"unREAL"
Anyone else watched the first episode of this yet?
I wasn't interested at first but watched the pilot after the great reviews (this seriously got almost across-the-board raves). It was actually awesome and surprisingly dark. I'm already really excited to see where it goes and will definitely be watching this summer.

Re: "unREAL" (Season 1)
I liked the pilot a bunch, but I hope the show focuses more on the behind-the-scenes aspect over the romances and relationships going forward.

I didn't realize this was getting great reviews. I didn't really have any interest at all.

It's been universally acclaimed.

Re: "unREAL" (Season 1)
This show is dark. Tonight's episode was great. The main characters are all so despicable, I couldn't believe what Rachel did at the end with the Anna edit.

Re: "unREAL" (Season 1)
OMG this show is so fucking good. I watched the latest two episodes last night. The ending of the fourth episode with what Adam did was so fucked up. Every character on this show is a monster They seriously are some of the best antiheroes since "Breaking Bad."
Everyone should really be watching. This is one of the best shows of the year.

Re: "unREAL" (Season 1)
Loved the fifth episode. It was one of the few times it seemed like a few of the characters had a heart. I hate Jay though. I can't wait to see what happens with Mary now that she's off her meds. That last scene with her was hilarious
Cannot recommend this show enough for fans of soapy dramas Shiri Appleby and Constance Zimmer are both brilliant too, I've never seen Appleby be this good in anything before.
So I binge watched it today.... and this show is like my fave!!!!!!!!
Mary jumping off the roof was just the cherry on tóp
I am OBSESSED WITH THIS

Re: "unREAL" (Season 1)
Just watched the sixth, seventh and eighth episodes. This show is fucking crazy! I literally have no idea where it is going and so many moments honestly remind me of "Breaking Bad." I gasped at the reveal with the PA and Chet in the eighth episode.
Constance Zimmer and Shiri Appleby are so flawless.
Can't believe there are only two episodes left. This show is deliciously entertaining and actually one of the smartest shows on TV at the moment. No wonder the creatives on "The Bachelor" hate it so much - I could totally see this all actually playing out.

Re: "unREAL" (Season 1)
The finale was insane. So many twists. And Shiri Appleby is incredible. That final scene with the look she gave Quinn just said a thousand words and was so ominous.
Season 2 NOW please.

Re: "unREAL" (Season 1)
Absolutely not. This is probably the most critically acclaimed show of the summer.
If you compare Rachel to someone like Kate Mara on House of Cards who they tried to play the morally compromised smart babe role with, it's not even close
yep, Rachel is most likely my fave leading character in a while.....
But Quinn is even better

Re: "unREAL" (Season 1)
Just watched episodes 5/6/7, hot damn this is some good shit
The craziest thing is they got deep of an acting cast for a Lifetime show. I'd be one thing if they pulled an Orphan Black and got a home run on the Rachel and Quinn actresses but then had to fill the supporting cast with some embarrassing scrub actors, but they somehow found a good performance for Adam/Chet/Faith/Mary/Anna/Maya/Shia/Jay/etc. despite basically everyone being a nobody
Yes, you have the best taste in tv shows in the forum.
I basically watch anything you like.

Re: "unREAL" (Season 1)
Finished, fuck that was an awesome entertainment ride. I don't know how many tricks they'll have to use next year but for one season at least, nailed it

Re: "unREAL" (Season 1)
Finished Season 1. Fucking AWESOME show. I love it. So addicting. I've never been a Shiri Appleby fan but I am now. She's great on this show and I find her character fascinating. So glad this was picked up for a second season and hate waiting for it. I want more A.S.A.P. Can't wait to see where they go with the next season. This show deserves a bunch of awards consideration.
