I DVR'd it and just watched today, and I'm going to keep watching. I'm interested in the brothers' back story most of all. This time period is something I find particularly interesting, so I'm curious how it's all going to play out.

I watched faithfully up until about 2 weeks ago. I just cannot get into the Tampa crew. I think I might like it better if they spent less time on the cops, and more with fire/paramedics. Some of the paramedics have grown on me a bit, but none of them really stand out like the folks in NO. There's is something about those two that I find off-putting, and I'm not completely sure what it is that makes me feel that way. There's something about the way they ride around with Bethany slumped all down in the seat and what's-his-face always driving that reminds me of two teenagers out cruising around trying to look cool. I didn't watch this past week, and I'm not sure I'll tune back in anytime soon. For the most part, it seems people are just not feeling the Tampa episodes, and I'm not either.

I saw on this Netflix a couple of days ago, and watched the entire series the same day. I really liked it, and can't wait for the second series. I hope it doesn't take a year to come out. I found all of the characters interesting, and went back and forth between feeling sorry for each of the three in the love triangle, and then not liking some of their actions. I appreciate the writers making the characters so multi-dimensional as there was usually something to like and dislike about all of them. I wonder if Sarah is going to turn bad like Vic did since she seems to have 'died' after having the baby, but come immediately back (doctor saying they thought they had lost her). I'm sure the pharma co. has something to do with all this, but I can't imagine why leaving the town would cause them to die again.

I am still way behind. I'm only in mid-May, but have a few comments. I can't believe Josh was going to go ahead with marrying Evie even though he knows he's going to be arrested (hopefully soon). And the exit storyline with Kyle was just stupid. He's going to take the blame and go to prison for some girl he just met? Nobody is that noble, and certainly not Kyle. I see some other characters seem to be leaving soon, and I'm ready for some new ones to be honest.

I have been waiting around for Hulu to get the episodes starting after the break, only to discover yesterday (when I finally got around to looking) that they aren't going to get anymore new episodes. Soooo...I've had to find myself an alternate source and I am now way behind. I've only watched the first two eps after break so far, but will hopefully get caught up within a couple of weeks. I will say, I do not care who killed Charlotte - I am not going to read any Feb. postings on here until I do get caught up, so you all might already know who killed her. I am for one am just glad she's gone.

Was this covered in the episode? I missed the very end. More weirdness.. apparently some bones were left where Bordeaux was buried after her body was initially recovered... http://www.fayobserver.com/news/crime_courts/additional-bones-recovered-at-kelli-bordeaux-site/article_82ba713b-da37-53e9-973f-19befe945328.html Here's the highlights of it for those who can't access the link...

I watched this one last night with interest - I live about 20 miles or so from where all this occurred. There were actually a few things that were surprising to me from the program (things I didn't know) such as the fact Kelli and her husband were actually separated when this happened. The way I remember it being reported in the paper was that he was just visiting family in Florida and I don't remember anything being mentioned about a boyfriend. Did anyone else think the family really disliked the husband and were a little disappointed he had an alibi? It was also the first time I heard very much about the private investigator guy. Good that he found her obviously, but I'm also one of the people wondering if he would have spent so much time on the case if she hadn't been so pretty? Also, something the mom said kind of got me. I can't remember the exact wording but it was something like when her daughter disappeared she wanted the investigators to realize this wasn't just "some girl" this girl was special, and I'm just thinking that nobody who disappears or becomes the victim of a crime is just "some girl," they are all someone special. I'm sure that's not the way she meant it, but it goes with the fact that if a victim is young and attractive, their case gets a lot of attention while many other people have been victims and need someone to focus on their case as well. As to Holbert working at that bar (which is closed now by the way). I'm sure he was working under-the-table. I don't know what it's like on the inside, but it looks dumpy on the outside. It's in an area right before you get into Fayetteville where they are building I-295 to cut across town (but it isn't finished and it starts/ends right there from the country and a heavily wooded area). It basically looks like a little rundown dive with a dirt and gravel parking lot.

I just watched the episode were Denny gets taken out by Charlotte. I wish they had just let her go off on her trip and not killed her. And now I see that Hunter really did inherit the crazy from mommy dearest. I have to say, Kat didn't really seem all that into Nate until Ricky started coming around. She liked him sure, but I never got the impression she was all that serious or that they were really doing anything other than enjoying one another's company. Maybe I missed something? Having her be so upset seems out of the blue a bit to me.

I didn't know all that about Kyle. That is a terrible history. Phoebe is not thinking that she didn't want a child until she actually got pregnant and not even then at first, so maybe she should give Ash a break and give him time to get his head around the whole thing. I guess if you get involved with the Braxton crew, you're able to let things go that would cause most people to run a mile. I just wonder what caused Hunter to be like he is. I know he didn't grow up with his dad, but he seems to have had a loving family and a lot of children come from a one parent household, so how come he's so screwed up? Charlotte should let him take his punishments for the stuff he does.

Can someone explain to me why Phoebe would say it would be better for the baby if Kyle was the father rather than Ash? She said something about Kyle being good with babies, but from what I've seen, Kyle is a stubborn moron who makes consistently bad choices - just recently the gambling and refusing to go to the hospital incidents. I can't imagine what he must have got up to before I started watching. I'm not hating Charlotte as much as I did when she first arrived on the scene (the whole Matt fling thing), but that Hunter is a real piece of work. Still, I don't blame Zach for wanting to get to know a son he didn't get to watch growing up - just hope he doesn't end up getting too hurt by Hunter's manipulations.

The actor must be really tall, because he seemed like he has loomed over most of the other actors in everything I've seen him in. IMDB says he's 6'4" which is the same height as my husband, but he looks bigger to me, so maybe he's broad-shouldered as well. So it looks like they are going with Josh getting on drugs or something to help study. Nothing has happened here so far, other than some guy giving him a phone number in case he needs some "help" keeping awake, etc. I'm sure drugs will help his already stellar personality <sarcasm>.

I'm surprised at how much I like Phoebe and Ash as a couple. I hope the writers don't start them on the break-up/get-back-together merry-go-round now. I'm guessing someone planted the incriminating fire evidence on Billie?

That Sean and his wife are really something else - what a twisted relationship they seem to have. I get that she's angry about him sleeping with Hannah, but she seems willing to forgive him and lay all the blame at Hannah's feet. She seems pretty angry at him right now, but I wonder if that's more about him defending Hannah and trying to keep her from telling Andy rather than about his cheating. Apparently he's a serial cheater, but Hannah seemed surprised to even find out he was married let alone cheating repeatedly, so either he is different from how he used to be or he really had her fooled.

I did not realize Evie and Oscar were twins. I would have never guessed they were meant to be the same age - he does look older than she does.

Just finished the episode where Ricki had a freakout and a good cry after going through Brax's things from prison. Hopefully that will relieve some of her anger, etc. That Evie sure is smug and self-righteous. She insisted Hannah had to tell Andy about her and Sean - guess what, Evie, this like so many other things, is none of your business! The teenagers overall are kind of boring to me, but she is really irritating. And I see from a couple posts above, she was a cheater herself. She just seems so immature a lot of the time - there's something about her that makes her seem like she's much younger than the other characters her age. There are very few characters that have really strong feelings about, but she's really becoming one I don't like. Haven't met Charlotte yet.
