Joel Murray Director. View All Critic Reviews 2. Nov 01, Ellas dos me enamoran. Elpidio M. Feb 05, Okay, its very typical for most of the series to kinda be a bit boring as the new season arrives, but still it is enjoyable and sometimes or may be most of the time laughable.
Kabi L. Dec 15, Traditionally few types of television shows offer a reflection of its viewers than the situational comedy. TV was a personal media, in your home rather than in the glamor setting of the movie theater. With the high concept premise of following the exploits of a pair of twenty-something young women as they struggle to break free of their dead-end jobs and launch their own business.
Initially, there was a freshness to the series mostly because of the undeniable chemistry between the actresses portraying the titular financially changed young women. It was funny and rapidly formed a noticeable fanbase.
The series eventually encountered the same obstacles as any television series; it had to remain fresh while retaining the elements that lead to the initial success.
After five years, the show has fallen victim to its own internal typecasting. The jokes have become formulaic and the trademark politically incorrect humor has moved past tauntingly funny to borderline offensive. That is the most difficult observation I had to reconcile with the initial enjoyment of the series.
I have always been a supporter of politically incorrect humor which was a significant factor of what initially drew me to the series. The only other regular character is Sophie Kachinsky Jennifer Coolidge. As of the previous season finale, Sophie and Oleg finally became married in a ceremony plagued by the usual impossible zaniness found only in a sitcom. The final episode of season four also included a story arc that dominated the season. Max and Caroline, the perennial need of startup capital for the cupcake business were forced to take jobs in a high-end, snooty dessert bar.
All the gains they had made during that season but as a result of a plot contrivance they were forced to buy first-class tickets to Paris and rather than cash them in decided to take the trip as a way to forget their troubles temporarily. It may seem completely unreasonable that a pair of young women so desperately trying to start a business keep sabotaging themselves there is at least a plausible excuse for this excursion.
After having their dreams crushed time and time again, the audience needed to see them splurge and treat themselves at least once. Once back in Williamsburg a new season of trials and tribulations the beautiful burgeoning entrepreneurs. Some degree od reality is used to guide the events as depicted in the stories.
Many are rather subtle and are easier to discern by someone with the considerable amount of time in Brooklyn. Williamsburg is a neighborhood undergoing gentrification. Establish ethnocentric communities replaced by housing and business geared towards the millennials. This trend catches up with the diner, but a big real estate concern moves in forcing all businesses out of their establishments to build a new IMAX theater.
At the last minute, the demolition is halted when the convenient discovery of a stained glass window at the opening used by the cupcake business conveniently saves the day. By certifying the building as possessing historical significance, any demolition attempt is precluded.
Although in reality, the process takes years to complete in a matter of minutes, that is before the next commercial, the building housing the diner is designated of historical interest and worthy of being preserved. This is just one of many examples of mobile reliance on plot contrivances to create a problem and easily resolve them. One of the long-running gags associated with the plight of the girls is that their apartment is barely functional.
They live in a one-bedroom garden apartment which even in notably poor conditions would be out of their price range. This fact was addressed some time back with an episode that dealt with the fact that they are illegally subletting the rent-controlled apartment.
The plumbing of this apartment ranges from poor to nonexistent so to take showers young women are forced to sneak into a nearby day spa. Of course, they get caught by irate members and instead of getting thrown out Max manage to get jobs at the in-house juice for. Another given is that Max finds an extremely attractive young man, Brian Tip Scarry ; the ruggedly beautiful yoga instructed an object of lust for all the married housewives in the club.
This is another always overused theme running throughout the entire series. Max, practically grew up on the street, is quite open about her predilection for multiple sexual partners in her enjoyment of various illegal recreational psychotropic substances. The constant use of these jokes I did one time have been considered cutting-edge, but now the sheer overuse has degraded into the hackneyed.
While it is true that the majority of television series are overwhelmingly formulaic a series deserving of longevity needs to demonstrate a modicum of originality. In every episode, you can image a clipboard held by the writers. With the appearance of each type of joke, it's listing on the paper indicated with a check mark. With each successive episode, the routine repeated affording no place for anything different.
A handsome owner of a candy store is sweet on Caroline, but she's too embarrassed to see him after a humiliating experience in his store. S2, Ep7.
