TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
Steineded How sad is this?
Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Havan_IronOak I saw the first few episodes of this when it was broadcast in prime time and loved it. 20 somethings living in NYC and dealing with real issues, prejudice in the workplace, comimg out, getting past one night stands and into relationships. As a gay man myself, I was particularly interested in Russ, a soap actor who was struggling with coming out. Also the other male principals, Dan Montgomery Jr and Brad Rowe are easy on the eye and were both very cool about having a good friend who's gay. This series had a LOT of promise and I was upset to see it end. I recently caught the episodes that I missed on Cable and I would recommend it to others.
Angel001 I absolutely love this show. I'm not sure if it'll be coming back, but I wish I had the three episodes that aired on tape.It's a show that those of us who are in our 20's or right out of college can absolutely relate to. It's about finding your way and trying to discover what you want to do. Maybe not as a permanent career, but to get over the awkwardness over being outta school and not yet considering yourself a "grown-up." If you were to sit down and watch it, you would probably find yourself relating to each character in a little way. Dawnie was the over-analytical one who is waiting for the right time to lose her virginity; Sam the one who tries to lose her Southern accent to move forward; Ty was the one true love of Dawnie's life who is just trying to make ends meet; Vandy is the sweet, lovable musician who is barely scraping by; Jesse is the tough-as-nails career woman who is afraid of being vulnerable; Russell is the guy who's afraid of being outed of his personal life and his role as hunk-du-jour on a soap opera. Each character is wonderfully vulnerable, miserable, despicable and lovable at the same time.
Bookends I was kind of looking forward to seeing this show, so I decided to tune in to the series premiere. It definitely has potential to be watchable, maybe not in a "I'll tape it if I am not at home" kind of way, but I could watch it if I was sitting at home on a Thursday night with nothing else to do.The characters are interesting, but must they always give the Southern character a horrible accent? If the actress can't do it, it is ok, we don't all talk like we fell off of a cotton truck. Really, we don't.The only thing on this show that I really hated was the way the scenes changed. The quick views of NYC that transition are a way overused technique, and don't seem to quite fit this show, one that isn't fast paced like an ER for example. In the case of this show, the transitions only gave me a headache.2 1/2 stars out of 5.. for average.
Alan E To all fans of Kevin Williamson. Behold his latest triumph! While 'Dawson's Creek' focused its themes coherently towards the first coming of age, his new television series 'Wasteland' will most definitely hit it big with the teen and twenty something demographic, when this well produced show focusing on the second coming of age hits the air!I was actually fortunate enough to receive the original pilot episode as well as the remade new pilot.The original pilot was in fact lily white, but never the less terrific all the same. Dawnie the 26 year old virgin lives in a huge apartment in New York with her two best friends, Russell a hot and I mean hot TV soap hunk who is in fact gay and terrified of being outed. He has a one night stand in the pilot. His agent is Jesse, a sleek bad to the bone girl who smokes too many cigarettes, drinks to much and finds out that her boyfriend Kurt cheated on her. She is the shows bitch, yes! Their other friends include Sam, a private eye from the South who is desperate to be taken seriously by her male contemporaries and then there is Vandy, a struggling musician by day bartender by night who we find out still secretly loves Sam. Tye who emerges in the pilot out of nowhere was the college campus stud who slept around and dumped Dawnie, when she failed to sleep with him. She can be seen constantly slapping him in the pilot.The new pilot has a few additions and changes. Sam (played by Rebecca Gayheart) has now had her profession changed to a legal secretary (more believable), and acts as assistant to Jeffrey D. Sams character who is the district attorney. We see in the new pilot, sexual tension arising which will lead to an interracial relationship. Monica Keena (who played Abby on 'Dawson's') joins the cast (but I had better keep her role a secret for fear of hate mail).So there you have it. A terrific show, terrific premise and a hot young cast, the show will be more successful than 'Dawson's Creek' I think. To anyone out there wishing to know more, feel free to email me.
