It's Amazon's Pilot season, and for the first time ever I engaged and not only watched some of the shows, but answered surveys about them, too. Anyone else watching? If so, what did you think?
Z (with Christina Ricci) -- I'm intrigued. It's filmed here in Georgia, and set in the South, so there are some really exaggerated Southern accents, but I'm used to that. I like CR, and so far, I like her character, Zelda. Would definitely watch another episode, or a whole season, so I hope it gets picked up.
One Mississippi -- Eh. Wasn't bad, wasn't that good. I would probably watch another episode or two to see where it goes, but there wasn't anything that made me say "Oh, that was so good, I want to see more!" Supposed to be dark comedy, which I can get behind, but I didn't even see that.
Edge -- If you like "Hell on Wheels" on AMC, you will probably like this. It has that same kind of feel to it. And I do like HoW, and I liked Edge. Really hope this one gets picked up.
Good Girls Revolt -- I very much like this one. I might even love it. Set at a NYC magazine in the '60s, with the main characters being the women who aren't "allowed" to write the stories, so all the credit goes to the male reporters who have been propped up by the women researching and re-writing the copy. Nora Ephron is a character in the first show, don't know if she would be a repeating character, but she quit this place over how women were treated and was basically told she wouldn't make it on her own.
Highston -- Kinda weird, but funny. I think it has potential. But I also think the formula could get old pretty quickly. Another that I would give a few more shows to decide. But if it doesn't get picked up, I won't be sad.
I didn't watch the only other non-animated show, Patriot. Didn't catch my attention at all.
