A spin-off de "Beverly Hills 90210" chegou aos ecrãs americanos na passada terça-feira, 2 de Setembro, e foi um relativo sucesso para a cadeia de televisão CW. No entanto, apesar de ter atraído 4,9 milhões de telespectadores, a nova série não convenceu a crítica.Se "Beverly Hills 90210" foi inovadora e surpreendente no início dos anos 1990, aparentemente não se pode dizer o mesmo de "90210". Será que já vimos tudo o que havia para ver sobre o quotidiano teenager?
A crítica
90210
(Series -- The CW; Tuesdays, 8p.)
By LAURA FRIES
More than just a famous zip code, “90210” is easily the CW’s most-hyped show of the fall season, and the struggling netlet is banking on all of the buzz to draw big ratings. This spinoff, eight years after the first series ended, is a pallid copy of the original fish-out-of-water story, only with shinier cars, fancier clothes and Botox aplenty.
Sticking absurdly close to the same formula as the original, down to the opening theme and the filming style, the new version lacks that same sense of wonder and awe that Beverly Hills decadence and excesses once held over viewers. Thanks to Paris Hilton and reality TV, not much of what happens at the fictional West Beverly Hills High School seems all that shocking. As it is, the show coasts by mainly on a wave of nostalgia and stunt casting.
The two-hour premiere, a combination of the first and second episodes, sets the stage for plenty of drama for Kansas natives Annie Wilson (Shenae Grimes) and her adopted brother Dixon (Tristan Wilds) as they navigate their way among the brazen bloggers and posh cliques of their new school. Making matters worse, their dad, Harry Wilson (Rob Estes) is the new principal.
