Awkward. review – 2×08: ‘Time After Time’

August 17, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

Last week was the wedding heard round the world: sl*tbag harpy Ally (Barret Swatek) tied the knot, but the real fireworks went down when high school shrew Sadie (Molly Tarlov) spilled the beans that Jake (Brett Davern) was Jenna’s (Ashley Rickards) sloppy second after – dum dum dum – Matty McKibben (Beau Mirchoff)! Sh*t’s about to go down.

Welcome to our first Awkward. two-part episode, also known as ‘the adventures of crazy town,. 80 pounds and the creampuff’. That’s right, folks, it’s time – after just one week! – for Ally’s (Barret Swatek) wedding. Clearly the sh*t is going to hit the fan!

Ringer recap – 1×22: ‘I’m The Good Twin’

April 18, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

Back in the fall, Ringer was on most people’s radar with the return of Sarah Michelle Gellar playing dual roles in a taut, psychological thriller. The show was broody, soapy and adult. It had a great supporting cast. Fast forward twenty-two episodes later as Ringer airs its finale as a bubble show with a questionably murky future. This might be the last time I ever get to gently mock the show! Oh Ringer! Sniff…

Ringer recap – 1×21: ‘It’s Called Improvising, Bitch!’

April 11, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

We’re up to the penultimate episode of The CW’s Ringer, and it’s time to tie up loose ends! ‘It’s Called Improvising, Bitch!’ wraps up all of the questions we’ve had about how and why and when Catherine Martin (Andrea Roth) put the hit out on Siobhan (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and there’s one twist that makes the whole thing sortakinda worth it!

Ringer recap – 1×20: ‘If You’re Just An Evil Bitch Then Get Over It’

April 4, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

Courtesy of The CW

Now that’s what I’m talking about! As Ringer cruises towards its conclusion, the writers finally figure out that the show works best as a ludicrous melodrama and they pile on the gimmicks: a suicide attempt, a body in the freezer, and a cliffhanger. Plus: the world’s most honest maid staff. Oh my!

Ringer recap – 1×19: ‘Let’s Kill Bridget!’

Ohmygawd y’all! With only a few episodes left, Ringer begins to wrap up some of its storylines, including ones that are stale and boring (Machado! Bodaway!) and tasty fresh (Tyler’s murder! Catherine!).
