This was good but far more hyped than necessary. The movie was soooo long without any need to be. Of course the music and dancing was good and the storyline is a tale as old as time. A young woman being judged on her looks and attempts to bring her down because of her intelligence and beliefs. It's like a childish buddy movie that goes wrong. Glinda is mean but then friendly and kind and helpful because of course she is pretty and popular but then doesn't want to upset the powers that be and tries to talk elphaba into going along causing the break between them. Story to be continued because over 2 and half hours wasn't enough!

Gave this the first three episodes but I can't do it. It is just a bad soap opera. No real story just a lot of everyone looking for sex, love or a buddy. Not sure if it's a rehash of the love boat or what but it's nowhere near as good. The actors are pretty generic with no standouts-not even Don Johnson. He can't do the happy jolly captain or the stern commander of the ship....he just kinda floats through the scenes. The owner (?) CEO or whatever she is is a jersey girl rip off and pushes the bitchy bad girl to hard. And yet "so help me Todd" was cancelled and was so much better. Who the heck makes these decisions for the networks?

Nothing new here except the actors. Same corrupt small town that gets away with everything from intimidation to theft and just keeps on going year after year. Along comes a guy they can't intimidate and of course all hell breaks loose and a shoot out brings it to conclusion with that rare few cops who step up to help the newcomer because they are tired of the corruption even though they participated in it for years but were to fearful of the current leader to stand up to it. Not great but not awful. My personal opinion is that they should get that young man Aaron Pierre ( the lead) into some better movies. I liked his quiet strong character and those eyes are killer. Hope to see more of him. The young lady ( summer?) reminds me of a young holly hunter and also has a bright future. Good luck to both.
