90210

The only reason why I gave It a 7 is because It has potential. I liked the beginning. When I first sow It at first I though that It's going to be a good series. The main problem with It is the writers. In stead of just making a good series the writers felt the urge to give the character some really weird personalities. either the are too dumb, too emotional, angry or the are just freaks. It's like the writers literally said ,,hey the story is too simple, so we should create our own awful one''. It really is sad to think If they just made a series about normal teenagers, instead of emotionally troubled ones, It would have been a pretty decent series. Hope It improves soon. Also why did they cast actors which, the ones playing the parents look 30 years, and the ones playing their kids look 20 years old?

This is good if you just want an escape from brutal, painful reality.

The sun is always shining in Beverly Hills. No one has a single hair is out of place. Everybody is slim and beautiful. All the girls have a full face of make up and a new outfit in every scene. Money is never an issue. Everybody is paired up and in a stable relationship, everybody is so independent and confident even though they're only 16. Everybody drives a big car. Everybody's got a big house. No one seems to lift a finger and life seems to be all about partying, getting manicures, gossiping, eating at restaurants and pretending to work. People go to school in a vest and flip flops because it's so hot, it's as though they're on a permanent holiday. The girls are eating burger, fries and dr pepper as their school lunch everyday but none of them is spotty, fat or tired looking. People go through such big issues like drugs, pregnancies, sex with multiple guys, bipolar disorder and yet it never seems to show on their appearance.

Deep down I'm sure that even real people in Beverly Hills do not live like this because money can only go so far to having a perfect life. If like me you live in rainy, miserable Britain where homes are small and shabby looking and roads are so narrow and the people are obese and angry and the weather is always grey then this is lovely to watch sometimes just to get away from the misery and cold, dark days.

But if you're the jealous type then I wouldn't recommend watching this.

The first couple of seasons are kind of weird. But I love this show so much i wish I could watch it for the first time again.

Okay let me first start with the fact the first half of season one was clichéd, boring and dumb. So it would explain why people where bashing it when it came out.

Perhaps the writers listened to our complaints, and decided hey, let's just do what we want.

And by god, this show became GREAT! Bipolar Silver. Annie getting bitchy. Naomi's fits and her sister are just so funny! Adriana became a likable character and her and Navid make an interesting couple.

Jessica Lowndes is absolutely stunning, and Shenae Grimes is getting better and better with acting.

Overall, give it a chance and you will be surprised, it's fresh, funny and has a good dose of drama that isn't redundant but fun!

This isn't a review...

Just wanted to say that I have not had the (dis)pleasure of seeing this re-make of 90210 (other than snippets), but maybe all the bad ratings are because Aaron Spelling, responsible for the original 90210, as well as Melrose Place, is no longer with us so he has no input on the show. I don't know, but just a thought. A shame it's so bad... Oh well, we have the original DVDs at least! It's nice to see a few of the original characters back though. I really couldn't care less about teens these days. But I think the makers of the show should go to a real highschool and actually look at what the kids are dealing with, instead of stereotyping so much.
