I am watching a new show called Believe off my DVR. It seems to be a "girl with special powers on the run" rip-off of Steven King's Firestarter, except it's total shit... which is surprising given the fact that it was created by Alfonso Cuarón and is being produced by J.J. Abrams. Right now a little girl just started screaming her head off which is exactly the kind of thing I go out of my way to avoid in real life. Why somebody would think I want to listen to this crap as entertainment is beyond me. What's next? A man stares at the camera while chewing with his mouth open and clipping his fingernails?
HELPFUL HINT: If You are creating a television series, try not to actively annoy the ever-loving-shit out of your viewers. And if you do, don't expect them to hang around.
Which is advice I should have given myself when it comes to writing in this blog.
But at least I don't make my viewers sit through a bunch of commercials. That's gotta count for something, right?

Oh good. Now I don’t have to watch it.
I watched the first episode and thought it could have been so much better. Especially after seeing those big hitter names attached to it. I can see some potential in this show, but it’s lost on so many distractions that each one of the characters takes. I get frustrated watching the girl do stupid things (like go after her stuffed animal, knowing it’s going to put her and everyone else in danger). I might watch a few more times to see if it gets better.
