I never watched the original Melrose Place but I watched the premiere of the remake tonight mostly just to see is Ashlee Simpson-Wentz is as bad an actress as I expected. And while I was disappointed to not be able to draw a conclusion about Simpson because she was not on screen for any significant amount of time, I do not feel like I wasted my time.
The show is set around a group of people who are connected because they all live in the same apartment complex. When the body of the landlord is found in the courtyard pool after she has been stabbed, all of the tenants seem upset. Throughout the premiere episode there is tons of backstabbing and all of the characters are using one another. Everyone lies and has secrets; Almost everyone seemingly had a reason to have killed the landlord.
This is not some high school show, but it is just as smutty as, say, Gossip Girl. But I do think this was an intriguing pilot. It peaked my interest, but I'm still not sure it makes me want to watch every week. We'll have to see if I end up following it. But as for you, I'd love to hear if you watched and if so if you enjoyed it. Also, are there any diehard Melrose Place fans who watched the original and also watched tonight's new episode? If so, does it satisfy those who have waited years for another taste?
