Grade: C-
Sarah Michelle Gellar returns to television on CW’s “Ringer,” which premiered Tuesday night. Gellar plays estranged twin sisters, Bridget and Siobahn. Bridget is the bad one who’s dabbled in drugs, prostitution and more, and Siobahn is the rich, classy New Yorker. During the sisters’ strangely casual reunion, Siobahn mysteriously disappears, so Bridget sees no solution other than pretending to be the sister she knows close to nothing about. The show’s premise, though illogical, is slightly interesting, but the producers manage to make this body-swap a bore. Gellar’s acting is one-dimensional and the pilot episode was hardly entertaining. It was an awkward, boring jumble of stereotypical characters, but it might be worth watching to see where it’s going. Key words: “might be.”
