just watch it!
In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
View MoreOne of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
View MoreThe American Embassy has just started screening here and, after watching the first two episodes, I had decided that this was a series I would watch. I am dismayed to learn that it was canceled after only six episodes, and that the final three episodes were not broadcast. With only three episodes listed in my guide, I am yet to learn if I will see the final three episodes. In any event, I found this program very entertaining as a television drama (this is not a documentary!!!)and the characterizations, treatment of material and resolutions both intelligent and satisfying. With the present invasion of our screen with rubbish "reality television", I search out good programs and was happy to come across The American Embassy. I join the chorus for its reinstatement.
View MoreFinally a show comes along that I was hooked on from the first episode. American Embassy was one of the best shows I have seen in a long time. Now I have nothing to watch or appreciate on tv.I think with better advertising to proper target markets and demographics this show could be more successful than Ally McBeal and Felicity combined (because they were never really that great to begin with).I could easily say this was one of my all time favorite television shows ever. Emma was someone young females can relate too and look up to, a woman trying to find her way and figure herself out in a foreign country.If the network had any brains they would re- introduce Emma Brody to television viewers and give it a decent chance at gaining a larger viewership. I feel that out of the people I know, I was the only one that had even heard of this show or watched it because advertising was so pathetic. I think Arijta Beirikas could be a big star someday.
View MoreI watched "The American Embassy" from the show's premiere. I fell in love with it right away. The writing was clever, funny, and much better than most new shows I've seen lately (and significantly better than "Ally McBeal"). Arija Bareikis is great as Emma Brody. The audience can believe that she is mature and intelligent enough to be a vice consul.I am deeply disappointed that FOX has decided to cancel the series. I was looking forward to the show every week. I sincerely wish they would have given the show more of a chance. I guess I have to go back to watching movies on Mondays for lack of anything better on TV.
View MoreEmma Brody, ah the lovely, naive, sweet, inexperienced Emma Brody. A new vice counsel assigned to the American embassy in England must deal with the culture shock of a new country while turning a corner in her life after she catches her fiance cheating on her. Why do we care about such minutia, I don't know. If someone can clue me in, please write.Coming from Jersey Films I expected this TV offering to have a brain in its head but apparently someone thought that 'Felicity goes to London' would make a helluva show.What could've been relevant and topical in this day and age, comes off as being hollow, effervescent (and I don't mean that in a good Schwepp's kind of way), and ultimately frustrating for not delivering on its interesting premise.If not for, cute as a button, Arija Bareikis I wouldn't bother tuning i but then again I thought the human toothpick, Calista Flockhart, was cute too but I never got around to watching a single episode of Ally McBeal.Lord help my weak ways.
