[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find Midge kind of annoying and over the top. But the sets and clothes keep me watching. I just watched the first episode last night, and the whole running away to [b]Paris story line is also far-fetched[/b]. But, again, it's fun to just look at it.[/quote]

Yeah have only watched the first episode and it was painful. Not at all in her mom's season 1 character which I guess is the point but it feels to fast of a departure. Ugh and her doing her bit at the drag club while being translated- so awkward and forced- "oh I'm just on stage now, I guess I should make this about me." Idk. Not sure I'll make it through the whole second season... the schitck is getting tiresome. But maybe during the slow holiday tv season... ha[/quote]

Wow, I completely agree with everything you said.  Was just about to write exactly that.  I've only watched the first episode and was cringing throughout.  The loud, rat-a-tat-tat conversation style is SO grating.  The drag club with French translation was incredibly tiresome.  You really see how self-centered she is - grabs a mic and tells her life story to a bunch of strangers.

I'm seeing so many similarities between this show and Gilmore Girls.  I loved GG, with the exception of the corny, yelling, back and forth, lightspeed conversations that attempted some kind of old school humor.  It just doesn't work, and this show is no exception.  It's like Sherman-Palladino et al are desperately trying to recreate the madcap humor of the 50s, without success. It's all one big shtick and is beyond old already.

That said, the clothes are to die for.  That's really the only reason I'm going to continue watching.   :wink: [/quote]
