Considering how the series ends, with the heroine opening a new chapter in her life, we can all assume the story can be rebooted at any moment. Unfortunately it never was, but it didn't end on a cliffhanger either, which is why the show can still be seen as a mini-series. Darren Starr, the David E. Kelley of 90s soap, before Shonda Rhimes stole both their styles, and called it her own. Produced the show, and it shows (...). It was a mix of all his previous work, only not as dramatic and with the early 2000s aesthetic and casting call (I could've done without some of the « guests », though...). Alicia Silverstone was a great choice for the lead, I even imagine Kate Fox being her character on Clueless, after years of studying law (Cher Horowitz wanted to become a lawyer, just like her father too...). And really, the lip twitch don't lie... I guess NBC was scared of losing their viewership, since Friends was ending the same year, so they doubled up the amount of shows more in tune with its demographics. And I appreciated the gesture, which is why this and Las Vegas are to this day, two of my favorite new shows of 2003. Unfortunately, Silverstone's 90s hit girl charm didn't cut it, and « Miss Match » was pulled off the air, before finishing its run. Maybe people thought it was too similar to Ally McBeal, or SATC even too. I don't know, but those who love these titles, will surely love this one too. And be reminded how shows could be socially aware, without falling into antagonistic speech. Check it on YouTube.
