Review of Ringer

Ringer (2011–2012)
7/10
Wow, certainly zips along at a fair old pace!

Like most other people I watched this because I was a huge Buffy fan and was always glad to see SMG back on the screen. With Ringer she has a much more challenging role, trying to play 2 sisters who are physically absolutely identical but light years apart in terms of their personalities and circumstances. Also nice to see Amber Benson guest starring as one of Bridget's stripper pals, a very radical departure from Tara. Shame we never get to see her perform and that she doesn't have any scenes with SMG.

So what happened next? Personally I was looking for the pair to be reconciled. Who knows, maybe they will be? Or maybe they'll still stay apart, Siobhan using her appearance to burgle Henry and Andrew's apartments and start over again with her twins, she seems an extremely resourceful lady with no shortage of brains and looks she can exploit. Not least she knows that Henry killed Tyler and it would be unthinkable that she wouldn't use that against him at some point (at the end of the series the sister's circumstances are effectively reversed from what we see at the beginning). What happened to Malcom? Is he the body the FBI found in the final episode and if so was her killed by Bodicay or by Andrew? Or if we'd made it to a second season would he have popped up again? Will Andrew take Bridget back? Will he ever find out about his new twin daughters?

So all told I enjoyed Ringer very much and would definitely have watched a second season, shame we never got one.
