    Taxidermy would have made a great subject of a documentary special. But as a competition show? It's as lively as the animals displayed.

    Immortalized is the better of the two ["Freakshow" being the other] because it revels in its own absurdity.

    AMC should stick to their scripted shows instead of adventuring further into the reality show outlet. Here's the reason: "Immortalized" looks interesting on the face, but once you delve into the show it is poorly executed, boring, incoherent, and practically useless.

A combination of it's lackluster judges and host leave the show irritating at times as their continual narration is trivial. Finally, the contestants themselves seem like poorly paid actors trying to spew what is given to them. Overall, this show should be avoided unless you're interested in bore-fests.… Full Review »
