The Raven is not an insensitive guy, so I don't like what I am about to say here.
I'm involved with BEING ERICA simply because of an impulse buy. Scouting for glamorous DVDs, an image popped up on the reams and reams of spam I receive daily. The very, very cute box cover of Season 1. You know it. Leggy. Trying on high heels. Fell for it. I, being cautious, did some research, downloaded a couple scenes from the Net, turns out one of them was, coincidentally, from the so- called "super-gay episode" with Anna Silk, I had some reservations, but that bit drove past the obstacles. Note that I can be easily fooled, my research always has to be very, very superficial, no spoilers, otherwise, what's the point?
To cut a long story short, BEING ERICA has its ups and downs in Season 1, but there are times when it takes off. Especially when Anna Silk's on the scene. But by Season 2... And #3... Well, Joana Douglas saves #3... But Season 4... Back then, I bought the whole lot.
I shouldn't have bought #4. #4's a bore.
Instantly obvious this season, Joana Douglas lost her sparkle. That irritating guy who plays Adam, one look at him is more than I can take, and he is the male romantic lead? Erin Karpluk remains likable, but by Hollywood standards, in no way lead material. Second-stringer always. That's just how it is. Dr. Tom is the one surefire A+ by American standards. Everything else is, well, Canadian. Well, except for some really good, promising moments.
The big problem with this series, is that Erin Karpluk didn't have, like, a younger sister, or, somebody who could pass for being a younger version of herself. And the producers never minded. Clearly, judging from this episode, the Casting Department also didn't care much about a suitable younger version for Barbara. This Lauren Collins, suffice to say, I am not thrilled, leave it at that, she is getting off very, very lightly. Ivan Schneeberg, couldn't you at least have tried finding a more suitable candidate? In all of Canada, you didn't think there'd be anybody? I'm pretty sure that in the first Canadian mall I'd walk in, I'd find somebody. Because bettering on that dismally uninspiring choice, would be as easy as pie.
Nobody can pull it off looking half your age. Any attempt to do so, fails miserably, and is just laughable.
Turns out, this is the episode that just, well...
I have eight episodes left, and zero buzz to watch any further.
