I Hate You, I Love You. Let's Talk About Related!

Let me first say that really like the theme song which starts off as " I hate you, I love you." It just encompasses how the relationship between siblings has that love/hate kind of relationship. So it is very fitting for this show which is based on the relationship of four sisters.

Related takes place in New York City where the Sorelli sisters live. Ginnie is the oldest who works as a corporate attorney in a high powered law firm. She is married to British software engineer for the music industry, Bob. In the first episode we find out she is expecting their first child. Ann is the second oldest, who works as a therapist. She recently broke up with her boyfriend of six years Danny.  23-year-old Marjee Sorelli is the third sister who works as an event coordinator who stresses out over her celebrity clients while secretly yearning for respect and approval from her three sisters. The youngest of the four is 19 year old Rose. She is very intelligent and accomplished when it comes to science, but decides to change her major from pre-med to experimental theater. At first her family is a little disappointed in her but are slowly learning to accept it.

The show has a mixture of Sex And The City and Friends but maybe that has to do with the fact that the show was created by writers from each of the respective shows. When I first saw it, I didn't many expectations because I thought the show was doomed since it was getting a little too much promotion. I mean they had the ads all over the place. They gave a promo for the show during every commercial break on the channel. And everyone knows that when there is too much hype surrounding a show, that sometimes means it's doomed to get canceled. But it turns out I really like it. It's funny and really shows the sisterly bonds at it's best and at it's worst. The relationships between them are just so realistic that you just get sucked in to their lives. Or that's just me.

I also enjoy the fact that you are able to relate to any sister. It's just a great show with agreat cast full of chemistry. I do hope this show lasts and that the WB keeps it on the air. So check it out and keep your fingers crossed that it stays on the air if you think it is as entertaining as I do.

Until next time.
