What Did You Think of ABC’s ‘Eastwick?’
What did you think of ABC’s Eastwick? Please leave your comments below.
I found the show to be both surprising and disappointing at the same time.
Here’s what I didn’t like:
- Too many characters. We were introduced to too many people at once. I read the online character guide and I was still a bit lost.
- Campy. It was campy, but not in a cool way like Buffy. It was just a bit cheesy when it could have been racy or heartfelt instead.
- No chemistry between the three main witches.
- The archetypes of the three witches were pushed a bit too much; the exaggeration made them seem unreal. Believe me, I practically AM the newspaper chick (Joanna), and even she was exaggerated.
- That guy’s voice. What the hell…they hired Mr. Moviephone?!
Here’s what I adored:
- The opening of the entire series. The fall festival, and overall the character of Bun. It felt like home within five minutes and I could practically taste the apple cider that must have been lingering around somewhere.
- The description of magic in the storybook as read by Bun. Simple, yet exactly as I see it in real life and in fiction.
- The trio did not yet know their power. The viewer gets to discover it along with them.

I absolutely loved this show! I have read on other sites that people felt that it was taking too long for the show to go anywhere but I disagree. I have not been bored with this show yet. I love Lindsay Price’s character, Joanna. It seems as if Lindsay can’t catch a break because her last show Lipstick Jungle was cancelled as well. I was shocked when I heard that this show was being cancelled. It seems as if everytime I find a show that I like it gets cancelled.
I feel like ABC shouldn’t even even air the rest of the episodes because it will just disappoint me even more.
