Wasteland

I saw the first few episodes of this when it was broadcast in prime time and loved it. 20 somethings living in NYC and dealing with real issues, prejudice in the workplace, comimg out, getting past one night stands and into relationships.

As a gay man myself, I was particularly interested in Russ, a soap actor who was struggling with coming out. Also the other male principals, Dan Montgomery Jr and Brad Rowe are easy on the eye and were both very cool about having a good friend who's gay.

This series had a LOT of promise and I was upset to see it end. I recently caught the episodes that I missed on Cable and I would recommend it to others.

Wasteland is more than just your average television series, it is beyond most shows with its up-and-coming actors and actresses living in New York with a Kevin Williamson style. I taped the first episode and I was surprised at how interesting this show really is. Playing the naive and pure Dawnie, Marisa Coughlan does a wonderful job and her character is truly believable. I think that this show will really boost her career as a serious actress. We also rarely see Rebecca Gayheart in a sweet and flirtatious role. I think a lot of people will really enjoy this show no matter how old you are. I am in my teens and I still enjoy the show because it is weird to wonder what they must be going through and that I could possibly be like that when I am in my late twenties. ABC did a good move when they picked up "Wasteland," for their fall lineup.

I was kind of looking forward to seeing this show, so I decided to tune in to the series premiere. It definitely has potential to be watchable, maybe not in a "I'll tape it if I am not at home" kind of way, but I could watch it if I was sitting at home on a Thursday night with nothing else to do.

The characters are interesting, but must they always give the Southern character a horrible accent? If the actress can't do it, it is ok, we don't all talk like we fell off of a cotton truck. Really, we don't.

The only thing on this show that I really hated was the way the scenes changed. The quick views of NYC that transition are a way overused technique, and don't seem to quite fit this show, one that isn't fast paced like an ER for example. In the case of this show, the transitions only gave me a headache.

2 1/2 stars out of 5.. for average.

This Show is on now for the first time here in Portugal, and I'm loving it. I've never liked Dawson's Creek though.. and for what I've read here they're both from the same director. Well i don't care about that. It just seemed cool when i first watched it.. and now that the story is getting so involving I'm loving it even more!! I just hope there were more than 13 episodes.. since it's already in 11th :(

I watched the first two episodes expecting allot from Mr.Williamson, whom I'm a big fan of.I didnt see any of his wit cool writing or pop culture references here.I just saw a bunch of characters moving through the motions. Obviously allot of people think simular thoughts since the show is doing terrible. I remember this problem with the first season of Melrose.Theres no antagonist to stur things up and its basically just a bunch of people whining about life.And to think they used to think that Thirtsomething was whiny.At least that was well written.Whats up with the story about the girl being hasseled about her accent.Do I hear harrasment in the workplace. Give me a break. Id like to see this show survive but it needs some reworking. Oh did I mention that everyone was pretty? That was the best part of the show.
