Eastwick

This is a pretty entertaining show, especially coming from a network known for throwing dull, whiny shows out there like Brothers and Sisters and it's latest clone, Modern Family. So naturally, I was pretty bummed to hear that ABC is canning this one. The story lines are great, often mixing serious supernatural situations with some humorous touches to lighten it up a bit and all of the actors all well cast (Paul Gross in particular is a funny slimy riot as Darryl Van Horn). I guess the only set back was the ridiculous 10 p.m.(EST) time-slot (aka "death slot") on Wednesday that ABC put this show into. It seems the network had little faith in this show to start with so they tanked it's chances of succeeding by showing it mid-week when most folks have to get up early the next day for work/school. Pity. I think if the CW or even NBC had this one, it would've had a chance.

It has been a long time since I've given a show a try and fallen in love so quickly...before the first half hour finished! The cast works amazing together, they're very believable in their roles....and not just the main roles.

It's light and dark at the same time. My only complaint was that some of the commercial breaks weren't quite long enough for me to dart to the bathroom. I feared I might explode before the end, but I didn't want to miss even a second! I can easily see myself waiting on the edge of my seat after the finale. I'm already itchy for next week. I hope they can keep up the 'oomph' that the pilot has! Way to go, it's certainly a winner!

I was skeptical when I first saw the previews. I thought, "This looks like The Witches of Eastwick." Which, it turned out, it was. I immediately wondered how on earth they would be able to drag the story out long enough to create a series. I'm also not the biggest fan of Rebecca Romijn, and wasn't sure if they would destroy the love I have for Jack Nicholson in the role of Darryl in the film - but I had nothing to worry about. Rebecca is hilarious and Paul Gross is brilliant as Darryl. Granted, my expectations were low for the pilot, and I was surprised at how much I loved it. These actors work well together, their relationships are believable, and some of the lines have made me laugh pretty hard - all adding up to a good time. I am thoroughly enjoying the series so far - and I hope it continues to be as good as it has been.

Yes, at times the story is predictable and some characters are cliché, but the show is straight-up fun to watch. There's plenty of "girls nights," embarrassing situations, fun flirtations and female empowerment. The writers have managed to developed interesting, likable leading female characters, each with their own quirks and unique perspectives.

The magic portrayed in each episode is subtle enough that it could possibly be seen as coincidence, which is a nice touch. My only qualm so far is that there aren't any well-developed and likable male leads. However, definitely give Eastwick a chance. At least watch the first few episodes, they are much better than the pilot. They just might get you hooked!!!!

You can't compare it to Charmed, it's different. Eastwick has it's own aura that's very enjoyable to watch. Following the lives of 3 young women in the small town of Eastwick, this series contains drama, mystery, humor and sexy ladies for bonus. The characters are very likable especially Lindsay Price, she is very cute and gorgeous to watch. And another thing that caught my eyes, is how beautiful the set is, very nice design give it a small town spooky look.

It has some flaw, but definitely not a bad show at all, and was disappointed they cut it off. I enjoyed watching it, and maybe you will too.
