Being Eve

This series claims to be an original teenage comedy/slice of life show, but in truth, it is anything but. There is nothing humourous about this "comedy", which only has a vague connection to teenage reality, and it would only be original if it was done decades ago. If there is anything to be learned from "Being Eve", it is that New Zealand needs fresh, talented blood in its television writing department, and it needs it *now*.

At first, sure, the show, "Being Eve", can be considered boring, far-fetched maybe even a flop, but it also has many merits! When I started watching the show it was only to fill time, but as I viewed episode after episode it became more interesting. I was glad to see that unlike so many other shows it was continual. Instead of finishing an episode with a problem that was forgotten by the next show it kept them, which is somewhat similar to life.

Eve is faced with many problems and has to deal with them as do the teens in reality. So many shows that claim to deal with all the teen issues leave out some of the small yet important problems youths are faced with. And "Being Eve" also provides a light-humour on the subjects, which helps young people, like myself, see the lighter sides of their troubles.

In the episode in which I became hooked, Eve was abandoned and left to be an individual and I truly felt what it was like "Being Eve" just as it feels being a teen!

I stumbled across this show by accident about two months ago, and have been hooked ever since. Sure, it's a pretty goofy show in general, but it's definitely entertaining. And predictable? Well, most teen life shows are, but the strangeness to the show makes it different. Go Eve!

I watch this show via "The N" in the US, and it is refreshing to see a well written show opposed to the trash that is created for the teenage age group in the states. Fleur Saville portrays an awkward, confused 15 year old to a "T" , and though the plots are somewhat far-fetched, they are not entirely unbelievable as the cast has the acting ability to pull them off. Definitely worth watching; can't wait for the second season.

I thought this show was very well written. I like the new type of view it has, its not like stupid topics or anything. Eve makes good points that teens can relate to and isn't some strange teenager we never see. In some shows you watch you think "hey what kind of show is this, I've never met people like them", but this show you can relate to in some way or another. But basically I just want to say I do enjoy this show and would recommend it to another people.
