The Arrangement

I like it! I am not ashamed to say I really like it. It kept me entertained and left me wanting more like every show should. I love the chemistry between Megan & Kyle. At first when the whole Institute of the Higher Mind came into it, I was a bit skeptical but it works for me and I enjoy that part of the story line as well. A binge worth series. Can't wait for season 2.

I thought the premise of the show would be interesting, and found the first few episodes engaging, so I stuck with it. I'm glad I did. It's a good show - a bit cheesy at times, and some of the supporting actors are annoying, but now in season 2, it's still fun to watch.

I'm not a fan of the primary actress, but it works and is entertaining. Good, soapy, cheesy, entertaining fun.

Every single scene looked like a setup for a porn scene. All of the elements are there-- cheesy lines, shallow plot, beautiful and perfectly proportioned women and men that are nice to look at (with mediocre, but not horrible, acting talent), with some bikini moments and plenty of flirting. They seem like they're just a step away from throwing it all down and going at it, but then each scene just ends, and it transitions to yet another scene that appears to be another setup for porn. I'm too old for that stuff, to be honest, so I held my finger over the fast-forward the whole time expecting to skip over something that never showed up.

The conversation does get a little risqué at times, but compared to other PG-rated shows, this one is mild.

Overall probably not worth spending your time with.

Strong points: It's romantic, but not too cheesy, and it's interesting. Christine Evangelista is very beautiful, she is very sexy, sensitive and I for one think the role fits her. Josh Henderson is also pretty OK and well, Lexa Doig is the cherry on top for me (loved her ever since the Andromeda series). There are also virtually no stupid lines, no unimaginative and dumb discussions like you see in other shows.

Weak points: I tend to think the writer(s) rushed events a little bit. Not gonna say where since I don't wanna be a spoiler, but those who watch the movie will probably see where that happened. I'll watch more episodes though, in order to see if my impression is justified or not. The movie is also somewhat predictable, at least up to the point in which I've watched it. However, that's not entirely a problem since a little bit of predictability is healthy. I've seen many other shows with great potential being destroyed by the "unexpected events" and by "unlikely alliances", which in reality could never happen.

All-in-all, don't expect a Game of Thrones type of story-arc. But if you want to watch an easy-to-watch romantic show with OK lines and beautiful, talented actors, then this is a good show to do just that.

Normally, I'd give it an 8 or 9 tops, but given it's seriously underrate as of now, I decided to give it a 10. Christine Evangelista and Lexa Doig deserve it.

I also don't like to comment on other user's reviews, but 1-3-4 stars? C'mon... It means those people have really no clue what a 1- 3-4 stars movie actually looks like. Also, some seem to have a problem with (and I quote) "beautiful and perfectly proportioned women"...which in itself says enough about that person's character and his review.

To me it feels like it is based on Tom And Katie.... the cult like group controlling everything is similar to Scientology, the whole thing is very familiar to the tabloid stories.
