Wasteland

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.

I saw this show on network TV when it came out. I tuned in because Kevin Williamson wrote it and I think he's great. I was expecting the worst--a show about whiny 20 somethings--but I was pleasantly surprised. It was written and acted and had (for TV) a realistically played gay guy (Don Montgomery Jr. was great--and very handsome). Also the scene where he came out to his friend was (for TV) pretty bold. He tells him when they're taking a shower at the gym! U get a look at a extras butt and Montgomery ALMOST shows everything when his towel swings off. To be honest I'm surprised they got away with that. And his friend is very accepting. Just great.

It was pulled due to low ratings--they SAID it would return with changes. Naturally we never saw it again. No classic but very good. Worth seeing--if you can.

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.
