It's actually good. I'm not sure if I'd like it as a series. It would have been better as a one season thing. Also, I would have rather they pick up something new. 2 Vampire Shows on the same network is too much...and it's a spin-off. Several critics seemed to like the pilot as well.
My happy and sad list for renewal/cancellation so far: Happy: - Defiance (Numbers were dropping and they didn't seem good for a high budget/concept show. You've done good Sci..I mean SyFy) - Orphan Black (I wasn't sure what would be considered a success for BBC America since they are new in original scripted series) - Nikita (This could have gotten cancelled but renewal was sort of expected) - Parenthood (It was guaranteed renewal but could have ended up being cancelled.) - Parks & Recreation (Same as above) - The Carrie Diaries (Surprise renewal of the season. Fun light show..need more of that.)
Waiting: - Community (Even though I did not like much of this season, there was some improvement in later episodes and a final season would be nice.) - Hannibal - ABC shows
Sad: - Go On - Southland (Last episode was a good series ender but it could have gotten another season to have a final season feel.)
I have not watched Sex and the City but have heard from some fans that they liked Carrie Diaries. Also, some people who did not like Sex and the City liked The Carrie Diaries more. You should give it a try if you like stuff like Parenthood and Switched at Birth. It's a great show, imo. :)
Add Happy Endings to that sad list. :( RENEW IT USA!
Having seen a little of CD and all of S+tC, I think the reason what you say is true is that Carrie Diaries is just nothing like S+tC at all. They change nearly everything about the character, for one thing. And the shows are just very different. Carrie is a teenage rom-com. S+tC is raunchy, comedic social commentary with a few love stories (and a few not so love stories).
I think in order to enjoy Carrie Diaries, I need to completely forget it's supposed to be the same character and enjoy it like S+tC never existed.

ReplyDeleteSpin-offs are hardly ever great. Frasier. That's it.
DeleteHow can you not watch?!? It was interesting!! Elena did go through some torment this week tho.
ReplyDeleteI hope to God it's picked up so the originals can leave mystic falls
DeleteLol you can skip that episode and the whole series when it airs in the fall. And that's coming from an obsessed fan like me. It was torture.
ReplyDeletehahahaha, thanks

I'm kind of mad Carrie Diaries got renewed because I feel like now I have to watch it. PARENTHOOD YAYY.
DeleteCommunity was renewed!
Not sad about Go On. Devastated about Southland.

NBC needs to renew Hannibal. It's too good!

I still like Rebekah & Elijah...Klaus? Not so much =)
ReplyDeleteKilling Klaus in the backdoor pilot is the only thing that would have made me watch it.
DeleteYeah, it was just as bad as you'd expect it to be. And Klaus is going to be a father (lol)
ReplyDeleteWhy would anyone ever inflict that on even a fictional world? UGHHHH
DeleteDid you already see the trailer of the Arrested Development season 4?
ReplyDeleteIT'S GOING TO BE AWESOME!!!!!

I need to check that show out. It's on my long list of shows to catch up on.
DeleteGo and watch it, all the seasons are on Netflix and the new one will be released on May 26th.
DeleteAnd when you watch it give it at least ten episodes because it takes some time before you realize why this is one of the best shows ever.
:D
