Chuck 1.01 - 1.05
Feb. 6th, 2012 01:41 pmChuck is a show I've enjoyed in bits and pieces, but never watched in any organized fashion. I'm not necessarily committing to watching it through now. However, a friend and I staged a two-woman anti-Super Bowl party yesterday that included marathoning Chuck, so I thought I'd give my impressions.
Basically: this is fun, frothy comedy-action of the kind that makes no sense but isn't really supposed to. The point of the show is not sense-making, but of regular joe Chuck Bartowski running around avoiding spy missions to the best of his ability (and usually failing), working at a fictional equivalent of Best Buy, and hanging out with his sister and fellow employees.
( goods and bads )
Conclusion: I'm pretty sure the friend and I will get together for more episodes, so there may be more reportage later. Apparently the next one, 1.06 Chuck vs. the Sand Worm, actually involves some reference to Dune, and I am all over references to Dune.
