I'm liking The River so far.

Aww s***, I forgot since I don't watch much ABC...is it worth DVRing? I see one of the creators is Oren Peli, the guy who did Paranormal Activity. Not sure if I think that is good or bad, honestly.

It's just got the same style.

 

The first hour (episode) was good, the second wasn't as good. It's a procedural set in a mystery/adventure setting, or so it seems. Are they really going to have one magic/ghost storyline every episode? If so that's kind of lame. I thought it was going to just be a long story. Overall I'd give it a B-.

 

Alcatraz from this week wasn't really much different. I guess it gave a little more back story, but typical Abrams it just created more questions than answers. Both of these shows i'll continue to watch, but only because there's nothing else on. I don't think either are all that good.

Pretty much what Jenks said. I'd DVR it. That is, unless you have a ton of other stuff you're trying to catch up on.

There is ONE show and its Glee, which is terrible. Just the worst. I hate it with a passion. It in no way represents the reality of "theatre people". Smash does - which is cool to watch. I will admit that those not in the theatre industry may not give a s*** one way or the other. :P

 

One thing we can agree is fabulous...Katherine McPhee has an outstanding booty. And eyes you can go swimming in.

I thought River was decent enough.

 

In terms of the story, I think that ultimately there is going to be a connection between episode 1 and 2.

 

Trying to put some abstract ideas together, my guess is that there is something related to the British robber barons, the Mountains and what ever the "Source" is.

 

The ghosts etc are likely manifestations/curses resulting from whatever the British were doing in the 19th century

I turned the River off 20 minutes into the second hour. The whiny wife and gullible characters just didn't do it for me. Too many clashes and extremes (I HAVE TO FILM THIS or WE CAN'T LEAVE). It also doesn't need to be found footage. It just adds a layer of implausibility while making it hard to watch. They pretty much wrote it like a regular show with flashbacks and everything.

It's got to draw the ignorant masses in with the first few episodes. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt for now.
