Privileged is a new comedy on the CW about a Yale graduate who takes a job tutoring rich twins in order to further her career as a writer. I think you should watch it and here's why.
- Joanna Garcia is completely charming as Megan. Though she sometimes slips to the side of neurotic I like how the show is focused on how she balances her relationships with the twins, her best friend Charlie, boyfriend Will and crazy family while remaining smart and slightly goofy.
- It's set in Palm Beach, Florida - a nice change from the typical LA and NYC.
- Great music selections - my favorite thus far is the Cary Brothers remake of the Sixteen Candles classic "If You Were Here"
- All scenes involving Marco and Rami - the Baker's snarky chef and butler
- Megan and Will's relationship. Many times when the super couple of a show gets together the results are disappointing as the building of sexual tension was the only thing making them interesting. Wegan have managed to stay relevant while actually evolving as a couple.
- The return of the OC's Michael Cassidy to your small screen
- The dynamic between Megan and the twins is sweet but believable
- James Franco's little brother Dave as cute nerd Zach. He's the Seth Cohen to a new generation. Favorite quote "I don't party. I don't even like to use the word party as a verb."
- Beautiful people in beautiful clothes.
- And finally the show was created by Rina Mimoun. Mimoun has been the brains behind shows such as Everwood, Jack & Jill, Pushing Daisies and Gilmore Girls. She makes shows with heart that are all too often short-lived. Don't let Privileged be another casualty and give it a chance! (Tuesdays 9PM on the CW)
