Eastwick- Worth watching ?(NO SPOILERS) - Cult

salochin · 21-10-2009, 07:02

Hi All

Has anyone seen the first few episodes of Eastwick? If so can I have your opinions as to whether this is one to watch or not

Thanks

Hopeless_Savage · 21-10-2009, 08:49

Me and my mum have really been enjoying it

It a bit of fun, don't take it too seriously. It's no Lost or Flashforward :P
But the characters are cute, and the storyline has a bit of mystery and of course magic.

I find Eastwick very enjoyable to watch, Good characters in it and theres a whole mystery feel to it.

Its part of my weekly thursday watching, Eastwick & Cougar Town and Bones if I manage to dl the canadian viewing slot one.

As a whole Eastwick works for me!

as a bloke, the first couple were kinda charming, but then gets girly to the extreme!!

gaz141 · 21-10-2009, 10:39

I'm really enjoying it, has been added to my Saturday viewing along with Medium, Dollhouse, SGU, and The Good Wife.

I watched the first episode, but then dropped it mid way episode 2

If you liked "Charmed" then you'll like this. It's a little more lighthearted than Charmed (no, I didn't think that was possible either) but if you are bored and want to watch something that won't stretch your mind too much then this might suit.

salochin · 21-10-2009, 17:50

thanks for your opinion guys and gals. I think I will get the first couple and give it a go

Inky Binky · 21-10-2009, 17:54

Ratings for the show haven't been that great so far. But I think they're still going to air all 13 episodes. But a second season is looking doubtful at the moment.

sheddy99 · 21-10-2009, 21:40

i've watched all 4 episodes and it does get better. The end of episode 4 is proper

salochin · 24-10-2009, 06:15

well we watched episode 1, I cant say that either my other half or I were aprticulary grabbed by it. I have the next 2 episodes but I doubt we will be watching them.

It was not bad, just not particularly good

musicdude · 24-10-2009, 08:22

I wasn't grabbed by the pilot but I will check the series in full when it comes out over here.

It looks like it will be cancelled though.

Does anyone know when that might be?

Hopeless_Savage · 27-10-2009, 15:15

No word yet. It seems like something Living would pick up tho.

Edit - Sorry just had a look

Looks like Hallmark have it for next year

tutes24 · 27-10-2009, 15:38

I watched the first four episodes to give it a chance but that actress with the glasses really started annoying me so ive ditched it now

Hopeless_Savage · 27-10-2009, 15:44

I like her the most :P

welwynrose · 27-10-2009, 15:48

it's enjoyable - the most recent episode was very funny in places - the only thing I'm not sure about is Paul Gross as the male lead

tutes24 · 27-10-2009, 20:37

Its her voice mainly that annoys me lol

sheddy99 · 27-10-2009, 22:08

I remember Paul Gross as Fraser in Due South and he is FITTER now

The character in glasses do you mean the journalist?

fenlander · 28-10-2009, 10:38

The original movie's on ITV1 on 6th November. Makes the series look pretty pale by comparison.

tutes24 · 28-10-2009, 19:10

Yeah the one who looks into men's eyes and makes tham do what she wants. She really started bugging the hell out of me with her voice and then being a cow sleeping with her ex when she so called loves that other man its a shame she irratated me so much cos the other two witches are nice eye candy lol epecially the mum with five kids lol

musicdude · 28-10-2009, 20:01

I felt the pilot didn't really show what the show could do. The show is a tiny bit similar to charmed. In the pilot to charmed they got their powers, we got a chance to see their powers and we got the idea that every episode would focus on them dealing with a different demon of the week. I felt Eastwick didn't do that at all.

nainz · 30-10-2009, 03:17

Looks like it's going to get cancelled after it's 13 episode run unless the ratings pick up.

TWS · 30-10-2009, 14:14

Well i was only watching for Matt Dallas

Considering it's on ABC it wouldn't surprise me

. But reading around it seems like the show has a lot of support so they're going to try and push it. Hopefully that means they'll move it to a different time-slot since it's so out of place on their Wednesday comedy line-up. I think Sundays would be perfect for it and DH/B&S lead-ins would give it a ratings boost.
