Abominable and the Invisible City – The Ditch Sitch

  • Title: Abominable and the Invisible City – The Ditch Sitch
  • IMDb: link

“The Ditch Sitch” suffers from one of oldest cliches of children’s television with adults being dumb and/or unreasonable in order for the plot to play out. In this case the adult is a building developer () irate of a creature continuously stopping her construction of her latest project that goes to extremes to see it destroyed. The episode does feature an interesting creature in the magical jellyfish along with a nice message with Yi (Chloe Bennet), Jin (Tenzing Norgay Trainor), and Peng‘s (Ethan Loh) teaching her a lesson about living with the magical creatures, although it’s possible you might get whiplash from how quickly that lesson is taken to heart.

Married by Mistake

Knowing Chloe Bennet is fantastic, I’ll forgive her quite a bit, even dragging me into this convoluted romcom tale of a woman who finds herself in a triangle between the brother she married (Blair Penner) after a drunken night of shared sorrow and the one she immediately falls for (Anthony Konechny). Despite the fact that she doesn’t really know either brother very well, and the bland looking catalog models make Tom Brady look exotic by comparison, Riley (Bennet) finds herself living a lie with one brother while pinning for the other and attempting to help save the family business from recent poor management by the pair’s father (Eric Keenleyside).

Dave – Met Gala

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Dave – Met Gala
  • IMDb: link

We don’t get nearly enough of Chloe Bennett in “Met Gala,” who is limited only to the opening scenes spending time with Dave (Dave Burd). Notable for a number of celebrities playing themselves, the episode instead focuses on Dave’s desire to make a splash at his first Met Gala where nothing really goes to plan. The only silver lining for Dave in an evening of suprises and a failed spectacle stunt, is unexpectedly hitting it off with Rachel McAdams which sadly feels like early death bells for Dave and Robyn’s (Bennett) relationship despite how well its going between the pair. There are some other subplots involved, but I’ll admit my interest peaked with Bennett on-screen and lagged through much of the rest of the episode including the marginally-zany gala shenanigans.

Dave – Rebirthday

  • Title: Dave – Rebirthday
  • IMDb: link

Chloe Bennett reprises her role as Robyn in “Rebirthday” when she comes out to visit Dave (Dave Burd) and gets roped in by his friends in getting him to a surprise party for his birthday. The episode continues the cute awkwardness of the pair together, and even if it almost gets lost in a rather basic romcom setup of Robin needing to lie to Dave for a good reason, which leads to new problems, coming clean with the truth early saves the episode and brings the pair even closer together as Dave can bare his own truth about recent events.
