This is going to be quick. If you
haven’t watched last night’s episode of Trophy
Wife, entitled ‘Halloween’, then I suggest you do that now. This is not a
spoiler free blog. THIS REVIEW MAY
CONTAIN SPOILERS! You’ve been warned.
Okay, this was a pretty funny
episode. The humour to the series seems pretty easy, although I don’t
completely feel connected to any of these characters enough to care if this
series were cancelled. I might miss the actors, but the characters and story
haven’t been developed well enough to feel involved in their lives.
Jackie’s lack of any cultural –
pop or otherwise – knowledge is astounding. She even confused Marie Antoinette’s
infamous line about cake for Queen Elizabeth’s. Still, I think she may be the
funniest character on this series. Vice versa, Hillary seems to be the most
normal, but still not completely normal in that she goes to actual parties
without alcohol. I’m sorry, that’s not a thing these days; alcohol at teen
parties seems to be more prevalent than ever. That’s about the one ludicrous
issue I have with this series for the time being.
Overall, I enjoyed this episode.
It had funny little tidbits, and had some pretty nifty costumes. Although, you’d
think Hillary would want to dress up for a party like most people that age like
to do. If some of these characters are this enthusiastic about Halloween, I’d
be excited to see how they are with Christmas (P.S. That’s my favourite
holiday).
My rating: 7 out of 10.
Best Line:
“I knew I should’ve had him microchipped.” – Jackie exclaims,
after her son goes missing.
Okay, I’m off to watch The
Originals now. After that it’ll be Supernatural,
so stay tuned.
