First of all congrats with season 3! I have read a lot of positive and some negative things about this show. Sure this show has received critical acclaim but I want to hear it from you guys. Why should I start watching season 1? And what's in it for me?
Thanks!! |

you poor thing! no one has responded to your post! hopefully, you still check this thing. season one is definitely a treasure as far as anything produced on television in a long time. the reason why it is so damn special is because it shows real people dealing with extraordinary situations. although they're human and imperfect, at the same time, they demonstrate extraordinary strength, courage, love, and loyalty that is hardly seen on network television. a lot of "average viewers" don't like the show because nothing "good" happens. well, reality is harsh. that just goes to show the escapist mindset a lot of viewers have yet the irony is, reality TV is so popular. i mean, what's that all about? psst...because reality tv is not really reality.
anyway, season one is very special. it's only $20 at target. i think it's the slowest moving item on the shelf too so, i wouldn't worry about it going out of stock...well, if you live in texas, that might be a different story. OH...another truly special thing about the series is that it shoots in a real community and a lot of the extras are people that live in the town. another thing i could say is...if you are among the few who is a fan of arrested development, i would say the loyalty of the fan base is equivalent to that. season two of friday night lights definitely had issues and a lot of original fans were disappointed, including myself. but...i still have faith in the writers though. they owe it to the wonderful actors to redeem the show that so many, yet so few fans have grown to love. |
