Maja couldn't watch... TV shows

Hello my lovelies! I thought it was about time I did another 'Maja watches/reads/listens' post... most of you seem to like them and I like writing them, so here we go. ;) Today I thought I'd do one about TV shows I just couldn't watch. These are shows I started watching with high hopes but they ended up disappointing me or just didn't intrigue me enough. This is just my personal opinion so don't be offended, if these are one of your favorite TV shows. :)

FRINGE

I started watching fringe last year. I downloaded the first season and actually enjoyed quite a few episodes but then it just started to get so damn complicated and weird. And I'm a girl who loves sci-fi, vampires, werewolfs and all that jazz... but this was just something that I didn't get or at least didn't get along with. I loved the cast, especially Joshua Jackson and John Noble and I loved the way they interacted with one another... but the whole plot/story line was just a bit much for me so I stopped watching it before the first season even ended (I don't know, maybe it got better later, but I probably won't try to find out any time soon).

REVENGE

So many people love or are even obsessed with Revenge but I just couldn't wrap my head around it. I thought it was an awesome TV show, it had (still has) a great IMDB score, so I downloaded a few episodes to see what all the excitement was about. I'm sad to say I didn't even make it through the first episode. I just found it very confusing. I understand it's supposed to be mysterious and of course about revenge, but I feel it's a bit too mysterious so you basically don't know who's who and what's what most of the time... Now, you're probably thinking - Maja, you just watched one episode, not even that and you're saying it's bad?! I know, I know... but I have seen a few more episodes here and there on television and it's still the same - you don't really know what's going on. Plus the whole plotting and scheming all the time is just annoying. I just don't like it... :)

NEW GIRL

I was in love with this show all throughout the first season. I found it hilarious and very original. I loved the chemistry between Nick and Jess and the whole '3 guys living with 1 girl' thing... it was awesome. The kiss scene between Nick and Jess deserves a 'best kiss award' or something but unfortunately... it all went down hill after that. After Nick and Jess got together (which I was all for) everything got a bit weird... and not in a funny, good way. Then the whole Cece not marrying that guy because she was in love with Schmidt, but he was with his ex... I don't know, it just kind of fell apart for me. And not just the relationships, the lines weren't as good and it became more stupid than funny. So... I stopped watching it. Such a shame, I think the show really had potential to be something amazing.

 

TOMORROW PEOPLE

I was really excited about this new CW show. Of all the new ones that were coming this one seemed the most interesting and original. Unfortunately it turned out to be quite a disappointment for me. And it's not even that the show is terrible or anything like that, there's just something missing... The acting isn't all that great, the chemistry is a bit flimsy and the whole plot/story line becomes a bit boring. This could be such an exciting, action/romance packed TV show, but somehow they didn't capture that. It seems to be more about certain characters and their memories, fatherless childhood and all that depressing stuff. I tried watching it for as long as I could, but then I just gave up. :)



 

THE CLIENT LIST

I have a huge girl crush on Jeniffer Love Hewitt so I just had to check out this show. I really liked the Ghost Whisperer, even though it wasn't all that amazing, it was a nice, one could even say family show - always a happy ending. The Client List however has some other happy endings in mind... if you know what I mean. :) I always found Jennifer Love Hewitt to be a very 'womanly' woman, very sexy and just gorgeous, so I thought she would be perfect for a show like this. And it turned out she is/was. I thoroughly enjoyed the first season of it, even though it was a mediocre show at best, I found it very interesting and fresh. But as soon as the first season ended and the second one started, it all went down hill... I also read that it was being canceled after the second season, so I decided to drop it there and leave with good memories of the first season.



 

WITCHES OF EAST END

This is a new TV show, it aired last year and it's only on its 2nd season. I discovered it recently and decided to give it a go... I kind of liked the pilot, it was interesting, especially when I saw Jenna Dewan Tatum was playing one of the main characters. The two brothers are also mighty fine and the whole witching thing got me interested so I decided to watch a couple more episodes and see where it takes me. Unfortunately I soon discovered it wasn't all that good. The acting is really, really bad and I mean REALLY BAD. I find Julia Ormond's strange ameri-english accent terribly annoying. Special effects are horrible and when I take all these things into account, the two brothers just aren't hot enough for me to keep on watching this show. :) I tried, really I did... I just can't.


What do you think of these TV shows? Which ones have you found hard to watch or simply couldn't watch?
