I watched the first 3 seasons back in the day, when it was released. Recently going through all the 6 seasons. It's a series of many unfortunate events for two plastic surgeons, comedy, drama, thriller. The cast is excellent, with very nice chemistry. The first 5 seasons were very well made and paced. The last seasons was just way too long and uneventful.
It also felt so fresh to see a Tv show today without all the modern interventions of all sorts of ''groups''. |
I tried going back to it recently, as I too stopped watching it at I think around the same point. I actually found it full of 'modern themes' done in a really cringe and clumsy way, like the OTT Nazi girlfriend. I'd also forgotten the incredibly lame outcome of the (initially gripping) Carver storyline  |
Yes, some of the episodes/themes were beyond bad. The Nazi girlfriend being probably the worst of them. Not for the idea, I mean it made perfect sense that in a show about plastic surgery there would be such a theme, but the way they did it was preposterous, (*spoiler: help me bleach my skin, because I might be whatever % black)
The Carver story was actually well written and paced, but the ending was very disappointing. In fact, the ending of the whole TV show was somewhat lacklustre and very predictable.
That being said, I did enjoy the show. McNamara and Troy worked great together, the Ava character was also alright and the Escobar Gallardo character was excellent. Some of the cameos by all sorts of people were questionable, but they never stayed too long. I also forgot Alanis Morissette was in the show, so was Bradley Cooper, Alec Baldwin, J. K. Simmons, and many others. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

Watched that three-parter biog on Schwarzenegger.
I struggled with admitting just how much I liked him before, and now I have to struggle with the fact that I like him even more.
Its really energising that he has the self-confidence and drive to say I'm gonna totally change direction and WIN ... and then he goes and does it.
I think like that myself, although not to quite such a successful level
Not sure how I missed that he did the dirty on Maria Schriver, I must have been-not-paying attention back there somewhere - but I suppose its not really a surprise. Anyone who courts that level of fame always thinks they are invincible but the gutter press always gets them in the end.
Still, I definitely liked the series, and somehow he seems to improve with age. Few more years and he will be looking a bit more fragile, but he will still be one of my all-time heroes  ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

Oh yeah! I love The Sopranos
My favourite one is where Chris and Paulie get lost in the snow
I'd watch the whole series again. ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |
