The Minor Accomplishments Of Jackie Woodham – Season One

 

Picture: C     Sound: C+     Extras: C-     Episodes: C

 

 

Why are films, dramatic TV series and even reality TV shows about Hollywood so shallow, silly, predictable, condescending and bad?  Because they do not take their subject seriously enough, might be playing it too safe and displays knowledge of the town, business and its product badly.  The latest offender is the unbelievably lame recent TV series The Minor Accomplishments Of Jackie Woodham created by and starring Laura Kightlinger.

 

She is the title character and the series is the equivalent of the vanity project feature films we used to suffer though all the time.  Nobody talks like this, the world the show paints never feels real and people talk at, not to each other.  All the characters are two-dimensional and the only thing people will get out of this show is not liking the film business and maybe even thinking that it being this way is why so many films are so bad.  Minor accomplishments indeed!

 

The letterboxed 1.78 X 1 image is weak in color, detail, depth and is pale throughout, even if it is consistently so.  Add the shaky camerawork that we get too often and this is not easy to sit through.  The Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo has no surrounds and is not recorded that well throughout to begin with.  Extras include a preview for the next season and an introduction featurette to the show.
