moody though- brighten up!
.
So far, it's turning out to be a promising season, though I crave a Peyton return.
Best New Show This Year? Well I need to see "Eastwick" first since I am obsessed with that show before it's even started, but anywho, this show so far is the best new show this year, definetly. And episode 2 is my favourite episode so far.
.
Yet again we have mystery and intrigue, and the characters are getting more depth, and the character I am watching out for is Bonnie. She is shaping to be a fine character indeed, and her psychic abilities are going to get her involved in some scary business with the Vampires and other creepy creatures that lurk in the night. Elena needs to be fleshed out a bit more also, but I do like her character, but the one thing I hated about the episode is the Elena and Stefan kiss- it was way too early. You would think they would build their romance and make it more adorable to watch, but we got it in the second episode of the whole series.
.
Vicki is also shaping up nicely with her Damon attack. I actually really like Damon's villainess, and has some funny lines too, but I do hope he shows at least a bit of sympathy to someone soon. And the ending? Shocked me! I thought it was way too early to even contemplate Caroline dying because of Damon biting her. I hope she isn't dead! One of the best episodes of the week, so I love it just fine, I wonder how future episodes can top it.
I definetly loved this episode a lot more than the premiere, though both episodes were perfect in my opinion (though Episode 1 could have done with much improvement). Again, with Supernatural, it steps up its game every episode that passes, or so far, so I hope this continues.
.
I am glad Castiel wasn't in the episode much, he is beginning to grate on me with his "holier than thou" routine and "look at my higher status" attitude. He has a face I just wanna slap and is turning into Eli James 2.0 if he doesn't learn how to smile at least once. I was looking forward to seeing Jo and Elle in this episode, as I liked both, and missed them also. The storyline was captivating, with Sam and Dean having to go to a derelict town where people seem to be going demented and turning against each other. Turns out one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocolypse is making people think who they are looking at are demons. Great!
.
The ending shocked me quite a bit, as small as it was, I was actually astonished that the brothers are going their separate ways. Even though they have been at each other's throats for a while now, it's still quite hard to imagine a brotherly bond like theirs has stretched to the point where it's snapped. I do hope they are reunited, mainly for the fact that I hear Dean will be teaming up with Castiel in Episode 3, and that would mean more Castiel :( The joy! I am really not looking forward to that.
.
Negative! Why the hell do the creative team not think of something good for a change? I mean really, the War Horseman of the Apocolypse looks like EVERYTHING else in the show - human! Demons look like humans, Angels look like humans, and now the Horseman of the Apocolypse? I mean really! Has their budget been cut to the point that the show doesn't have any supernatural look to it at all? Are they going to just stick bad guys in clothes and throw them on set? Change this please, and fast.
Aaaaahhhhh!!! I have been waiting sooo long for this show to start that I even stayed up until 5am to watch this remarkable show. Rewatching promos and previews of the show, I was absolutely gagging to watch the Pilot, and now I finally watched it and I LOVED it!
