All About The Big Picture

All About The Big Picture was a perfect and entertaining episode of Privileged and it was fun to watch this episode as Marco made a business proposal to Laurel and Sage made an important decision about her and Rose's celebrity careers, while Megan was torn between her family and Will. It was really interesting to watch the story play out and I thought it was well written, the characters had a lot of development, and it ended well. I look forward to watching the next episode!!!!!!!!!

Privileged is a personal favourite of mine and yet so many people hardly know it exists. The characters a well-drawn and this episode was a fine example of that. One of my favourite characters, Marco, was really good here. Not only did he deliver his usuual wit and sarcasm with aplomb but he also showed his heart-warming side when he talked about the restaurant that he and Keith were to have opened together. Mehan and Will still have their ups and downs, much as to be expected when their backgrounds are so different. I hope they can be happy together. Rose and Sage are also growing up and becoming a lot more thoughtful and less spoilt rich brats. Privileged is well worth a watch.moreless

Without a doubt, this episode of a downward spiraling series has proven that Privileged still has its spark, as for the second straight week I thoroughly enjoyed the episode.

What is it about Privileged that we once liked? Was it its quirky tone, its flawed characters or its ability to smoothly mix comedy and drama? After about 6 episodes or so, Privileged talked the talked but didn't walk the walk. It became so absorbed in relationships (Megan and Will, Sage and Luis, Rose and Zach, Charlie and Mandy) that it lost focus on Megan's family drama, Megan's relationships with the girls and several sub-characters that added entertainment and depth to the show (Notably the merely seen Lily and Laurel).

But finally, Privileged has seemed to end the loll. Megan's mother leaving was something hugely important to the series as it brought back Lily and we saw the father tempted to going back to old drinking habits. Although Sage and Rose are still stuck in a boy plot the series has now proven to be able to make it work, at least partially. Laurel is still heavily underused, as we see so much more of the Megan's father now.

Privileged's drama here stopped being so over-the-top and was more subtle, real and heavy, then a simple breakup that was turned into the end of the world. The quirky and subtle comedy is enjoyable, and so for now, Privileged is once again on my what-to-watch.moreless

Love the way their true colors showed.

8.0

By DoddsDonnelly, Jan 22, 2009

I am glad that rose and sage picked there boys over the parties. I liked how you saw sages really colors when she said she wanted to make money on her own and take care of her and her sister. I felt so bad for megans sister and not being able to see her mom before she left. although I am glad that she is gone cause i really didn't like her. I felt bad for megan's boyfriend her really likes megan and her just thought that he was helping. I liked this episode a lot it was good light drama.moreless

Rose and Sage experience trouble with their relationships.

7.5

By thefanof, Jan 22, 2009

Is this the final episode of Privileged? I certainly hope not as this is one of the most entertaining programs on The CW with compelling characters and drama.

Privileged has the unique ability to being tell hilarious, topical jokes one minute and the next switch a super serious family/relationship trouble moment. Desperate Housewives is the only show I can think of that has a similar presentation style. The Will and Megan relationship is also one of the rare items on TV where the viewer actually roots for their happiness. Other shows have you cheering for the bad guys but not Privileged.

Dave Franco continues his guest stint on the show, and while not as talented as his brother his dorkiness is starting to grow on me a little bit.moreless
