The signature of How I Met Your Mother's pilot was, "Have you met Ted?"
The signature of this show? A canned laugh track. Every show in HIMYM had a novel feature to it that made it unique whether it was a pineapple or a new code. This one had nada.
I wanted this to be good, but I didn't laugh once during the pilot and I didn't see anything that would carry it further.
I like Hilary Duff and Kim Cattrall; they have been better in better shows. But they cut to Kim continuously and that throws off any rhythm that they had. Also each scene seems cramped, from the opening Uber to her meeting with her friend, it seems like they are a bunch of close talkers. All dialogue scenes were rushed too, like they had to fit the entire first draft into the 23 minutes.
It's too bad. It's hard to catch lightning in a bottle, but this premise could have worked with better writing, acting and direction.
