Wasteland Audience Reviews

Freaktana A Major Disappointment
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
preppy-3 I saw this show on network TV when it came out. I tuned in because Kevin Williamson wrote it and I think he's great. I was expecting the worst--a show about whiny 20 somethings--but I was pleasantly surprised. It was written and acted and had (for TV) a realistically played gay guy (Don Montgomery Jr. was great--and very handsome). Also the scene where he came out to his friend was (for TV) pretty bold. He tells him when they're taking a shower at the gym! U get a look at a extras butt and Montgomery ALMOST shows everything when his towel swings off. To be honest I'm surprised they got away with that. And his friend is very accepting. Just great.It was pulled due to low ratings--they SAID it would return with changes. Naturally we never saw it again. No classic but very good. Worth seeing--if you can.
jayjaysaldana I loved this show. The cast had great chemistry. There were many storylines that had potential. The problem with the show was it's time slot. It was up against MUST SEE TV on NBC and THE WORLD SERIES on FOX. The show probably would have done better on another network as well. Although only 3 episodes aired it left a good impression. I Would have loved to be able to see all 13 episodes that were taped. Great show!
Kyleshivers Wasteland is more than just your average television series, it is beyond most shows with its up-and-coming actors and actresses living in New York with a Kevin Williamson style. I taped the first episode and I was surprised at how interesting this show really is. Playing the naive and pure Dawnie, Marisa Coughlan does a wonderful job and her character is truly believable. I think that this show will really boost her career as a serious actress. We also rarely see Rebecca Gayheart in a sweet and flirtatious role. I think a lot of people will really enjoy this show no matter how old you are. I am in my teens and I still enjoy the show because it is weird to wonder what they must be going through and that I could possibly be like that when I am in my late twenties. ABC did a good move when they picked up "Wasteland," for their fall lineup.
Alan E To all fans of Kevin Williamson. Behold his latest triumph! While 'Dawson's Creek' focused its themes coherently towards the first coming of age, his new television series 'Wasteland' will most definitely hit it big with the teen and twenty something demographic, when this well produced show focusing on the second coming of age hits the air!I was actually fortunate enough to receive the original pilot episode as well as the remade new pilot.The original pilot was in fact lily white, but never the less terrific all the same. Dawnie the 26 year old virgin lives in a huge apartment in New York with her two best friends, Russell a hot and I mean hot TV soap hunk who is in fact gay and terrified of being outed. He has a one night stand in the pilot. His agent is Jesse, a sleek bad to the bone girl who smokes too many cigarettes, drinks to much and finds out that her boyfriend Kurt cheated on her. She is the shows bitch, yes! Their other friends include Sam, a private eye from the South who is desperate to be taken seriously by her male contemporaries and then there is Vandy, a struggling musician by day bartender by night who we find out still secretly loves Sam. Tye who emerges in the pilot out of nowhere was the college campus stud who slept around and dumped Dawnie, when she failed to sleep with him. She can be seen constantly slapping him in the pilot.The new pilot has a few additions and changes. Sam (played by Rebecca Gayheart) has now had her profession changed to a legal secretary (more believable), and acts as assistant to Jeffrey D. Sams character who is the district attorney. We see in the new pilot, sexual tension arising which will lead to an interracial relationship. Monica Keena (who played Abby on 'Dawson's') joins the cast (but I had better keep her role a secret for fear of hate mail).So there you have it. A terrific show, terrific premise and a hot young cast, the show will be more successful than 'Dawson's Creek' I think. To anyone out there wishing to know more, feel free to email me.
