Review of October Road

October Road (2007–2008)
I am not to sure yet, but not too promising
4 April 2007
Warning: Spoilers
I have watched only two episodes so far and I am not thrilled. I guess the main word here is boring. I was bored to near death watching these two episodes. Okay, I'm giving it a chance because of Laura Prepon, but that will only go so far. I even have to admit that I am not too thrilled with her acting here either. Dead pan acting expressions just does not go here. Yes, this show could develop into something good, but I seem to doubt it. It is way off base when it comes to plot lines, and not at all believable either. I mean so the guy writes a book and everyone is angry at him, ho-hum. The girl he left has another man and yet she wants to kiss him with love in her heart after a decade of living another life and not hearing from the guy, yea right. This guy is from a small town yet we are asked to believe he kept in touch with absolutely no one, including his father, to tell him he may have a child. Only now his dad wants to take a good look at this kid and tells his son that the boy has "your mothers eyes". Please, come on now, we are supposed to believe this aren't we? The writers here have their work cut out for them. This is a TV show, not the book.
