What I'm Watching: Hidden Palms (Series Finale)

Hidden Palms: Season 1, Episode 8 "Second Chances" (F)

This actually aired last Wednesday, but I watched it a week late. I am sad to see this great "O.C." clone go off the air. It is so lovable in its ridiculousness, and the cast is so bad they are good. Watching this finale after the preview revealed "someone will die", I was rooting for the departed to be Johnny, since he really is a boring, fairly unlikeable character. Maria Nolan's death is a bit of a cop-out, but the parting shot of Skip shooting Eddie is interesting. I wish there was more! Best line of the episode is a tie: "I guess I don't want to think that my girlfriend's dad murdered her last boyfriend" from Johnny and "I know I can be a bit shady sometimes" from Cliff. Let's hope for a "Seventh Heaven"-style eleventh hour renewal here.

The show: F (but A for entertainment)
