  1. I think that Charles’s issue with Liza’s lie is that she is, in fact, a whole different person. She hid the fact that she was married for many years, raised a daughter, went through bankruptcy. For me, finding out that someone lied to that extent would be a huge problem. Perhaps not in a business setting, but certainly in a personal setting. Liza took care of his daughters, and pretended to be surprisingly good with kids, while in fact she had a lot of experience, having raised her teenage daughter. all in all, I can really get where Charles is coming from. Still rooting for them to get together though...
  2. what bothered me the most was that Navid walked around with a busted face having been SEVERELY BEATEN, and no one bothers to take him to the doctor or call the police, because they all have so many more pressing issues, like breaking up or flogging themselves silly... the visuals of Ramon dirty and wearing a face mask, like the people in his “vision “ at the games expo was interesting.
  3. That's exactly how I feel about this show. it's as if the show - like its' characters - lacks the self awareness to see that there are so many people who are less fortunate, with more pressing problems, like no access to safe housing or healthcare.... I'm still bitter about Henry's disappearance - they made me invested in a relationship that simply evaporated! AND he was the only one without a well-off financial background and support system. Also - I just have to ask , who is more "underprivileged" here, homeless Henry, or Ashley with her big house, pretty, doting, slightly-dull husband, and $ 5 Million purchase offer... However, with all its flaws, I still come back to watch this show every week... so somehow I'm invested in this show, faults and all .
  4. I thought maybe Hailey smelled smoke because of the burnet mini quiches. But I agree-it was deliberately misleading. Poor Ramon - hurting his 4yo niece is one of the worst things that could happen to him... Also, if Malcolm called the police, Ramon could be in serious trouble.
  5. The Farsi thing bugged me too. Farid should have been translating it to Layla, not the other way around. actually, this episode was much more cohesive and interesting than the previous two. um...if I understood this correctly, Ramon threw Hailey out of the tree house, while there was no actual fire? If so - ouch!!! I did not see this coming at all, and I can’t even process how awful this is going to be for the entire family....
  6. That was so underwhelming. The only saving grace were the last 5 minuets with “under the Milky Way”. Also, the new guy Ramon picked up couldn’t put on some pants when he knew they were not alone? Ew...
  7. Like some previous posters - I too don’t like the series very much anymore… Most of the characters (except Ramon and Kristen , perhaps ) became really unlikeable. Greg is the embodiment of the deer in the wood – he just wanders around aimlessly, with a confused look. Also – have you seen Duc's huge expensive home? And Audrey and Greg's home? Duc and Ashley seem to have had good (expensive) education and can now both afford a nice home. Ramon, who is still a student, has parents to pay his rent (and presumably his tuition and health insurance), and can go back home to cuddle with his mom and have his dad bring him comfort food when his relationship with Henry implodes (yeah, I'm still bitter about that…). Don't get me wrong - I think it's great that he has a home to come back to - I did too when I was his age, and my parents pampered me as well. It's just that none of the Bayer-whatevers seem even remotely appreciative of what they have – when many, many people have so much less! And it seems that in their liberal, educated world, the worst crime to commit is to be an employed homeless person. None of them try to make any sort of difference . Not one of the adopted adult children raise any question regarding their family of origin or wonders how their families of origin live now, in Liberia or Vietnam or wherever… I bet Duc's mother would have LOVED to have had Duc's problems.. Also- not one of the well-off family members had any empathy (ha!) towards Henry , the employed homeless person…
  8. No Henry and Ramon..well,that’s disappointing!! I can’t believe they Made the me care about them,built it up, and then decided to just forget about it...it’s like the heart of the show is no longer there. Kristen and Navid continue to be interesting. I can’t decide whether Audrey is relatable or too annoying. She is so fierce, and she obviously loves her kids, but she is sooo overbearing and convinced her every word is gospel..
  9. I really enjoy this show (even though all the critics seem to hate it...). I loved Ramon and Henry together, and hope we haven't seen the last of them together ! I really didn't get a "user" vibe from Henry. More of a "hero complex", if anything... He really seemed very interested in Ramon, and obviously very attracted to him. Maybe a little pushy, but I read than as "pursuing his interest aggressively", rather than "desperately needs to use his indoor plumbing". Even though Henry wasn't upfront about being homeless, and it IS a lie by omission, I can understand why he would hide this. Seriously - how many people from an affluent family would willingly enter a relationship with a homeless person? Also, this might be a really insensitive comment, and I apologize in advance, but how many people would willingly and knowingly enter a relationship with a possibly mentally ill guy, albeit a very pretty one... Henry didn't bat an eyelash when Ramon had his first episode of whatever-it-was (and I'm invested in finding out what it is...) practically on their first date. I love Farid's storyline - he is so much more sympathetic then Greg. And Kirsten is growing on me, teenage self-absorption and all. Especially when Navid is also present. They have a really engaging chemistry.
  10. On a positive note, Lynn wasn't terrible. She actually used her head, and managed not to get caught, which is more than can be said for Peter and Golan
  11. Ah...the incompetent trio rides again. That episode actually made no sense at all! Also....pssst...if you shoot Red or just nick her a little, they wouldn't be able to use her in whatever rites they are planning, as she won't be unblemished any more.
  12. This show is definitely a guilty pleasure, but It's fun, so I'm sticking with it! Peter is just conveniently rescued by this guy he doesn't know, and as a veteran FBI agent he doesn't ask any questions... He's just happy to make a new friend. Some agent he is. I like Emma a lot, and I didn pick up anything to make me think she's a double agent. Also, it's the first time I find Lynn even slightly interesting. She's a smart woman! What was she doing with Peter??? He's obviously a wreck, he doesn't seem even remotely invested in her, and his wife knows about them.
