We Need Girlfriends – Episode 1

The inaugural episode of Ragtag Productions new ongoing web series “We Need Girlfriends.”

2 Swirlies

“Suitcases!”

Sometimes ‘fine’ isn’t enough.

So, I’ll start with the reasons to watch. There’s one… one and a half… very funny scenes where Rod (I think) freaks out on Tom (I think) for going after a girl that he called “squirrel” on. And this creates a somewhat abrupt cliffhanger that actually made me wonder what’s going to happen next. Nice job.

As to the negatives, I won’t dwell on them except to say that everything else about this inaugural episode is fine. The production is fine, the writing is fine, the acting (for the most part) is fine. The first half could be a little faster. The biggest problem is that ‘fine’… well… kinda boring.

Things really picked up in the second half, so maybe the rest of the series will do the same.

This episode raises a tough ethical question. Is it okay to go after a buddy’s “squirrel”? What about you gals? Is there a rule about a guy your BFF has her eye on?
