Just finished watching the new local comedy(?)/drama(?) Single Girls, and I use the term watching lightly, or, conversely, with effort. Show about 3 single girls living it up in the city, (specifically Manila, though with the aerial shots you get the impression it's Makati) along with their obligatory single gay male friend. Sex & The City without the sex, natch. Also without the wit, feel, humor, production value... A for effort, and this is a "pity A."
Can't really comment on the script too much because the sound was soo bad (either get better microphones or loop the damn dialogue) I couldn't hear what the characters were saying.
That dating show Match TV is one of the sponsors/ producers of SG, and the "actors" of the latter look like they came from the former. Won't be surprised if I'm right.Bad pacing, blocking, editing, directing... wow, I feel like a COMARTS professor. Just tearing this show apart. Not that it doesn't deserve it. It this was a thesis, I'd fail 'em.
BUT, being a pilot episode, if they follow the American formula for pilot episodes (hell, they've been attmepting to follow the American formula for everything else) the future installments of Single Girls have the opportunity to improve. Not holding my breath on that, though.
