If you approach it as just a good old fashioned soap opera and do not expect any degree of realism or character development, it's a very good show. Well, maybe not good, but certainly enjoyable. :)sunbunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553429350476841139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-588821409448072742012-04-27T19:33:05.317-04:002012-04-27T19:33:05.317-04:00So that's why she's wearing those unflatte...So <i>that's</i> why she's wearing those unflattering coats!

There's a lot to like when it comes to the show's initial premise, it was just executed so unsuccessfully.<br /><br />Again, thanks to everybody who has read these things for the last couple of months. You definitely kept up my morale!

What a disappointing finale..Macawi just happened and then unhappended just as quickly..Siobahn and Bridget were both thrown out by their men..Juliet's reaction was silly given what her mother had done.<br />So SMG is not pregnant just badly dressed..She's a lovely woman so that was some lousy costume choices. <br />I hope she'll find a show/movie more worthy of her great talent.<br />Sigh. At least it's over, if it's renewed I'm out. Now I'll stick with Revenge.<br />AnnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-38703641816198658812012-04-19T17:56:20.795-04:002012-04-19T17:56:20.795-04:00Max, you didn't let us down! This was your fun...Max, you didn't let us down! This was your funniest review yet even though you had so little to work with given this disappointing finale. In fact, it was so flat that my kids and I were shocked that it was the finale. We didn't know, so we were expecting scenes at the end. When we read online that it was the finale, we couldn't believe it.<br /><br />I agree that the scene with Juliet and Andrew at the end was touching, but I also don't understand how she could act so moral to Bridget at the end given all the lying she has done, as you mention. Andrew, for that matter, too, shouldn't throw stones given the glass house he lived in once. That is the problem with these characters; they change with their outfits. There is no consistency. I am glad it is over, and I don't expect it to be renewed. I don't know if we deserve awards for sticking with it or if we should have our heads examined. ;)<br /><br />Here are a few of my favorite parts of your hilarious review above: your reference to Bodoway Maccawi (sp?) as that "absurdly named caricature," your apt description of Bridget as "attached to a cell phone like a fat kid to a candy bar" (and you are so right that those horrible outfits did not suit SMG's figure in the least), and your wonderful reference back to that horrible boat scene that really should have been the point where we just gave up on the show!<br /><br />Great reviews and I am glad to be able to read more your writing about a much better show, Mad Men, in the future.Suzannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-20890075603446023362012-04-19T12:55:01.142-04:002012-04-19T12:55:01.142-04:00I´ve been a critic of this show and it has been a ...I´ve been a critic of this show and it has been a mess but I really liked this episode and it wasn´t cheesy or over-the-top. And I loved Bridget coming clean to Andrew, very emotional scene.<br />And I know I said I wanted the show cancelled or if renewed, I would never see again. But now my feelings are changed: I want a second season to focus on the characters.<br />Who knew, right?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-6655154827755438182012-04-18T12:55:26.743-04:002012-04-18T12:55:26.743-04:00"...leaving you wondering where they would go..."...leaving you wondering where they would go from here even if the show were to be inexplicably renewed."<br /><br />I don't expect the show will be renewed, but if by some weird executive decision it is... I expect season two would be Siobahn pretending to be Bridget for most of the season, including a "reconciliation" with Andrew and Juliet. How anyone could possibly believe they would fall for those kind of shenanigans again is another question.TheShadowKnowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11073693648569864707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-33966321069453680352012-04-18T11:57:33.566-04:002012-04-18T11:57:33.566-04:00Max, congratulations on finishing the entire seaso...Max, congratulations on finishing the entire season! Your reviews have been delightful to read, and I'm really impressed that you stuck with the show even after it became so silly.<br /><br />I hope SMG does find a better show.Josie Kafkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892717530356699008noreply@blogger.com
