Ugly Betty, season 1 finale.

I really shouldn’t like this show. It contains so many elements I usually hate; the over the top soap opera storylines, the clichéd characters, the back stabbing and double-crossing. This show makes it work though, sure there have been some storylines that had me rolling my eyes, but they’ve always kept me interested.
So when it was time for the finale I was happy because I didn’t quite know what to expect, but they did a great job, tying up some ends, while building on others.

I’m still in denial about the end though; I won’t believe that person is dead until I see the funeral in the season 2 opener.

I really hate Wilhelmina and Charlie right now; they both need a serious beating.

All in all I really enjoyed the season finale, and I am really looking forward to next season.

Jake 2.0.

I have to admit I started watching this show for Christopher Gorham, and that’s probably the only reason I managed to continue watching the show.

The first four episodes were rather dull and simplistic, and would probably have worked better for a show made in the early 90s than now.

It did however pick up a little after that. It seemed the writers noticed they had something to work with, with regards to Christopher Gorham and Keegan Connor Tracy, the other actors sadly came a cross as just showing up to earn a pay check while these two tried to make something out of their characters.

The stories were always rather simplistic and rarely held any high level of quality or excitement, but Christopher Gorham and Keegan Connor Tracy kept me watching till I had finished the series.

It was cancelled after 16 episodes, and this is one of the rare cases where I can understand why it was axed.

Ugly Betty

I had to see what all the fuss was about. I’ve seen four episodes so far, and it’s a fun show, don’t know if I’ll be calling it great anytime soon, but it’s definitely enjoyable. Personally I don’t really think the show needs the whole conspiracy storyline, as following Betty in her daily trials is entertainment enough for me.
I’ll be continuing watching, as it provides some lighter fare amongst the other shows I follow.
