After weeks of anticipation, the new season of The Game is finally here. With over 100,000 followers, listed over 600 times on twitter, and over 3 millions ‘likes’ on facebook, The Game is looking like it is going to be a hit this season. After the show flopped and was sent off the air, tonight the cast of The Game finally got to redeem themselves.
The Game this season does not seem to be too much different than what the viewers are used to. There is the Typical Tasha Mack being her loud self, Jason Pitts and his now ex-wife Kelly are still trying to ruin eachother’s lives, Derwin and Melanie are still not over their ‘baby mama drama’, and Malik Wright is being the stereotypical athlete. The dynamics of the show have not changed much, but there are a few new faces; Terrence J from BET’s 106 and park, and actress Megan Good.
This first episode was packed with drama, but it seems like it could be too much drama all at once. There were some situations that the viewers could easily predict the outcome. By the looks of things, it appears Malik is going to hit rock bottom soon enough. And finally when Melanie and Derwin have it all together, their relationship will soon be on the rocks.
However, it is safe to say that tonights episode kept the viewers on edge. The Game has a huge fan base, but they are going to have to bring it if they want to stay on the air for good!
Your critique is right on the money. I convinced many who did not watch the show to check it out when I shared the story about fans fighting for a year and a half to get it back on the air. It was trending high on Twitter and the talk of Facebook. Some people even hosted viewing parties. The network may find that 10 pm is too late and many will end up DVRing it which will not help the ratings. Even though that time is perfect for those on the West Coast.
I am a fan of the show. I just hope they can keep the show going without being OVERdramatic.
