Review of Telenovela

Telenovela (2015–2016)
10/10
Actually Funny; I took a chance & It was Worth It!
8 December 2015
Warning: Spoilers
I usually don't write a review for the pilot episode & I think by the end of this season NBC will have a hit.

The only other comedy show I watch is The Big Bang Theory. I love comedies & there just aren't that many that are fun nor funny. There are too many dramas: NCISSS, CSIII, Criminal Minds, Quantico, Chicago Fire/Med/PD, Law & Orderererer. Other comedy shows I've tried: Modern Family, Gary Shandling, Seinfeld; and several others I've watched over the years.

The acting, writing, & directing are gre8! The actors/actresses are top rate and draw you into the story.

If you work in a corporation; you will most likely find this show funny. There were a couple of parts that slowed down for me & it was gre8 to laugh at something that was actually funny when it picked back up.

Ep 1 Two main characters take a selfie while committing a crime. The main character asks the writer, "How drunk were you last night". The Gay guy stress eating. The macho guy has a cat.

Ep 2 The open door policy (no secrets). Two of the characters slept together & while giving the details the main character started gagging. Main character talking to writer. Writer plugs his ears stating, "Spoiler alert". Main character, "You wrote it".

The show is different & will have to carve out it's niche. This was worth the risk of watching & finally funny.

Thank you to NBC & the production team. I look forward to the next episode.
