RINGER Recap: “If You’re Just an Evil Bitch Then Get Over It”

Comments Off on RINGER Recap: “If You’re Just an Evil Bitch Then Get Over It”
You know a show is really going downhill when the main character, the one who you’ve been following and supposedly rooting for all season, is close to death, and you honestly don’t care.
Such is the case with RINGER, which, in my opinion, had one of its worst episodes this week. Characters were dumber than usual, the writing was not good and the climax was sleep-inducing.
Am I being too harsh? Probably, but as a viewer, I deserve more – and so do you.
