Review of Chuck

Chuck (2007–2012)
7/10
It's not Shakespeare, but who wants Shakespeare, really?

Warning: Spoilers
This show is as many have said above, fun. It's not riveting, it doesn't make a ton of sense, it has a lot of plot holes, but I think most of us who watch it aren't really watching it for any of these qualities. We're watching it because it has a likable lead actor who is thrown into situations where he has to cavort with a hot female spy. And also, we kinda wanna support Adam Baldwin, because we've liked him since Firefly and want him to do well.

The show's premise is rather forgettable and the romance between the two leads will become tedious after too long, but this is a fun show that you can watch without really thinking and enjoy the frivolity.

And don't try to make the show a legitimate drama by questioning how it is that all the government's secrets are contained in one email or why it is that nobody ever questions that Chuck misses huge chunks of his shifts without so much as an seeyalater and manages to keep his job. You should probably just disregard this. I mean, it's not Shakespeare, for Pete's sake.
