There’s a new show flighting on TV every night at the moment, and most of the day as well. Paywatch has both similarities and differences with the late 80′s and early 90′s TV show with a similar sounding name. Both feature a cast clad in red, engaging in adolescent behaviour. Of course the red Speedos and figure hugging one-piece swimsuits have been replaced by red t-shirts that are not quite as revealing. Thank goodness for that given the figures contained within many of them. The objective in Baywatch (ostensibly) was to keep the beaches safe and rescue troubled swimmers, the objective in Paywatch is…..well, actually the objective gets muddier by the day.
