Before you read on this might be spoilery for you, it depends on how much you have seen from the promos etc.
I have been most excited about this show to air, not just because of the fact the Sarah Michelle Gellar was coming back to a TV leading role but also because i could not work out what the hell it was actually about. Thankfully the pilot episode did give me answers, and also gave me a lot more questions, mind you what can you expect out of TV these days.
Ringer isn't really like any TV show i have experienced before, when they said its very noir inspired they were not kidding. I guess the best way to describe it from me is that it has the feel of a TV movie thriller. Not that its bad because its far from there but because it feels like I am watching a movie yet of course there are too many characters and production is not movie standard so its like a TV movie.
The Mains
The characters that SMG plays, Bridget & Siobhan, are both very interesting in their own ways. Bridget seems to have all her issues open and well easy to see. Siobhan on the other hand I can not understand yet anything about her. I have enjoying though watching Bridget be Siobhan and getting very confused by her sisters life.
The Men
The men seem very interesting but are very much the support at the minute, I am looking forward to finding out more about Andrew (Ioan Gruffudd), who plays Siobhan's husband, mainly because I dont quite understand their relationship yet it seems more like a business deal. I am also excited about more interactions between Victor (Nestor Carbonell) and Bridget/Bridget as Siobhan, I might be premature on this but i kinda ship them already, however I'm not too sure if i should be shipping any characters together on this show. Not too fussed about Henry (Kristoffer Polaha) he just seems to be there to be Siobhan's lover or Gemma's husband. Last but not least Malcom (Mike Colter) needs to get himself to NYC to become more of the story, maybe he can work together with Victor to help Bridget, I see that as a potential friendship.
The Supporting
Which brings me to the other females on this show Siobhan's best friend and lovers husband Gemma (Tara Summers), and the bratty drug fiend step daughter Juliet (Zoey Duetch). I am not a fan of Juliet already she seems out of place on this show, I mean she belongs on the CW but shes the only thing CW about this show. Gemma seems interesting, I think she will be more of a friend to Bridget then Siobhan, my theory is Bridget will tell her who she really is and what happened and Gemma will help her, she seems like that kinda woman.
Well thats my thoughts on this pilot episode, to check out whats in store next week on Ringer the promo is just below:
