Dilema

I don't know if it was intentional to be this corny but it was. Should have been aired on Lifetime Channel as that is what it felt like I was watching it on. Very cliche storylines, horrible acting and far fetched plots to move the story along. Renée, you can do better than this!!

It's one of those so-bad it's... enjoyable shows. The way it's shot, the dialogue... it's all so cringeworthy. Some characters are followed for no reason at all, and they all feel shallow and unreal. Still, if you watch this as a parody of bad soap-opera like television, it could be a load of fun.

When Zellweger's not on screen, What/If is a mostly empty, broad strokes neo-noir soap, frothy and forgettable. When she appears, it's still all of those things-- but dear lord, please pass the popcorn.

I wanted to like this but unfortunately I've wasted nearly 10 hours of my life. As someone else wrote, you feel like you're watching three different shows and none of them were worth watching. This show should have focused on the biotech story rather than branching off into tangents thinly held together by minor actors.

Think of all the amazing things you could do with 10 hours, and then do those things instead.

The only good thing about this is seeing Renee Zellweger in a role that is so unlike her and she pulls it off well. Until somewhere into the 4th or 5th episode they turn her into a caricature. Then it all goes downhill. The subplots had zero to add to the story. Coul've turned out better. Unfortunately it didn't. Worth watching while doing the laundry 'cause you have the TV on anyway. Not something to sit and watch and give it your full-on time and attention.
