Ideally, I would write reviews of every new fall show. Practically, that’s not possible, and in my triage, one of the shows I passed on was the CW’s “Secret Circle,” about which I had very little to say other than that was a decently-executed example of a kind of show I have virtually no interest in. As I’ve mentioned, I don’t inherently care much about witches, vampires, zombies, etc., but can be made to care by excellent and/or novel execution, like “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” This is not that; it’s straight down the middle of what you’d expect. Which many will enjoy, but which I didn’t.
Fienberg offered his own review, and now it’s your turn. Whether you’re a “Vampire Diaries” fan or not, or a big witchcraft lover, what did you think of this? And were you, like me, amused by just how frequently other characters had to tell Britt Robertson just how beautiful she is? (It reminded me of how Leslie always describes Ann on “Parks and Recreation,” but at least there it’s supposed to be a running gag.)
