Episode 1: A Dry Copy of An Already Dry Original
My fiancee and I found ourselves watching Oddities (the original) simply due to our regular favorites being out of Season. While it was slow, formulaic and sometimes a little stuffy, it was also relatively unconventional and the shop owners had a very low-key charm we grew to really appreciate and look forward to in each show. When we saw Oddities San Fransico was out we were elated, because we had thought it would really take the first one and push the limits with a new direction and and we had high hopes for brighter personalities. That's a lot of expectations for the first episode, certainly, but the precedent was already set so we felt it was warranted.
To our dismay, this was not the case whatsoever. There are absolutely no improvements to the show, regardless the new shop. The first episode was as boring all the way through as any worst five minutes of it's predecessor. The Oddities formula was in full pitch, making it feel familiar; but unfortunately with the shop...
If you like the off the wall
This show has a lot of appeal. Topics could have been more zanny; monkey and pickled tattos characters were ok
