Doesn’t seem that insane. First she met a guy on the internet and moved in with him, then she was a stripper, then she wrote a blog? It’s not like she was a conscripted child soldier in Africa and escaped to a refugee camp or something.
It’s a fun background show but if you binge it, it will begin to show it’s repetitive humdrum quickly.
I enjoyed it. Bruce Campbell is always a treat. Jeffery Donovan is a good actor that should’ve been used more. And Gabrielle Anwar is not only easy on the eyes, but she plays a decent character. Shame they stopped the Irish accent after the first episode for her though. That added to her sexiness for sure.
I just asked my husband. He said that he watched the show from beginning to end. This is a direct quote from him: "No one is going to be a better person for having watched it, but it somehow kept me sucked in until I finished it."
It very much follows the USA format (White Collar, Psych, Monk, etc.), especially similar to White Collar:
Ridiculous premise, most episodes are standalone and formulaic, a couple seasons at the beginning and end of each season are about the season’s story arc and are generally weaker. Later seasons get more into the increasingly silly arc and it starts to drag. But overall it’s a lot of fun.
Yea, I was gonna say something similar. If you liked those USA network shows, then you’ll enjoy this. I love Psych and Monk, so I’m all about the shows of that channel/era
There was also an episode of Buffy that was held from airing because the subject was a potential school shooting and it was planned to air like the day after Columbine.
Oh boy poor Guy, does he even have a name? That movie is just so chuck full of jokes. I also particularly love how the aliens look at the ceiling to find the captains sock. 😋
I was reminded of that scene earlier when my husband was looking for something. He just moved his head around in different directions, straight past the item he was looking for, and it finally clicked for me why he can never find anything.
For real. Like obviously the movie isn’t high art but it hits all it’s emotional and comedic beats perfectly. Pretty much every major character has some sort of arc and it understands and lovingly and expertly pokes fun at so many aspects of campy scifi and scifi fandom.
Like a ridiculously well executed movie on every level.
Bruce Campbell makes the show. It’s worth watching just because of him and his character. I enjoyed the whole thing but probably wouldn’t of without my boy Bruce.
Mixing romance and work is a bad idea. I mean Veronica, just the other day, she asked me if bullets came in different sizes. Isn’t that the cutest thing you’ve ever heard?
The show formula is extremely predictable, to the point that it’s the guest victims job to foil Michael’s plan. Most of the time, this is foreshadowed by Mike asking them to not do the thing that they end up doing. It’s extremely annoying, but close to the end of the show, you get a few episodes of just Bruce being fucking amazing.
Yeah I’ve started it because of this post and I like it because it has all the ingredients for me (office life I can laugh at now that I’m out of it, MMORPG to relive my glory days from WoW, great actors I love, etc), but it’s definitely missing the special sauce that made these two other shows much more special, it’s hard to pinpoint exactly though.
He’s also got a credit as appearing as himself in archive footage, which seems a little unlikely, in The UnXplained with William Shatner of all things.
