Thanks a lot for posting these reviews! I'm still debating whether I wanna give this show a try or not. I loved the show "Buffy", but never loved the character "Buffy" too much (and I'm not saying this was Sarah's fault). I especially like what was said about the atmosphere and the visuals - especially the visuals. (And I love the promo shot they used for the second review) Still, I can't make up my mind about it. (Which probably means I /should/ give it a try)
This is one of those "critic proof" shows for me. I intend to give this show a shot regardless of the opinions of others.
On the subject of opinions, that so-called Time Magazine review was dreadful compared to the comprehensive review offered by The Futon Critic site. I knew there was a reason I had that website bookmarked. :)
Agreed. The same guy was reviewing Game of Thrones and I could never get into his writing. My favourites are Myles McNutt and Alan Sepinwell.
Anyway, I'll be watching Ringer for sure. As much as there has been some criticism, most of what I have seen has been positive. Also, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Nestor Carbonel, and Tara Summers are wonderful.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.

I completely agree with both... Besides most of the reviews have been positive and I just can't wait to finally watch it!
ReplyDeleteI thought Tara Summers was fantastic on Boston Legal. I'm glad she's on another show I'm interested in.
ReplyDeletei never listen to reviews for movies and tv series i always see it for myself first before i judge
