Where do I start ?? I live in New York City and I have seen the posters all over the train stations, on the sides of buses, and of course in the center of Times Square. From the poster of the main characters in a 90210 pool in their smoking hot bikinis and bathing suits, you can tell which direction this show is headed. It's another trite, contrived, "I have more money and a nicer car than you" type show. Oh and there's a black kid...I guess he's there to even things out.
I was a HUGE fan of the original Beverly Hills 90210. I was 8 when it first aired and I never missed an episode until the show came off the air. The characters were in their stride, though, in the high school/early college days.
Let's go back in time, Jim Walsh, wife Cindy and twins Brandon and Brenda move from Minnesota to Beverly Hills on account of Jim's job. They are humble kids and they meet up with different people in BH than those they are used to.The show builds on their "innocence" from the time Brandon's alarm goes off...they meet people who become their best friends, but slowly...things build...the conflict was believable and the acting was great, each actor really defining who their characters were.
Here's the problem with the new version...EVER WATCH DEGRASSI ??? I was a big fan of that show until the writing became a heap of corny lines. Every character is so quick witted ?!?! Maybe it's in the water, but to me it sucks. There is no reason to watch after seeing those 2 episodes. The acting is bad, the writing sucks, and the ONLY upside is seeing the reprisals of the roles of Brenda, Kelly, and Nat. Of course, they were from the original and that's why they are back, so people will watch.
I am afraid however, that this show will sink faster than the Titanic. Gossip Girl (another God awful bitch and brat-fest) is already on TV. That should be canceled already,but look for this one to get the ax first. There is no way that these stories are gonna have any kind of long term results and I think that it was a bad idea to try to ride off of the legacy of a classic show.
All in all, this is Degrassi The Next Generation set in Beverly Hills...pull the plug PLEASE.
