I first became aware of Lucy Hale when she starred in "Life Sentence", the brief TV series about a girl who is dying, decides to live life to the fullest, even getting married in Paris. Until she found out she was cured. Here she is Katy Keene, a young single professional in NYC, living with a strange mix of other young and single people trying to make it. She has a long-time boyfriend who works as a bouncer, they love each other, but when he proposes Katy isn't sure she is ready for that. In 1961 an entertainment executive proclaimed that "TV is a vast wasteland." While that isn't necessarily true, most TV shows actually do fall into that category. "Katy Keene", the show, is a so-so fluff of a TV series, featuring mostly very pretty actors who are capable of pulling off their roles. It is made in the usual formula, each episode has several themes going on and the programming features one of them for a minute, the next for a minute, and soon there is the commercial break. There is absolutely nothing new here, if you like Lucy Hale who is very attractive, then you'll like this show. But to be honest it is just fluff entertainment, something to watch when you have absolutely nothing else that you want to do and it is too early for bedtime. But then the very same can be said for most TV shows.
