Review of Ringer

Ringer (2011–2012)
9/10
Soap operas, Genres and Ringers
5 October 2011
On any review or comment, I have noticed that most people allude to another show the main actor was in. Not being a fan of the previous show until now, recently, that I have started watching the old episodes of BTVS in my wife's library, I guess I will never escape references to it. But I am here, giving comments on "Ringer" another show I was practically forced to watch by an in-house SMG fan. Seeing other reviews, I hardly ever see any that does not reference SMG, Sarah Michelle Gellar or Buffy. That put aside, I can't wait to see future episodes.

It is a great show with potential. It has a very serious tone, not unlike a soap opera. The story line is well laid out for future development, although some disagree. I say wait for it to develop. In this day and age I can see the objections to the slow exposition of such a drama. Some viewers may not be ready to accept this style of storytelling, insisting instead upon a simple story-line that wraps itself up neatly after each episode. This series is not that type of 'fast-food' storytelling.

This show I definitely like. The moments of revelation are starting to line up. ***Spoilers deleted*** They happen every week now. Stay tuned.
