    i think it is one of the best shows up with harper's island,gossip girl,the good wife i watch it every week without fail has heaps of twists and turns and enjoyable to watch for all the people who actually gave it a chance after its boat scene. and sarah michelle is talented to have played to different parts in the one show.

    I made it 2 minutes and 36 seconds into this show, but on the plus side that's longer than I lasted through any other show on the CW.

    Another show starring the wildly untalented Sarah Michelle 'Will-Only-Ever-Act-On-Second-Rate-Networks-Because-She-Can't-F'ing-Act' Gellar. I've read a lot of hype about this show before it aired and almost IMMEDIATLY how crappy the special effects were AFTER it aired. But what I didn't read about was the unholy acting in the FIRST scene after the initial commercial break. You know the one, Sarah is sitting... more thier in a group of people waxing on about herself...I made it through her second sentance and threw my TV out the window.
    There are 2 signs of a lazy and possibly sociopathic writer who hates you and everything you stand for; Thier stories are about Amnesia or Twins. These are the staples, nay the hallmarks of BAD writing. Not only is this show about twins, but it tests the waters of your patience by letting SMG prove she can't act in TWO roles.
    My idea: Same show, same special effects, same premice and dialogue; the twist? The twins are played by Danny Devito and Arnold Schwarzenegger! BOOM! Now THAT'S television gold people!

    To be totally honest, I did not expect much from this show. However I was shocked that after the first... more episode, I was hooked. I hope this is not one of those shows that gets cancelled after a season or two. It has such an intriguing storyline

    One of the best shows to have come out in recent years, "Ringer" delivers with each and every episode. Some things I just did not see coming, some I did. But it is so well crafted, the actors work well together and it is the first real bite role Sarah Michelle Gellar has done since "Buffy The Vampire Slayer".
    For... more mystery, suspense, look no further than, RINGER.

    Siobahn is such an evil twisted sister, and the viewer immediately feels sorry for Bridget. She has turned her life around, by unexpected means, and all I am waiting for is what is going to happen next. I do not want to give away plot details, but the whole twin / twisted sister gig is a really great storyline. Waiting to see how they all connect by season's end will be fantastic. So many good shows have been taken off the air, I just hope this one is given the chance.

    It's inert, lackluster and a trifle old-fashioned. Even the action scenes feel geriatric. It's also vaguely silly--a big reason the... more venerable good twin/evil twin gambit is better suited to comedy than drama.

    REASON TO WATCH Sarah Michelle Gellar . . . and Sarah Michelle Gellar
    WHAT IT'S ABOUT Way out on the dusty high plains of Wyoming, an exotic dancer at some cowboy lounge has witnessed the murder of a colleague. And now, she must testify. Bridget Cafferty is reluctant because a local crime boss did the deed, so, rather than face likely... more retribution, she skips to New York, to hook up with long-estranged twin sister, Siobhan.
    Siobhan is a cold, calculating type -- yes, the evil twin -- who suddenly disappears, leaving Bridget, who's now fleeing the cops, to assume her identity. Bridget thinks Siobhan committed suicide, but viewers may come to other conclusions. Meanwhile, Bridget becomes Siobhan, mostly to hide from the Wyoming mobster who wants her dead. Bridget quickly learns her treacherous sis has dark secrets, as she also dodges the cop Victor Machado hot on her trail.
    MY SAY Sarah. Michelle. Gellar. Those names remain magic in some TV circles based on the assumption that a cult actress should be able to drag along the cultists from the "Buffy," "Scream" and "Grudge" years. And yeah, Gellar -- or I guess I should say both of her -- looks stunning, as if the intervening years were mere months. But they are not: Gellar, 34, is a devoted mom who has drifted irrevocably beyond the sweet spot of the CW's largely teen demographic.
    This show, in fact, was developed for CBS, which then palmed it off on the kid sister network, all too happy to reunite with the biggest star in its history by far. But "Ringer" doesn't remotely feel like a WB or CW series. Phoebe and Ursula Buffay anyone?
    BOTTOM LINE This will get a quick pickup -- mark my words -- but Buffy Anne Summers fans will wonder why.

    I gave Ringer an honest chance, truly I did, but the bad green screen work, the bland acting and the obvious plot moves just gets me down. I will not be tuning in to this any more unless al else fails.
    And I am sorry to you fans out there but even ABC family does this better with 'The Lying Game'.... more (Does anybody else find it funny that both Buffy and Cordelia Deadly Sibling Rivalry plays Good/Bad twins the same year?)
    No, only the guy who played Hornblower is any good but he can not carry this any further than the Pilot. I know this will upset you Sarah Michelle addicts but she just doesn't pull it off.
