Review of Suburgatory

Suburgatory (2011–2014)
4/10
Someone has been miscast
14 March 2012
I'm usually not a fan of TV series, but I watched a few episodes of "Suburgatory" because Alicia Silverstone have a small part in it. At first I tough it was only glorifying stupidity, especially watching Jane Levy in the role of Tessa Altman who is horribly miscast here, but I decided to continue watching it even if only to see Alicia. Jeremy Sisto is excellent, and he seem to be a very nice guy, but his character have more of a supporting role so it's not enough to make the show pleasant to watch, however I tough they had something... While watching episode two I was trying to find what was wrong with it when I remembered seeing actress Missi Pyle for a few seconds at the beginning of episode one in the role of a waitress, it's evidently the perfect actress to play "Tessa Altman", she would basically being herself... I gave the show a 4, but with the crazy writing and Missi Pyle (real name Andrea Kay Pyle) playing Tessa Altman in my opinion it would become at least a 7, but more probably a 8 or even maybe a 9... Also as I said Jeremy Sisto is very good, but I'm not sure he's the right person to play George Altman, they could at least try adding a touch of craziness by putting actor Jason Gray-Stanford instead, he played the clumsy Lieutenant Disher in the TV series "Monk" but he's capable of playing a more serious character than that...
