revolution, gossip girl & switched @ birth…………
Balaji K, What about Revolution has you giving up on it already?
A couple of weeks back, I posted what I thought about the pilot. After that I had it on a short leash. I watched the second and third episodes. Charlie is so annoying that I feel like punching her face in every episode. Danny is forgettable. The Google millionaire and the English woman are annoying. None of the characters (except for Esposito and Burke) are even remotely interesting. Lots of things didn’t make sense. There’s a major twist in the third episode and it did nothing for me. Only interesting parts are the flashbacks to the immediate aftermath of the blackout. The show should have been about that.
The above is just my opinion though. Lots of people seem to like the show, which is evident in it’s high rating. It also has to do with the post-Voice slot. I reckon this will end up like “The Event.”
