I had an hour to kill tonight so I watched the premier of the new La Brea series on NBC. It was a total waste of an hour IMO. The basic premise is a large sink hole hits Los Angeles and the survivors are dropped into a primeval land. This looks like another weekly series that will have no satisfactory explanation or ending. I won't be returning after the first episode - not even to hate watch it. Here is some additional information about the series....if you really want to know. La Brea (TV series) - Wikipedia
I saw the ad for this and my first thought was that NBC is scraping the bottom of the barrel for ideas.
Unintentionally funny with plenty of contrivance. The cartoon wolf and Sabre tooth tiger were icing on the cake
I noticed that the guys on Sunday night football had a hard time not laughing while reading the promos for this
Another LOST wannabe. It's so obvious that the even reference it in the pilot. If it was on FOX it would have already been cancelled. BTW, what's up with Natalie Zea's big bushy fake eyebrows?
I don't trust NBC to make this show into something worthwhile. They've screwed up several other shows in recent years. One watch was enough.
I finally watched this first episode and other than the sinkhole opening, it really went downhill after that. However, I mainly watched it to see Natalie Zea again. I last saw her on the series "The Detour" from a few years ago and thought she was extremely attractive. And I don't know what's up with the eyebrows, but I noticed a few other women on the show had the same big eyebrows (including a woman in a passing car). Maybe it's the make up people on the show, but Zea didn't look the same as before..
I was being facetious. False eyebrows are very popular and LOTS of actress's are doing it. It just another trend to make woman look fake like two inch eyelash extensions, fillers, porcelain tooth veneers, breast implants, spray tans, etc. etc. Natalie Zea is a beautiful woman and looks much better without them. BTW, have you seen Jennifer Anniston lately? She's got them too and it just makes her look old IMO.
I'll watch for a while longer but the minute they completely change the focus to the conspiracy aspect, I'm out. I'm sure this will happen even before the inevitable cancellation notice.
I wouldn't even recognize her from that photo. This is what she really looks like, with far less makeup slathered on:
I watched the first episode’cause I was curious how bad it can be. Bad story Bad script Bad acting Bad CGI And not much originality. With all the good sci-fi to choose they go with this crap? I won’t be returning to this.
An old saying in TV, comedy, and cinema, "If you can't buy the premise, you can't buy the bit." I saw this come up on Hulu and thought of that saying. Networks toss out these idiotic shows, decade and decade and, in the end, cancel them and leave the viewers hanging with an inconcluded series. I no longer watch live network TV and when I do watch shows on Hulu, Amazon, Netflix, I check to make sure it's a complete series before I delve into it. This show's premise is beyond stupid. I'm sure it will garner many fans...
It's awful. At the end of the hour they had preview/highlight scenes, and even they were tedious. I'm out.
If NBC really wanted this show to succeed, they should have located it in Chicago like half their programming. Then they could've incorporated it into those cross-over events that networks hang their ratings on. All sorts of balls were dropped on this one.
