Emily Kapnek from ‘As Told By Ginger’ fame has created the new show Suburgatory. A take on the differences between city life and the ‘burbs, again this fall we see a new show that doesn’t have an original idea.
A single father (Jeremy Sisto) finds a packet of condoms in his daughters room and so very reasonably moves them from NYC to the suburbs up state. I think Tessa (Jane Levy) is made out to be an average teen from New York but is then surprised at meeting a fake person… No one in NYC is fake then? NYC propaganda? But anyway Tessa enters this new world of hummy mummys and spoilt teens and doesn’t notice any similarities and feels like a fish out of water. She does make friends with a girl at school that is being bullied (Allie Grant) and her dad gets his first stalker and love interest. All in all the show is not great, people will watch thinking that they can make fun of all the fake people walking around the show, but the humor is poor and ideas are rehashings. Alan Tudyk is awesome as ever, but I don’t think he is enough to make up for the rest of the production here.
