Hello everyone! It’s nice to be back after two months. You
might remember a blogpost from July 14th of last year in which I
talk about the announcement of Lindsay Lohan’s docu-series on the OWN network.
Well, today was the finale of the seven-episode show and I will be giving my
personal points of view. So, if you haven’t finished watching, stop reading as
there will be spoilers.
I
can’t say I didn’t like it since I watched each episode religiously; however, I
had so many issues with the show! First of all, I was taken away from the
experience many times (especially at the beginning when I was figuring out the
tone of the show) because it wasn’t strictly shot like a docu-series, and there
was a lot of intervention by the crew. Audio was really bad on some scenes, such
as Lindsay’s audio when she’s being interviewed by Oprah at Dina’s house on
episodes three and four, and the literary agent’s audio in the sixth episode.
One of the things that made me laugh took place on the fifth episode. It’s a
scene with the personal assistant, AJ, and someone else having a conversation
on the street. People are walking by, aware that they’re on camera but not
knowing what to do. They look at the camera, try to hide from it, walk quickly,
etc. I just thought it was pretty funny, but also wondered where the second
camera was.
Story
wise, Lindsay was pretty much a lost cause until the last episode, maybe? I
sympathized with many of the people around her who didn’t get the credit they
deserved, which are AJ, the sober coach, and the best character of the show,
her personal assistant. I am happy though that the show didn’t really take
sides and didn’t mind showing Lindsay be a total b****, as the Indonesian lady
from the “natural lighting” photo shoot called her. (I love that they showed
that).
