The Secret Girlfriend Review


The Secret Girlfriend (Fiver Thursdays 10:30 pm)

So I’ve watched about two episodes of this show now, and let me tell you I am not impressed; whilst watching the second episode I found myself so bored that eventually I left the room to go and make myself a cup of tea and I don’t even drink tea, so that is obviously saying something.

I started watching this because I liked the concept. I liked the fact that the viewer was included into this plot, and became the main character. It has that role-playing element to it, which was doing so well in the gaming industry. So I had high hopes, hopes that were squashed, as soon as the show came to life on my screen.

Though initially a good idea; the show overall lacks plot substance and characterisation. It seems to mirror films such as the American Pie sequels, where the only theme is sex and having the female cast expose as much flesh as possible.

All I can say is that I'm not surprised it wasn't picked up for a second season.
