Atlanta

I tried watching this despite not liking RM shows, and I was correct in abandoning this. RM is a gross opportunist.

I wish the show had Bree as an MIT grad like in the book. She graduated, but didn't attend the ceremony. An amazing feat in that time.

I hate that the show runners/powers that be didn't make her an MIT grad. She was in the book. Grrr.

I think JB is getting too much in her own way. This show isn't about Brownell and it shouldn't be. Ego, much? Fran and Michael's story is more than finding love after loss. I've seen it said elsewhere the the writers missed an opportunity to possibly have her on the autism spectrum. And it also misses the opportunity in the books where she struggles with infertility. MANY people can relate to that. I'm losing faith in any show runner of a beloved book series. Outlander folks seems to be the only ones who care about staying as close to the source material as possible. I get Shondaland wants to be diverse and they did that with race and it was great. The "Wheel of Time" show runner made it go off the rails. Why adapt a book series and flip off the dedicated book readers who have been loyal for decades?

Elayne is very Elayne, but

Shondaland seems to be determined to make sure this series dies early.

I think I may be giving up on this series. It's going the way of The Wheel of Time in going SOO off the rails and different than the source material. I want Fran and Michael, Eloise and Phil, Ben and Sophie. Don't change the core characters.

I think the show runner secretly hates the books. The Modiste played by Kathryn Drysdale is the quiet gem of the series.

We need Claire from Outlander to concoct some for the prostitutes and johns. And whoever referenced syphilis, I will now think of Colin as ConPhilis. LOL

These folks have farms and they have to know where baby animals come from. LOL Also, Pen is largely ignored so she hears a lot of things behind the scenes. I thought that was Benedict in the threesome. Oops. Love that Eloise is becoming a version of Emma.

The scene where Serena is wearing the green patterned dress and grabs the LV duffel ag, is that supposed to be their closet?

Read the book eons ago. Can't wait. When reading I imagined a 20-something Catherine Zeta Jones as Serena.

I'm distracted by Amanda wearing a Valentino belt. Does the GBI pay that well? Betty needs her own show. She can be the crime solving doggie. And I don't even like Chihuahuas.

The movie "Infamous" is amazing. We see Harper and Truman in Kansas.

If typical TV does its thing, they will ruin a series. Case in point: The Wheel of Time. I don't get why some of the show runners hate the source material and the people who loved the books first get screwed over. Some are only here because of hoping things would resemble the source material. Rafe Judkins (sp?) basically gave the finger to the book fans.
