Life Unexpected (2010)
Most Annoying Teenager Portrayed Ever on TV
This is seriously one of the most ANNOYING shows I have ever watched. There isn't a character on the show who I didn't want to smack in the face at some point. Lux, the main character especially makes me want to grind my teeth. She's the most SELFISH, self-centered, spoiled teenager ever portrayed on TV. She gets away with a lot just by yelling back at her parents after she has done something bad and making them feel bad for being mad at her, when they are totally justified in being mad at her. If I did the things she did when I was her age I would have received some major punishment. She cheated on tests and never got punished for it. She crashed her mom's car and someone else took the blame for her. She threw her best friend Tasha under the bus in one episode and let her take the blame so she wouldn't get in trouble for being in a relationship with a teacher. Seriously what were the writers thinking when they developed this character? Also, this show has way to may long diatribes that get really played out after a while. I start browsing other things on the internet and only half pay attention when that happens, and it happens a lot. Everyone is always yelling at each other and having some uneccessary moral or emotional dilemma or epiphany. It's really as far from real life as you can get. I guess this all wouldn't be a problem if the writing were better and the characters were more likable. Watch this show if you want to stress yourself out unneccesarily. The only reason I keep watching this show is because its kind of like watching a train wreck or slowing down for an accident on the freeway, you just want to see what happens or happened even if its bad.
Fringe (2008)
Intriguing Show
I enjoy this show. I think Walter Bishop, ("the mad scientist") is an awesome character. He is quirky and random, and the interactions b/w him and his son are fun to watch. I like how the show is revealing the mysteries little by little. I don't think it would be as exciting or as interesting if they told you everything right away. I'm a fan of LOST, and I think this show is similar in that sense. In the process of solving all these strange crimes, they reveal more and more about Olivia and Walter Bishop's connection to these occurrences. I find it intriguing and it keeps me watching week to week. I also think the acting is pretty good.
The Black Donnellys (2007)
I wanted to know everything about them
I really love this show. I hope it does not get canceled--as seems to be the current phenomenon--no network ever seems to give good shows a chance to grow an audience. By the end of the first episode I was totally engrossed in the story of these four Irish brothers with cursed blood. I wanted to know everything about them, and I felt for Tommy more than I have felt for any TV character in a very long time. I love the cinematography, the background music, and the choice of actors. Joey "Ice Cream" as an unreliable narrator gives the show a little comedy which is needed to balance out the drama. Tommy is a tragic hero, as most real heroes are and I look forward to watching the development of him and the other brothers.
