PRIVILEGED: All About Honesty – Recap

Posted in Privileged on September 18, 2008 by awsumdave

CW’s new chick-drama came back this week.  Sorry it took me so long to write a recap, I was busy watching several other more important TV shows.  This week in Privileged, the episode dragged out, and made the Pilot seem so much more superior than this episode.

This week started off basically right where last left off.  At the party in her Cinderella dress.  Half the episode was still at the party, tensions were high, and there was even a verbal cat fight.  They should call this show “Women Scorned” or something.  Anyways, it was drawn out for most of the episode until finally, they got back to the mansion.

Even then, it wasn’t such a fantastic episode, but at least it went on to something new.  Megan tried to tutor the girls, and they still didn’t cooperate.  Then the girls stole her car, and almost got arrested.  Blah Blah Blah, but the main purpose of this episode was the younger sister’s ex-boyfriend.

The entire episode the sisters were putting together a plan to make her ex jealous, to get him back, when he wasn’t even good to her in the first place.  But hey, you learn from mistakes, right?  Though I don’t think either of the sisters are smart enough to grasp that concept.

That was basically the episode.  Yawn.  I’ll try to tune in next week.  But I might not.  There is a little too much girly qualities in this show.  It need testosterone if you ask me, but my opinion does not matter, so…whatever, peace out.

PRIVILEGED: Pilot Episode – Recap

I was debating if I should see this or not. It obviously had several feminine characters, which lead me to believe that this show was a “chick flick” of the television world, much like, oh say…Gilmore Girls.

Privileged follows the life of Megan Smith, a writer for a tabloid magazine. Her life is turned upside down when she loses everything, her house, her job, just everything. Her boss however, offers Megan another job, as a tutor to two girls. She is to help the girls get into college.

The job has its positives and negatives. The positive reasons are what keeps her there, she lives in a big fancy mansion, and she works for a very wealthy woman. If she does her job well, she is given $1500 a week. The negative reason is obvious, the main reason for the show, which is the two evil girls. Actually, only one of them is evil. The other would love to get into college, and even did her homework. The only thing dragging her down is her sister.

Now the show is pretty predictable with all that happens throughout the show. The evil girl makes Megan’s life hard, until finally she gets fired, but due to a great speech totally dissing the evil girl, she got her job back, even with a contract making it so she can’t get fired for six whole months.

The show has its laughs here and there. It’s light hearted, and I like it a little. Do I like it enough to continue watching? I really don’t know. I will watch next week, and see if it still has my interest, but If not, I doubt I’ll keep watching. Peace out!
