  1. I want to care, but just don’t. I know they’re trying to recreate the original magic with the new batch of interns, but the cast is too big, I can’t remember anyone’s name. The early days worked because the interns were central and everyone else was secondary. Now we have interns PLUS original cast and they have too many stories that get a few minutes each ep so we never get invested enough.
  2. I am just not connecting with any of these designs. A raised bed = a broken ankle when you get up in the middle of the night to pee. Ugh. The horrible wet room? The weird teeny tiny laundry closet with a combo washer/dryer? And an outdoor shower makes no sense on a third floor, I live on the beach, generally outdoor showers are to rinse off before going inside. A cold plunge tub? Yikes. And maybe it’s because they are getting the furniture from Wayfair but it all just looks so cheap to me.
  3. Was it just me or did everyone look haggard? I’m in until the end but the series is just a shadow of its former self and I struggle paying attention. The medical stories were meh, and like everyone else it was driving me crazy they didn’t flatten the car tires.

    I get that this wasn’t a crime procedural. We were never going to find out what happened to Gus and this was a character study in grief. I like quiet shows like Tiny Beautiful Things, which was done well. This was not. Problem was with a very slow script, NK and Brian Tee had zero chemistry and a bunch of unlikable people behaving oddly. NK just wasn’t a fit here, and yes I know it shouldn’t have affected me but her face just looked so odd and like she had trouble moving her mouth and it just distracted the hell out of me. There was no one to root for, I think Clarke might have been the only good guy but we didn’t spend enough time with him to care. Hilary was awful, David was a creep and Mercy was just oddly depressed for reasons I still am not clear , millennial angst?
  5. You have no idea how badly I needed a laugh today. Coffee came out of my nose. Lol
  6. I’m hanging on until the end but it’s getting hard. It’s just misery everywhere we look. NK’s face continues to distract. I know this is a study in grief but I just don’t like any of the characters so feeling for their grief isn’t happening. It’s dark, both in theme, and how it’s shot, it’s just not working.
  7. I liked this ep. It moved at a good pace, the impending dread of knowing what was coming (it was obvious) was good. What made no sense was NK meets this girl for 10 minutes on the boat, then has one meal with her and let’s her walk off in a crowded market watching her young child (a child known for not behaving very well), no background checks or references just “here you go take my kid”. Sorry but the only person to blame here is her (not that I’m victim shaming but you know what I mean). NK’s character doesn’t seem to like being Gus’ mom as he appears difficult and she seems moderately depressed. Maybe some of her grief now is her knowing she shouldn’t have so quickly trusted this young girl.
  8. Very Big Little Lies vibe. It was enough that I’ll keep watching. Hoping ep 2 we get a little more. NK looks very odd to me, don’t know if it’s intentional, the scene at the end when they’re in the car and she doesn’t know if the ambulance is there for her family, her face just looked so odd that I was distracted and her “thank god” when she realized it was someone other than her family really rubbed me wrong, which I think was the intention. I can’t tell if the character is supposed to be unlikable or if we’re supposed to feel sorry for her. As someone who has had extreme tragedy I don’t get when people in these shows just act like aliens the whole time because something bad happened to them.
  9. Watched all three eps back to back. Unbelievable! I liked how they changed the narrative with each ep to make you start to draw your own conclusions and then you had to change course the more they revealed. Can’t believe what this poor woman endured, I’m glad she was vindicated. As usual I can’t believe these cops got off scot free, “burn the bitch” should have at least been enough for some disciplinary action.
  10. I did not like the first floor at all. The furnishings, the odd rooms, does anyone want to walk into your house and see a Foozball table? Huh? And why didn’t they show us the kitchen? Jasmines designs are usually weird but this one might be the worst?
  11. As someone that has had to clean up a hoard after someone died I think this mindset is so selfish. Why would you want people you love to have to do this?
  12. When you sign up for a televised reality show wedding you’re gonna get feedback. If I was going to be on national tv being watched by millions you better bet I would want to look well styled. There is no excuse for the getup they stuck Teresa in. If this was her hearts desire to wear this dress and the hair and the veil, someone should have had the decency to nicely talk her into something more flattering. They had a good canvas with her, she’s petite, thin and we’ve seen her look way better than this. What the heck happened?
  13. Jeff asked Reggie and his wife this question. They said it was the kids choice and they feel a safety being together and the other rooms were very far away from Mom and dad. I figured the kids weren’t comfortable in that humongous house being really far apart. I could see it. I’m sure as they get older they will want their own spaces.

    Why am I not enjoying this. I hated watching Dot gaslight her husband, I really dislike Dot acting like if she just denies anything is happening that it will somehow resolve itself? I keep watching thinking things will click in for me but I’m mostly just bored.
  15. I feel like they could have sold his story as is. Lonely widower that has tried his hand at dating since the death of his Beloved, but after not being able to find his new “one” he looks to Bachelor Nation for help. Gerry wants to find someone “in it for the right reasons”. Instead they painted him as some shy golly shucks naive man fumbling his way around. And once we caught on to the true loathario he appears to be, we hate him. He used that same line “it’s how I felt at the time” bit with Faith. His true colors have been on full display for a while.
