Finally got round to watching ABC's new comedy Suburgatory and I am thinking that i might just watch all the episodes Iv'e missed in one because its that good. Think Emma Stone in Easy A taken out of her comfort zone and placed into well the suburbs of NYC! And that's what this show is!
Ok it helps that the leading girl Tessa played by Jane Levy kinda looks like Emma Stone and has the same coolness factor probably as her but that's probably what they were going for when they were casting this show. Tessa is just very New York in her attitude, e.g. I have been brought up to be an individual why should I change myself to fit in, and of course I agree completely with this attitude so i really love this character, and kinda would like to be as cool as her.
What i love most about this show possibly though is how ever cliché about the people in the suburbs is heightened to a scary stepfordness. Cheryl Hines is hilarious as Dallas, she reminds me a little bit of Amy Pholer in Mean Girls as lead mean girl Regina's mum, probably not as desperate but defiantly as fake. Her daughter Dalia (is the right way its spelt, not sure) is just so bland boring and robot like that she had me kinda in stitches, or maybe it was the fact in the most monotone way possible that she says exactly what she like. Imagine Cordelia Chase constantly glued to a mobile phone and not learning how to make expressions in her voice, i assume that's how we would get Dalia
George played by Jeremy Sisto is going to have it hard, single man quite attractive, he will be eaten up by all the single ladies, and well the married ones probably too. This of course is going to make for some excellent comedy. At first I was a little concerned about Sisto in a comedy I have only really seen him in Six Feet Under and that's so far from comedy in unreal, and his character in that had Bipolar I think, if not sorry its been a while since i watched it. However I am pleasantly surprised by this lighter role he has taken on.
So I am off to watch more of this series and I think you all should to! :D
