"Great"

By TrueTvWatcher, Nov 02, 2011 Report Abuse

All About Tough Love was a great episode of Privileged and I really enjoyed watching this episode because there was a lot of drama, intrigue and character development. Megan visits Lily in prison and lets her know that the family isn't bailing her out, and this leads to some surprising decisions by Megan and Lily's mother. I thought it was great to see a softer side of Sage as she has begun dating Luis. I liked their scenes together as they try to figure out how to interact with each other. Marco is heart sick for Keith watching every one else around in love. Rose had her romantic moments as well. I look forward to watching the next episode!!!!!

Privileged started out as a fresh dramedy that brought a little bit of life into The CW's generally dull lineup of shows geared exclusively to girls 14-20. But since then the show has transitioned to a purely overdramatic program. The once sweet humor of Rose and Sage, and the quirkiness of Megan has vanished like a trick by a magician. Instead Megan is a plain college graduate and Rose is like a poor man's Blair Waldorf.

I understand the show needs to change to try and attract new viewers, but it's just not what it once was. They're trying too hard to be serious when its light-hearted nature is what made me a fan in the first place.moreless

This was a good episode, there are a lot of drama. Megan's sister was in jail and they talked about leaving her there. I am glad that they were going to do that she really needs to wake up. I can't believe that she was trying to find a lawyer for her husband but not for herself stupid. I like will a lot but am very mad that he got involved in the situation with Megan's jailed sister, but then again I am happy because it got the **** of a mom off the show I really hated her. The charater and the acting. Sage and her new boy were totally cute, and I like how she is handing the whole money think, I think he is having more of a problem with it than she is. Cute.moreless

Everyone starts to understand that although they are all different they can all make things work.

"Superb"

By hrgaffney, Jan 15, 2009 Report Abuse

This was a really nice episode of Privileged. Sage and Rose both discovered that although they are very different from their current squeezes they can work things out. Sage in particular, opened up and told some things about her childhood that had not been great. Megan had a tough time with her sister, Lily, being arrested for something her husband did. It was particularly sad when it turned out that her mother Shelby had conned them all and got a huge amount of money off Will, supposedly to bail Lily out. Instead she just vanished with it. Megan and Will's relationship teetered a bit because of it all. Overall, a good, well-crafted episode.moreless

- Sage: The point is, I totally get the knife dream. Okay? So we're not so different. End of fight. Luis: Love that story, but we're pretty different. Sage: So what? Big whoop, everybody's different. Megan and Will, Rose and Zach. Your parents were from two different cultures and they turned out fine. The point is, you promised me a date and I just showed you my kittens in a basket. So I expect something in return. And if you make a dirty kittens joke, I will beat you with this. Edit
- Luis: Someone laminated your puzzle? Sage: That's not the sad part. Luis: Really? I think it might be. Sage: Laurel had her assistant do it. Then she framed it and gave it to me as a gift. She didn't ask. She just did it. She thought it was nice, but I never got to finish my first 5000-piece puzzle. Which totally sucked. Edit
