Very recently I watched the first season of this American Sitcom comedy
series, and I wanted to write a review. Well, the whole thing was kind of
weird. What that means?
I started watching it, and after 2-3 episodes
I left it aside. I found it not worth my attention and my time. But a few days
later I started watching it again, and then I found it better. Maybe because it
needs some time for one to get to know the characters, the environment, the way
of humor, and so on.
The series is about a community college and what is going on with a
certain company there. This company consists of an ex-lawyer, (that was kicked
out when they found that his diploma was fake), and now he is attending this
university in order to take an original diploma, a former drug addict, a former
quarter-back, a single mother, a film student, and a so-called millionaire.
(The pleasant surprise is that Chevy Chase is playing the role of the
millionaire). Starting the first year, Jeff Winger (the former lawyer), starts
a study group with the people I just mentioned, only because he wants to be
close to a beautiful student. (Brita Perry). That of course is only the main
idea, and as the episodes commence more and more characters are slowly slowly added.
This first
season consists of 25 episodes of an average 20 minutes each. It is a light comedy,
and it gets better as the episodes goes by. The rating that it has in IMDB is
8.8, but my opinion is that it has been much too overrated. I wouldn’t give
more than 7.00, no way!
In this video you can watch the
trailer for the first season.
I'm watching it too. I'm almost in the middle of the second season. It is very clever but has movie references all the time, so if one is not familiar loses a lot. Abed is my favorite character .
ReplyDeleteYes, I forgot to mention the movie references! And they are very nice! From the first season I think the best (and most difficult to film) episode was the one with the paintball.
DeleteI watched all the three seasons and liked the series a lot although I have to agree that towards the end of 3rd season it gets kind of boring. But still you can have a laugh. My favorite character would also be Abed :)
