Let me say first of all, that in general, I liked the show. It definitely had it's flaws, but in general I liked the show.
I am familiar with Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin so when I saw them in the show as a married couple I thought that was pretty cool. When he was on trial for the murder of Lilly Kane and he said "I was People magazine's sexiest man alive in 1987" I immediately paused and said to my wife wouldn't that be funny if he actually was? We googled it and yep, he was!
I also liked how in in the movie Dax Shepherd cameo'd.
Ok so for the weird parts.
- a 17 year old the leader of a motorcycle gang, and they ride sport bikes? That's not realistic at all in my opinion.
- Ok so season 3 of VM ended with Keith being arrested. The VM movie starts and doesn't really talk about anything about his arrest or anything. It's like I didn't have any real closure as I would have loved to hear how everything went down.
- Ending of the VM movie - Ok another cliffhanger, Weevil is in trouble. Guess what happens at the beginning of Season 4 - no real closure, just VM saying that he settled behind her back and she's mad.
There's probably some more but that's the stuff I can remember right now.
I understand the time difference between Season 3 to the movie, and the movie to season 4, but it would have been nice to actually provide a better segue between them all.
With regards to season 4, my wife and I correctly identified who the copycat bomber was in advance, and I correctly called the "look in his backpack Keith". I think it's completely ridiculous that the bag would have been left in her car.
Lastly, the ending was complete bullshit and I feel like Rob Thomas almost ruins the whole show because of it. Make me somewhat mad I devoted the time to watch it all and I get kicked in the nuts at the end. I don't care about his reasons for doing it, it's a shit thing to do.
Do I regret watching the show? No, as I have a greater appreciation for Kristin Bell after watching this, and I might go ahead and rewatch the Good Place because of it. As for Keith Mars, I really liked Enrico Colantoni in this role. I recognize him from Travelers (one of my all time favorites) and also from Person of Interest (another show that I loved). It's nice to see him as a good guy for once.
