Ah, when one door disappoints, another one shows promise. Watching OTH and then watching Privileged proved just that (LOL, did you really think there's depth to this post? :P). While the show does seem a bit TDWP- or Nannie Diaries-ish, the humor factor is three notches above 90210 (and ten times more well-delivered), and Will, the next door neighbor is hands-down hotter than Ryan the English teacher (sorry, dear).
But seriously, what's not to like? There's good old-fashioned sisterly bonding and disbanding, a funny and witty new gay friend, a sophisticated mentor, an interesting love triangle brewing (and who's not interested in a love triangle? hahaha), and a sheeny, sheeny backdrop. There's no doubt the show has enough pizazz to be worth watching but while the show has more depth and heart than 90210, I can't help but wish they built a more interesting main character (despite the self-proclamation, she's not that quirky). Megan, while not entirely bad, doesn't particularly pop either. Will someone please dump glitter on this girl?
Still, with OTH out, this show is on my radar. I hope it doesn't disappoint. :)
