Mystery Girls

Wow, this was worse than I could have ever imagined. I watched the pilot which didn't explain much in the way of setting, plot and characters. There was a major lack of "mystery" or anything detective related, in fact when met with anything remotely close to solving something, they were both dumbfounded. I found this show to elevate the "dumb blonde" stereotype and I wouldn't want any girl to watch it, for fear they may be influenced. Just bad all around, bad writing, acting and forced jokes. The addition of fake laughter for every bad joke was over the top. Making it through the pilot was painful, I would be surprised if this show continued.

Firstly, anyone who criticizes multi-camera sitcoms for having "fake laughs" knows nothing about how television gets made. Mystery Girls is taped in front of a studio audience. Real laughs from real people. If you think laughter is "fake," then you're probably the kind of joyless person who watches a lot of television by yourself with your hand down your pants.

On to the show, if you're open minded, pop-culture obsessed, and you enjoy multi-cam sitcoms, you will probably enjoy MG. If you're all of those things AND a 90210 fan from the 90s, this show is made for you. It's comfort television. Turn off your brain for 30 minutes and relax - you're in good hands. You'll be pleasantly surprised by how dirty and fun this show can be (definitely not for kids) - Miguel Pinzon is genuinely hysterical as the fan turned assistant.

While the premise of a "TV" detective turned detective isn't entirely original (see Conan O'Brien and Robert Smigel's hilarious one-and-done Lookwell pilot starring Adam West from 1991, on YouTube), the execution and style of MG is completely its own.

And finally, watch with real friends. TV is meant to be shared.

If you are courageous enough to see past the 3 first episodes (now I'm watching the 6th) you might find yourself relaxing while let it play on a big screen TV.

This isn't by any means a show worth watching, but I wouldn't call it terrible. The humour is silly (or worst) but here and there, there are some good almost clever jokes.

The plot? It's about two actresses turned to some kind of detectives. Too flamboyant and too naive but they get the job done in the end.

Overall: can't recommend it, but I don't think anyone should hate it either. It is what it is and it's honest to its intentions.

1 for awful really suits this TV show. This has super recipe to make show be as annoying as it can be. It has characters / actress that are unbearable to watch, when you see them, you literally scream just to shut them. The jokes aren't there, they really do not exist, just one person is trying to say something funny and second one is opposing everything. There is no develop, no story, nothing. Don't make the mistake i did to watch this, just pass. You will save yourself 20 minutes of your life. Honestly i don't even know what did i expect from this, because normal human would just turn this off after 1 minute. Even doing the review for this show is waste of time.

This was hands down the worst pilot i have ever seen. I had read the comments but saw it anyway thinking "come on it couldn't be THAT bad".. it was even worse.... So first of all.. TERRIBLE terrible terrible writing. Not just terrible writing, but a terrible IDEA too!! They could have the best actors saying those lines and they still would sound awful. So i am not even sure it is fair to judge the rest, but i will since they agreed to participate in what can only turn out as to be THE career wrecking series.. The acting itself was terrible. Disappointed and there was no chemistry at all between the 2 leading actresses. Oh and did i mention there was nothing interesting going on ? too bad...
