Editorial Review:
An edgy, contemporary spin-off of the iconic drama Beverly Hills, 90210, the new 90210 looks at life through the eyes of Annie Wilson and her brother Dixon, whose first day at West Beverly Hills High School leaves no doubt they’re not in Kansas anymore.
90210: The Complete First Season Reviews:
BH 90210 
2009-11-02 - Good buy! Was able to catch up on the show commercial-free! Would recommend this product to true fans.
Yeah, I don't think so.. 
2009-10-12 - This was so painful to watch and the characters were difficult to care for. It was up and down, it was good and bad, and it was over and out. The stories were anticlimactic. Here's some advice for all of the people on this series: go hard or go home.
Fast and perfect!
2009-09-20 - I received the product before the estimated delivery date which is just wonderful. Therefore I am pleased.
Same zip code, new dramas
2009-09-09 - Ok so last night I watched the season two premiere of 90210 and the series premiere of reboot Melrose Place (both super super good btw, but I digress). After watching the second season premiere of 90210, I have to say I am having a flashback to the original Melrose Place. Remember how the first season of Melrose, everyone was nice and even though there was bitchy it wasn't too bitchy .... then came season two. Well this is looking to be the same. First off there are some cast changes ... Dustin Milligan (Ethan) is no more. Tabitha (Jessica Walter) is gone, and the Wilsons even live in a new house (I guess they sold the other one).
The feel of the first season is definitely different. I enjoy the first season of 90210 a lot. Season two will definitley march to the beat of a different drum.
I'd rather be on the East Coast with 'Gossip Girl' 
2009-08-31 - Comparing 90210 to Gossip Girl (as people will inevitably do) is a bit like comparing The Bond films to the Jason Bourne trilogy.
This will sound odd, but allow me to explain.
Both are big-budget shows which have very high production values in terms of editing, sound, cinematography, amazing wardrobes, etc
But, just like James ended up looking like a dork compared to Jason, we see a similar effect here.
90210 is like Bond - it has glitz, glamour, action, impossibly good-looking people, but with wafer thin characterisation, and suffers from a weak script.
Gossip Girl, the Bourne of the two (although it also has its fair share of glamour and hot people), has far better acting, feeding off a much more intricate, slick script.
Just like Bond flicks, the 90210 cast lacks lustre. Don't expect to find very strong performers like the deliciously Machiavellian Ed Westwick. With one very notable exception - Jessica Stroup (Silver). This actress is destined for big things.
Crucially, although Shenae Grimes (Annie) is talented, she lacks the gravitas to hold down such a key role in the show.
My money's on New York and not L.A here.....
