"Fall TV First Impression: Fox's Red Band Society"
By:
Source: TVLine
Mitovich's
review is effective because of its use of two of the three major rhetorical
appeals. The use of building ethos is the website Mitovich's review is on
because TVLine is a well-known television website. Another use of building
ethos includes Mitovitch listing the cast members of the show and many other
previous shows/movies those actors took part in. He uses pathos as he mentions
that the show, Red Band Society, is about "sick kids," and he gives a brief description as to
what the show is about. There was no use of logos as the review is opinionated,
but it is credible, because of the website the review comes from. He uses claim
of fact by comparing Red Band Society to successful movies such as The Fault in Our Stars and The Breakfast Club and shows like Glee that
share the same concept. Mitovich uses claim of value as he mentions that this
show "has the potential to sneak up on and charm its samplers"
(Mitovich, 1). He states that the show will make the viewer smile. He also
mentions how the narration of the proceedings is from a coma kid's point of
view, which is a unique distinction that the movie offers. His use of the claim
of value shares a desirable effect on the reader. His use of the claim of
policy would be the question of threat at hand, "is the premise, as
heartwarming as it is, sustainable as an ongoing series?" (Mitovich, 1).
The question specifically asks if a show that shares a similar concept to
other successful movies and shows and has the potential to make its audience
smile, be as touching and moving as it is and possibly become an ongoing
series.
Matt wrote a "good" review because he believes that the Red Band
Society would be a wonderful show to watch as it shares a similar concept to
other successful movies and shows and has its own variety of unique
distinctions. He believes that the Red Band Society will appeal to its viewers
emotions, values, desires, and fears.
