Review of 90210 TV show

Remember those days in the nineties? Beverly Hills 90210 TV show was a hit. Shanon Dougherty was THE babe and Luke Perry was the man. Well, there’s a new season of the show. And it’s a whole new cast. The look of this reboot has a nineties feel mixed with modern sleekness and tempered with the same old glamour high life that the series is known for.

Some has called it the Sarah Palin of shows, because it’s an eye candy that seems to be as empty headed as it is cute. This will be without a doubt another one of those teen idol making machines. All the Stars here, just as in the original series, are young, new, fresh, good looking. The only question that is left to be answered in time is whether they will actually have break through careers. From What I can tell, the series is off to a pretty slow start. It’s as corny as the original and unfortunately, that’s already been played out so many times before that audiences might not be able to respond very well to this.

The first episode of the original Beverly Hills 90210 TV show was not organic. It just creates many possible conflicts and story lines so that it can give viewers many things to choose from. They’ll just play up the one factor (actor and story line) which is most loved by the fans. So that’s just how the pop machine operates. It’s quite lacking of any substance. But as it goes on, maybe we’ll see at least something juicy.

Here’s the new basic plot. It’s basically about the Wilson family, a family from little old Kansas who moves into big ole Beverly Hills. It is headed by the dad played by Rob Estes and the mom played by Lori Loghlin. Then there is of course the daughter played by Shenae Grimes from the hit teen show Degrassi the next generation. But then all she ever does is to squint her eyes whenever she’s feeling any emotion whatsoever, whether it is sadness, anger, cluelessness, or even joy. There’s also the son who turns out to be an adopted son. This is played by Tristan Wilds. That’s a given in most soap operas and it is a given here in the new 90210 TV show rife with clichés.

Because of their Grandmother who owns some property in the golden Beverly Hills district, the family moves in to their new home and lifestyle. The grandmother is a drunken mess and a diva of course. Then at there is the school that Annie moves into. There is of course a cute guy there who she hates and whom she had met a few days back. And the guy was getting blown in the parking lot. I suppose this is the attempt of the 90210 TV show to be edgy and mature in content for a great shock effect.
