The Carrie Diaries (2013–2014)
5/10
Couldn't keep me interested

Warning: Spoilers
I was very disappointed by this show. I started watching it with really high expectations, but the show definitely couldn't meet those expectations.

The cast is good, and believable -- unless you compare them with Sex & the City's cast. Carrie (in this show) looks nothing like Carrie (in the original show), which makes you feel like you're watching a completely different thing. However, this is not a good show, not even if you try to forget it is a prequel to Sex & the City.

Some moments in this show are really forced and they're just not believable. It's actually hard to imagine it happening in real life, because it seems like writers have forgotten they're writing about a 16-year-old girl and not a 25-year-old woman. Carrie makes awful choices, which could be justified because she's just a teenager, but those choices turn the show into something awfully random.

I didn't make it to the end of episode 1 because I was really bored and I won't even dare to try watching the rest of it. It just isn't worth it.
