Slightly OT because it’s TV. Watching my last hours of Paramount+
Guilty Party: Kate Beckinsale plays a discredited journalist in Denver. I follow her IG because Greg suggested it and it’s quite entertaining, unlike this series. Eps are under a half hour but it felt like two. Look, I love Kate’s IG but here she’s plays a blonde and does an American accent. I luv her Brit accent.
The show is supposed to be funny, one of those ‘everyone is despicable’ sitcoms. It opens with some graphic violence, then we meet Kate who lies too much and ends up unsympathetic. She’s washed up, working for a fluff entertainment paper run by kids half her age when she wants to do hard hitting reporting. Then she meets a woman in jail who claims to be innocent of murdering some dude - the violent bit at the beginning.
I got through the first ep but not the second. There are 3 up and maybe more on the way.
iCarly: a reboot of a Nickelodeon show that I used to watch with Tara that reassembles the cast all except the best character Sam. Turns out that actress was horribly abused by her family and left the biz. She played 2nd fiddle in the show. After iCarly, she did a spin-off called Sam & Cat. Cat was Ariana Grande.
The original sitcom was about a gal who did her own web show, an oddly premonitional premise. The reboot was allegedly a more adultified version, but no. It was exactly the same, right down to the laugh track. Most of the cast has aged but the lead, Miranda Cosgrove, looks almost the same although her face seems strangely larger. The stilted humor timing made me bail like 10 mins in.
I shoulda just watched Star Trek reruns.
