First off, I’d like to apologize for my hiatus in the blogosphere. But here’s my philosophy: if you’ve got nothing good to say, keep your mouth shut.*
With that said, let’s take a look at a show that really needs to shut its trap. I must say I was pretty excited to watch Trust Me initially. The show was hyped up to be the modern day Mad Men, and Eric McCormack with Tom Cavanaugh seemed like the ultimate duo (don’t they look creepily alike?)
And I tried. I tried so hard to like the show. I tuned in for the first four episodes and watched as Cavanaugh spit out one liners faster than the girls on Gilmore Girls used to talk. And for McCormack, I can’t seem watch him act without expecting Sean Hayes to walk into the scene and dance around flamboyantly. Overall, the writing is dull, characters one-dimensional, and the plot goes absolutely no where.
Mostly, however, the reason I dislike the show is just how inaccurately it portrays the ad world. “The clients care about awards”, says the creative duo’s boss. The two knuckleheads also seem to have no talent whatsoever, and they portray the only female copywriter as a crazy bipolar control freak (that really irked me). The show’s poor ratings reflect that most Americans share my same feeling on the show. Too bad, I really liked the concept.
If you’re thinking of tuning in, don’t bother. It’s a snooze, trust me.
*ps I hope you enjoy the new logo–a bit of a rebrandalous, if you will.
