Gina Rodriguez stars in “Not Dead Yet,” a new ABC sitcom following the “Jane the Virgin” alum playing a woman scrambling to get her life together. Although it has its charms, it’s decidedly average.
Premiering Feb 8 , the show was created by David Windsor and Casey Johnson and is about Nell Serrano , a mid-thirties woman who has returned to her hometown of Pasadena several years after moving to London for a relationship that went up in flames. She’s trying to reconnect with old friends such as Sam , the lifestyle editor at the local newspaper. But in Nell’s absence, Sam has become a mom and isn’t available for spontaneous nights out, anymore.
For example, when Lexi stresses about the paper having low readership and wants to do a story on a trendy topic like drugs, she turns to an intern and says, “We’re going to enroll you at ‘Euphoria’ high school, somebody wire this kid up!” and a colleague has to remind her that“Not Dead Yet,” is not going to evoke gut-busting laughter, but there are plenty of wacky side characters to inject some fun, from Nell’s fastidious roommate to an overly competitive smug intern at her job.
“Not Dead Yet,” is more tepid than it should be. But it’s a fine Gina Rodriguez vehicle, and if you want to watch a network sitcom, you could do worse.
