I see by the other review here, a confirmation that some people really go for this, as I surmised. The show couldn't have lasted so long without a solid fan-base. With my regular postings here, I'm pretty sure I must rank as a staunch critic of the show. But just like this Other Reviewer, I am also aware of the glitz and the glamor and the thrills and the fun. It's just that, as is the way with network television, the project gets handed over to different 'executors', and every scriptwriter adds his or her new flavor, and the whole thing becomes a heady mix, a stew peppered with too much spice, and even this Other Reviewer here refers to the unforgivable Season 2...
Not a show to take serious? Believe you me, this one, the plot unravels as it goes along with the tiger catching it's own tail and gagging on it! If the Graysons were dumb clucks, maybe then, but even then, they'd have had to be very dumb clucks. Point is, somebody like Conrad, and somebody like Victoria, they'd have figured the scheme of things out back in Season One.
Doesn't change the appeal, though. As the Other Reviewer attests.
Everything here is every bit entertaining, make no mistake. I find that Nolan has fizzled out, his quirks now sound flat and without sparkle. The whole thing with Patrick really ruined the character. Okay, that's my opinion. But you won't be able to deny that Gabriel Mann's performance is way, way down.
Emily Vancamp gives a very convincing performance right down to a hunted, cornered look. Her whole mission is in the balance, and her portrayal of bewilderment is something to behold.
Some others are just not in that class. Stephanie Jacobson, as Niko, for one. And, oh, please, I can't say the original Mrs. Grayson is what the already overcrowded show needs.
Hey. Christa, where's Christa? Unlike in the summary provided here by kgv vissers, no sign of Charlotte (I watch on DVD).
