Review: Being Erica season finale “too pat”
From Bill Brioux at TV Feeds My Family:
- Being Erica Goes Through the Green Door
“The ending was a little too pat, leaving this series at a point where anything could happen next. Too much of anything, actually; there was no hook left to tease you where it might all lead. You could hand this series off to a whole other room full of writers at this point, or make it a half hour, or put a bow on it and thank the half million who tune in faithfully each week with promises of a season two DVD set.” Read more.

Review: Being Erica season finale
From Myles McNutt of Cultural Learnings:
- Season Finale: Being Erica – “The Importance of Being Erica”
“The Importance of Being Erica is a strong finale that wants to pretend that the show figured all of this out, and that the season worked in a way that led to Erica’s emotional and career realizations. That’s stretching too far, but it’s another sign that even in its occasional problems there is a very good show that occasionally comes to the surface here (and that, if the show learned its lessons, could dominate in the third season).” Read more.
