First Impressions (Pilot Judge) : Jane By Design

I would like to start a new segment on this blog called First impressions. It would be about the new series that came out or maybe the first episode of a brand new season of a show.

So the newest addition to the ABC Family- "Jane By Design" get the honor to be my guinea pig! (Honor.. HA!)

PLOT

Jane is a teenager who is mistaken as an adult and lands a job in a hip retail company. She must balance her high school life and her job while keeping her identity a secret.


MY VIEWS OF THE SHOW




So first of all let's talk about the cast. Okay I know I'm being really superficial and shallow but we all know that everyone judges the actors' appearance the first time they are introduced to the world.... No? Just me?


Anyhoo.. Erica Dasher who is the main character (Jane Quimby) kinda reminds me of the combination of Kim Kardashian and Ashley Tisdale! Weird huh? I can't really judge if she is pretty or not. She's just one of those people who you will rate their beauty after you see some of their personality reflect upon them.... like Lea Michele! :D I can't say she's a bad actress but she just has this tone in her voice that I dislike. So to sum it up, no hate no love. :)


Speaking of love, I love how they only cast hot guys to the show! Both of her sorta love interest is the pretty boy type that can't make any girl go GAGA over their looks. The guy who play Jane's best friend on the other hand.... eh.. Let's just say that he is on the verge of falling into my list of ugly actors. Sorry Nick Roux! I don't know who he is but he looks really familiar! Anyone can tell me if you guys have seen any of his famous projects??


Let me get back to judging the show. Hmm if I could sum it up in one word I would choose..: FAKE!
But every show has its downside and it is FICTION.. but no excuses!
So Jane juggles work and a full time job as an assistant in a... fashion house? or some job that has to do with fashion. Then she shows up late everyday because she has to attend school everyday till 11.30. I don't know where her school is but she has to have her best friend drive her to the train station then only reach the New York office. That is just insane! If the total time she used to travel is an hour she would have reach work at 12.30! Lunch hour I'm guessing! And she is still not fired??!


I mean sure her boss is always out of town but SERIOUSLY put some reality into it! And speaking of reality! I am sure you can't find such a good best friend that drives you everyday to from school to work when the best friend has to skip school! Ohhh... now I get it... So that's why he agrees to drive her for free everyday...? Whatever. Maybe those kinds of best friends exist but just not in my world and I'm just being a cranky old jealous grandma about it. 


If you wanna see what I'm talking about go and catch an episode of Jane By Design on ABC Family. It airs after Switched At Birth every Tuesday! Tata! :D


My personal rating: 2.5/5
