'Ringer' was a lot of fun to watch when it aired, but if you marathon it nowadays you're setting yourself up for a disappointment. The show was cancelled and the creators had to write the season into a dead end.Sarah Michelle Gellar of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' fame does a pretty great role here as white trash whose life takes a sharp, unexpected turn when her twin sister is lost at sea. Bridget is an ex-druggie, stripper and loser, whereas her sister Siobhan was wealthy and connected to the New York socialites. But Bridget almost accidentally ends up in a position where she can steal her sister's life - her husband, her house, her stepdaughter, her lover. Soon it turns out that Siobhan's outwardly picture-perfect life had a couple of hardships, too, and they're all thrust on Bridget's less-than-capable shoulders.The premise is endlessly entertaining with all its possibilities of delicious misunderstandings and embarrassing situations. The show takes a turn into thriller territory and has a lot of suspense, cliffhangers and surprises.It also has its faults. It treats its viewers as morons by having endless pointless flashbacks that irritatingly remind us of something that everybody remembers, and the anticlimactic ending ruins the build-up. Still, it was a lot of fun to watch and anticipate future episodes.

Drug addict stripper (Sarah Michelle Gellar) is witness to a murder and hides out from the killer by pretending to be her conveniently missing identical twin sister (Sarah Michelle Gellar) - an icy socialite who married money and blazed a dark trail with shady characters of a different social strata.Absurd premise, unlikeable one-dimensional characters, appalling writing, terrible acting and a dead end plot that could barely be stretched beyond half a dozen episodes. But once you get past what are not exactly negligible obstacles like those you might let yourself enjoy it. This was an extended b-movie with a 1970s/1980s network TV feel and it had its moments.This was a series especially popular amongst tween and teen audiences and reminds me of the adult shows that I enjoyed when I was that age. At that age the details of what happens from point A to point D are not necessarily things you want to sweat so much.Audiences that need B and C (which this series wasn't that good at staging) are not necessarily more sophisticated but are generally older more demanding of subtext. A network like CW can cultivate younger demographics with shows like this knowing the link will have a lesser shelf life than something of more substance.

I really hope they don't cancel this show!! I know that there is word that they already have, but i hope they reconsider. This is a great show! It keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time, and just when you think you can predict what will happen next...the plot thickens. I also really like SMG work...and it was refreshing to see her again in such a diverse role..she does the two sisters great..total personality change each time, excellent acting. CW must stop broadcasting good shows and then taking them away, they are starting to develop a reputation for being inconsistent, and a bad judge of good shows!
