LSVIXEN XOXO ❤️ Media Review: E01 'Fischer', the Los Santos Sitcom I Didn't Know I Needed (Title Sequence from 'Fischer') Heeeey cuties! I'm back from both Spain and Germany after some glorious vacation time and I'm immediately back in the hot chair ready to serve you up something tasty. Given the fact that I've been practically pickled in gin, toasted by the Mediterranean sun, and now have the brain surface of a smooth, smooth bowling ball, I decided to go easy on myself and deliver you a review of the latest Sitcom released this past Sunday. Here's my breakdown of everything you need to know about Episode 1 of 'Fischer' titled "Washed Up" (Markus Fiskum as Mark Fischer and Mitchell Holt as Eric Fischer) The Cast! 😺 The first episode is chock full of the wacky domestic happenstances of a regular Los Santan by the name of Mark Fischer (Markus Fiskum) and his brother Eric Fischer (Mitchell Holt) and guest stars the vaguely eastern European appliance repairman Darko (Robert Kardum). The performances are what you'd expect from a Sitcom. That includes sitcom's signature M.O. of rapid fire jokes that are often corny, suggestive, funny, and goofy. There's also a surprising reliance on physical comedy in both exaggerated expression and signature LS-style reactions to every day events. Physical comedy is one of those lost arts that had been perfected by the likes of Groucho Marx so it's always wonderful to see it innovated on in the modern day. Honestly, I really enjoyed the characterization work the writer and actors put into these roles and they feel like real goofy dudes who could definitely be found in our weird city. The costumes designed by Stella Elomaa also are fitting for each character and I'd like to shout out her design of Eric Fischer for drip levels that are en pointe. ( ("No." - Darko) Snappy Pacing ! 🔮 The whole pilot is around five minutes with one short commercial break smack dab in the middle. This isn't a long production which is good because the attention span of this entire city is that of a toddler with ADHD stuck inside of a tumble-dryer. The one kiss of death I think this could have had is if it dragged on for too long, but 'Fischer' avoided this fate by keeping the jokes rolling and the shots shifting at a pace that keeps the viewer exposed to the next kicker as soon as the previous one triggers the canned laughter we all have come to know and love. I think my only note in the negative red ink pen was that the dryer sequence might have gone on slightly too long, but this is a minor point and didn't impact my overall enjoyment. The camera work is fun and almost acts as an extra character that draws our attention to both the well-crafted set and to the physical comedy these actors embodied throughout the pilot. (Great character dynamics and a genuinely funny begging scene.) Vixen's Hightlights! 💋 Alright so my highlights are twofold. One is how Darko resolves the payment issue in the most LS way possible. I don't do spoilers so you'll have to see that yourself. Secondly, I loved loved loved the physical comedy when Eric begs to move in with his brother. A-Plus material right there. The dynamics between actors are light-hearted, fun, and genuine. This is pretty big when you realize the main character is also the director which is rarely a feat that works out so seamlessly. (Vinewood Pictures Logo) ALL IN ALL The role of a Sitcom is to take us out of our everyday boring humdrum reality and briefly give us a glimpse into a silly, doofusy, goofy nonsense reality where the mundane aspects of our world are punctuated by humor and absurdity. 'Fischer' managed to do that and the entire cast and crew deserves credit for executing this concept with Los Santos, not as a backdrop. but as a living, breathing character in Mark Fischer's world. It's Los Santos' first locally produced sitcom and I really find that fact to be fun and heart-warmy. It's an easy watch and reminds me the sitcoms I grew up watching with my family. I think a lot of audiences will connect with that feeling of nostalgia and be pretty happy with how it connects to their current everyday life. This isn't super serious. I don't need to read the books before I watch like I did with Game of Thrones. It's a good Sitcom and it made me happy. That's all. Looking forward to future hijinks from these nerds.
