Yes! As much as I love Natalie Morales, I can’t STAND Beltran.

There's something that's always stuck with me, that I heard Jonathan Decker say (therapist who is part of the Cinema Therapy and Mended Light YouTube channels). He said that there is one thing that every single person who has ever take their own life has in common - they held on for as long as they possibly could. Maybe not as long as people on the outside looking in thought they should be able to. But absolutely as long as they were able to. 💔

Gwen is the one I am really worried about. She, Gabe, and Garrison were “the triplets” growing up. That’s a huge part of her core identity that has been destabilized. Also, I know from personal experience that we neurodivergent people don’t always express our grief in a way that makes sense to people, so we sometimes don’t get the kind of support we need. 💔

The Nick drama was less tedious than I expected it to be. I am seriously not ready for next week. 😢

I've been waiting for Royal Pains to start again somewhere since it disappeared from Peacock. Thanks for the heads up!

Just wanted to pop in and say that They have recently started posting on their YouTube channel again.

Catching up on the show now, and I’m watching this episode currently. During the conversation with the first victim’s dad, he was saying…I always knew she was dead. The cops insisted all this time that she was only missing, but I knew she was dead. Dude! Her body was in HER HOUSE! It has been there the entire two years she was “missing.” What kind of crack investigative team do they have heading up missing persons investigations in her neck of the woods? A simple wellness check call could have taken care of that. Also, did the dad have some phobia of planes? He was SO concerned that not once in two years did he think…hey, lemme go have a little look see myself. Lastly, if she had enough cash in her bank account for her bills to keep getting paid for two years, apparently occasional freelance travel writing pays better than you would think. Maybe she has the same agent as Carrie Bradshaw! 😁

Yeah, I’m just not going to have time to dive into them until this weekend! 😁

I saw the first two episodes of season two in the theater last night. No spoilers, but suffice it to say they were INTENSE! And I am REALLY excited for the rest of the season!!

I could not stop laughing any time a character said “Chauncey Telluride” with a straight face. 🤣

Ugh, Nichelle’s dad! For someone who clearly considers himself classy, he doesn’t have enough class to be courteous to his host as an invited guest in someone’s home. Also? Nichelle and Hondo are adults. Not your business, sir! Team Hondo.

I bet Fields Market (a real grocery store) was excited to be namechecked in the script and have it plainly said that they buy illegal produce. They’re like…we agreed to rent out the location for the day, not have our entire supply chain practice maligned! 🤣

I’m in the middle of season 2 right now. I watched season 1 when it first came out. I have a couple of thoughts. Nadia. How does your own medicine taste? It doesn’t feel good when someone is tells you explicitly what they want, you trust them and act accordingly, and then they dump you. Does it???? The guy opening his own restaurant and his girlfriend who had to be “convinced” to sing at the dinner table. One of the cringiest things to ever happen at a restaurant table in a show chock FULL of cringey restaurant conversations. Was the self-satisfied “oh my God I’m so amazing and yet also so humble” facial expression part of the performance of the song? Or does she really just think she’s that good? Also, them talking about how they have “fun, good” arguments about who is more fashion forward made me pretty grateful I live on the other side of the world from them. The chances that I will ever end up in some kind of situation where I am trapped with them (ie, dentist waiting room, etc) while they have one of their “adorable” debates about which one of them is more amazing are slim. 🤣 In all seriousness, though. I’m glad they found each other. They seem happy, and everyone deserves happiness. So, good for them. Lastly, Viral being like… “hey, this is a two part question and it might seem mean, but A) why are you so ugly, and B) why are you trying to pretend you’re not? I should have taken you on one of my patented furniture store dates so I could show you a mirror. Sidenote, girls don’t make passes at boys who wear glasses.” was…honestly just horrible. In a show full of Aparna, I never would have guessed the meanest thing ever said would come out of someone else’s mouth. Also, the more I see Aparna, the more I realize that she’s not actually mean, just incredibly blunt and thinks a helluva lot of herself. Which often comes off as mean, but isn’t really. What Viral said was actually mean.

Absolutely!

I think you’re likely thinking of Mercedes Reuhl. But maybe Jane Kaszmarek? Also, on the topic of Ori…I have never actively rooted for someone to die desperately alone and regretting their life choices, and…I guess I still don’t, but I certainly wouldn’t shed a tear if that happened to Ori. 🤣 I mean, damn. The sole woman in his friend group, who seemed lovely and down to earth, had a desperate and sad look in her eye in her final talking head as if SHE were rethinking all of her own life choices just to figure out how she’d been friends with him as long as she had and never realized what a gigantic douchenozzle he was until their friendship had been memorialized on camera. And I don’t blame her. 😁

Just now watching this show!!! i will say…a lot may have been filmed in Australia, but most of the exteriors were in and around Burbank. 😊

I probably wouldn't have even noticed James Marsden, but would have IMMEDIATELY been like...holy shit, you're Mekki Leeper!!!! Haha. I'm a weirdo!

Oh. SO MUCH worse! In fact, the way they softened both Angie and Amanda in the show is one of the best changes they made. In fact, while I do like the books (the mysteries are good and I like WIll as a hero), the way that both Angie and Amanda constantly berate and mercilessly mock Will for his dyslexia is one of the things that it's REALLY tough to get past.

That was when it hit her that the reason the magician was forming friendships and spending time with the old people was likely to steal their credit card numbers and go on spending sprees. She was trying to find out if the old man had really bought the stuff, but - as she had suspected - he hadn't.

Oh, dang! The most recent episode was a doozy for character development. Kelly’s dad finally gives her a little recognition, and then she finds out he’s the porch pirate. Man! What a body blow!

I hope so! I love this show!

Awwww…when Kelly said she was so proud of herself, I got all choked up!

Just now catching up. My big takeaway is that this is the first time I’ve ever noticed that Grace is in Judd’s phone as “My Heart” ♥️♥️♥️♥️ Aaaawwww!!!!!!

Yes! I am just now catching up on this show, and during this part, I actually said out loud, “The fuck is happening right now????”

Agreed on all of this. And when 911 ends, I admit I would be up for a spin-off of The Bobby and Athena Private Detective Agency. 😆
