Depois de "Commander in Chief", chegou a vez de "Love Monkey" terminar da mesma maneira: pela metade, sem respostas para algumas tramas, e no melhor dos momentos. Esta série (como tal como a primeira citada) poderia e deveria continuar sendo produzida, e eu fico tentando imaginar motivos para ela não ter 'pegado'...
"Love Monkey" tem diálogos inteligentes e rápidos (mas não tão rápidos como em "Gilmore Girls"), uma turma de amigos fiéis e afinados (mas não tão dependentes como em "Friends"), e música, muita música. E música boa, pop e contemporânea.
A pergunta que fica é: 'porque séries assim acabam'? Além, é claro, de outras perguntas (referentes à trama da série) que nunca terão respotas...moreless

QUOTES (10)
ADD QUOTES-
Tom: (to Wayne's parents) Here's what I want you guys to think about. Before I came here to True Vinyl, I wanted to sign Wayne, as you recall, very badly. And yet I told you to go with an established label. And you did. You came here. Now, I want to tell you how often that happens in the music world. Precisely, never. And now I'm telling you that it is in Wayne's best interests to stay at this label. And if you don't believe that, then you don't trust me and you absolutely are at the wrong label.
