Fumarama

It was alright. I mean really just alright. But the characters just fell kind of flat for me or something. They are all sad...but not just sad, since sad can make for great drama, but also kind of overly serious and lifeless. All their problems are kind of typical and predictible. The whole show lacks a sort of energy that makes television the escapist entertainment that it is supposed to be.

Rachel Griffiths encapsulates the problem for me. She is very pretty, but no matter what seen she is in and no matter what her character is supposed to be doing looks like she is about to cry. She just walks around morose in different situations. I don't know if it is a result of some awful plastic surgery or maybe just left over continuous sadness from Six Feet Under, but it is really not interesting or enjoyable to watch.

All this being said: Greg Berlianti was brought onto the show last minute. Yes, we are talking about the mind behind Everwood. So there is hope. Maybe if he starts showrunning, everything will turn around.
