RINGER Recap: ‘You’re Way Too Pretty to Go to Jail’
March 7, 2012 by Rachel Bennett
Filed under Ringer
Welcome back to another stimulating week of RINGER, GMMR readers!
Of course, I’m being sarcastic, but it is good to be back after taking off last week. (Me, not the show.) Nothing pleases me more than critiquing CW’s most over-the-top show, apart from ONE TREE HILL — thank the TV gods that’s finally being put out of its misery.
Tuesday’s episode of RINGER pretty much sums up my frustration with the drama: The whole episode continues to prove how ridiculous this already far-fetched concept is and pushes the extent of how dumb people can be, yet in the last three minutes or so, it hooks me all over again.

Comments Off on RINGER Recap: ‘Whores Don’t Make That Much’
Oh, RINGER fans. Where do I begin with this week’s episode?
I, it seems unlike a lot of people, actually liked the twist in last week’s episode. I thought it was fitting of Juliet’s character and added some spice that’s been sorely missing.
But I may have been wrong because this week’s episode, partly focusing on last week’s events, was a dud. The writing was inconsistent, the flashbacks were largely unnecessary and the pacing was slow.
Even when RINGER has better episodes, and there have been some I’ve really liked, I find it hard to get excited for the following week. With episodes like this one, I may even forget it’s on at all next Tuesday.
