I'm going to preface this by saying.. it is not for me. Also, it was hard to get through, and I might have jumped a few episodes in my conquest to see how it ended!
Did not enjoy the casting at all (not one role from the episodes I watched), nor the general chemistry, nor the way characters are written, nor the slow developments or generic "serial" execution. I admit, by giving this tittle its name, they got me! Otherwise, I would not have bothered. Sadly, I was correct in my assumptions regarding my taste.
Remaking this "franchise" is nothing new.. I admit, I have not watched the 1941 version, nor the 1996 TV series attempt. And while I think the 2007 pilot (with the charming Jordana Brewster) was more in line with what was presented in Brad Pitt's 2005 release (and therefore more enjoyable, even in its simplicity).. it is safe to say that it is enough already!! Still, I wouid rather re-watch the over-the-top and energetic 2005 movie with likeable Actors a thousand times over.. than to finish this properly.
Mr and Mrs Smith means something to me already, and changing the vibe completely results in a product that doesn't remotely satisfy me. I might not have high standards, but some things cannot be improved upon.. specially when there's a lack of charisma.
