On this show. This is my first time through.
I know Krauss from Sports Night .. Hall from Dexter.
I know the mom as Barney's mom in HIMYM. And the daughter was in one of my favorite guilty pleasure movies Can't Hardly Wait.
This show was made pre Katrina, 2001 to 2005, so it is a bit dated, so I am taking that into consideration but not faulting it for that at all.
Krauss I like. And initially I liked his love interest.
It was this episode I started to not care for her.
Hall..this episode had good hints of Dexter rage, but wasn't quite natural yet. Felt a bit forced.
The daughter...I don't like the actress nor the character. May skip ahead whenever she's on screen.
And I didn't care for the mom when she was on HIMYM and I don't care for her here. I'm sure she plays the part right in this, just don't like her.
I rated episodes 1 to 3 a 6 star. They're fine. Could have been 5's...but 6 is fine. Nothing too memorable. A fine scene here and there.
This episode had some scenes I liked, but I had to weigh it againsty realization of who and what I'm liking and disliking about the show.
This episode has a few flares that went up that tinged it more negative than neutral/positive.
So weighing the positives of this episode vs the negatives...I couldn't do a 6 again...and 5 was too close to 6. Had to give it a 4. We'll see if the things that bothere get worse...stay where they are or reverse themselves.
And this is the problem with giving an episode an overall rating. I really liked Hall showing his anger in the diner, even if it wasn't his best. But I had to give the episode a 4 overall even with a good solid scene like that.
I write reviews like this so when I review it years later, I can do a little digging and get some more meat toy review than simply a numberbetween 1 and 10.
