Eastwick

The pilot represents a polished product that neatly introduces an array of characters and establishes Eastwick as a project with no small measure of potential. As for how well that's realized, as they say, the devil is in the details.

Over the course of the premiere episode, [Paul] Gross grew on me, as did the show itself.

Our gals will turn out to be witches, and while they are innocuously enjoyable (as well as hot), it's hard to imagine them generating enough magic to keep this show around very long.

Overly precious and indifferently cast, this latest attempt to adapt John Updike's novel feels recycled and flat on every level.

I don't exactly know what to say to [a quote from the Updike book], nor did the 1987 film adaptation starring Jack Nicholson, nor does the predictably bland and totally adequate Eastwick.

The Eastwick characters are fairly generic types who are too bland and predictable to be involving.

After a few minutes in front of ABC's bewildering sorcery drama Eastwick, you may wish that Bewitched's Samantha would twitch her nose and make the whole thing disappear.
