Rebecca Ingersoll-Rand Kirchner-Sinclair has delivered!
This is what the kids want! 1975 era depictions of virginity loss and alcohol abuse! Are you listening Gossip Girl? OC, you got canceled cos you didn't realize this!
The first half of the show is three of the four main girls strutting in slow motion eating ice cream. Then Annie, who had the only interesting conflict (and only for the last two shots of the season finale) finally shows up, looking for the dude she killed, who of course, has no name. If only all DUI's could be that way! All you get for killing a dude is some bad feelings. There's no one to answer to! Well, at least until Annie's life is going well and out of the blue dude's wife and kids show up in an amazing plot twist! I literally did not see that coming!
The show is the definition of obvious easy conflicts. No one will listen to Annie, Everyone hates her, everyone is unsure of their relationships (Silver's texting Ethan! Naomi's new man is married! Naveed wants to Fuck!), and no one listens to anyone.
90201 was never anything special, even the original. The difference is since then we've gotten some really good 'teen' shows between now and then. The bar is raised, and we've seen all of this before.
Maybe Melrose Place will shine into something nice?
