  1. I knew something was shady with the ex by the way he played off not knowing Erin. If that isn’t a town driven by inbreeding, I don’t know what is. So, that last line while ick to hear was not surprising. I feel for Erin’s father, but to make that colossal douche bag run and then shoot him in the back dampens my sympathy. If you couldn’t look Dylan in the eyes when you killed him, that means you knew your were wrong. What happens to that kid if the suspected paternity truth is revealed and Erin’s dad goes to jail for kidnapping and murder. Damn near everyone in this town is awful.
  2. Edrisa drains the life out of the show for me. The episodes without her creepy, stalker, obsessive self are so much more enjoyable. Perhaps the Blaze pairing will tone all of that down. I am fine with Malcolm and Dani, but he seriously needs therapy before any pairing isn’t the latest Malcolm disaster waiting to happen. What’s with all the couplings. Thankfully, JT is married, I don’t think the episode could take another love match.
  3. 1. This is not the title that appeared with this episode on my tv. 2. So this was the Macy interacts with a white woman episode. Has she never met one before? 3. The nasty, treacherous, backstabbing, kidnapping, demon chick doesn’t get why she is unlikable? 🤔 Okay.
  4. It is sad how predictably scripted this is. Of course the red team would have someone go. My only questions was would it be Mary L. because of the flirting with Cody scenes. I am glad it was the awful Jordan. The horrid Amber needs to go next. She is completely delusional.
  5. Cody is my personal favorite. He seems like a genuinely nice person and appears to be a sold chef.
  6. That was my immediate thought on the ending, I mean once I got over the DAMN part. There is no way that ending doesn’t play into every transphobes perceptions about transgender people.
  7. The real victim is little Adam. He sensed immediately that Louise was not the mother he knew and love. There is no way Rob doesn’t at least try to get rid of Adam. He knows the little boy is going to be a problem. Louise (the actress was fantastic) was a complete idiot who sort of caused her own fate. Aside from befriending the wife of the man she wanted to screw and then began screwing, her actions throughout were stupid. Also, I for one never bought that she wasn’t scheming on David because of the decision to send Adam away with his father. Her son’s absence certainly helped facilitate the affair. Once she saw the truth about “Adelle” she never told Adam how she managed to know things she couldn’t. David tells her that he has to get away and tell the truth before Adelle found out, and Louise responds by running and telling Adelle. Then, she goes to the house rather than call the police or the fire department. You have her texts, that all the proof you need that something is wrong. Big dummy, who met a big dummy end. Question, before the second reveal ending, I wondered if Adele had killed her parents because they did not approve of David. Knowing the second ending, was the fire that killed her parents, what it seemed to be, an accident.
  8. I think the wrong chef was sent home. Do I think Syanne was going all the way, no. Do I think that of the two who messed up the most, Syann was the only one who did whatRamsey asked, which was to take responsibility for their f up, yes. Has Jordan ever been wrong about anything in her opinion? Has she ever accepted responsibility for her short-comings, no. IMO, Jordan is the red team’s Mark.
  9. Exactly. I pegged Ainsley as being off pretty early on Into my Season 1 watch. It feels to me as if 5he show is trying to find a way not to hold psycho-Murder girl culpable for her actions, and it is not endearing. However, this is the same show that thinks future serial killer i training Edrisa delightful.
  10. This right here is why the more I see of Edrisa, the less I like her. She is consistently inappropriate, unprofessional and borderline deranged. There is no way she would not have been reprimanded at the very least, prevented from leaving the morgue as a mid-level punishment, or outright fired by now. Hell, that BS with Martin should rightly have resulted in her being sent packing. As for Martin’s verbal assault against Malcom, that is 100% how he truly feels deep down inside. The lovey dad thing has always screamed, “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer” to me. I found it interesting that Jesse knew that Ainsley was the killer. A mother knows her child.
  11. One person hit her and the police were going to arrest that person, who turned out to be the killer.
  12. I agree with practically all of the previous comments. I don’t have a problem with incorporating the very real existence of racism and racism within the police department into its stories, I just don’t want JT’s sole pin the show to be the poster boy for racism. As for Dani, while the actress is perfectly fine, let’s not pretend that hiring her is an example of faux Hollywood diversity where they find mixed women who looks almost white at worse and racially ambiguous at best. So for me, as a Black woman hearing Dani now waxing poetic about the trauma of racism in her life, I find myself rolling my eyes. While I have no doubt the character as a black person has seen and experienced racism, her words would carry more weight if the realities of her aesthetic did not serve to blunt the points she is trying to make. Now, if they address the role the benefits of colorism plays in her existence, something I doubt they want, or have the skill to do, my feelings might change. As for now, I’m not buying what the show is selling with Dani and her racial pain.
  13. Very character shown to have a functioning brain, Grace’s father, the attorney (not the ambulance chaser so many seemed to like, who bought Jonathan’s BS hook, line and sinker), the co-worker, and even to a lesser extent, Sylvia, saw Jonathan for who he was. Hell, even the son, who seems off in his own right and in need of professional help ASAP, was clear about his father being a murderer. It is only Grace, who quite frankly, is not especially bright, or aware, did not see this guy coming and going.
  14. The attorney knew Jonathan did it from the moment she met him. She tried to tell dimwit Grace as much.
  15. He doesn’t love his wife. Donald Sutherland’s character was correct. Jonathan played Grace from jump, she’s just to stupid to acknowledge that and cut her losses. I can’t believe that she asked her father to pay that low-life’s bail after it was revealed that he used her father’s money to pay for his mistress’s child to go to the same school as her son (and he lied saying the money was going to help Grace’s son), he bamboozled another half a million from her father, and he cleaned out their bank account. Despite all of this, Grace still has not asked about that money. I don’t know if Grace is the killer, but I do know that it is hard to have sympathy for the perpetually stupid.
  16. I have not read the book, but I feel you.
  17. This assumes that Grace is a reliable narrator, which I do not believe her to be. I think that entire interest in Grace is a red herring on the part of the show. IMO, Grace, guilty or not is using it to convince herself (and by by extension the viewers), she did not suspect what a piece of trash her husband was before the murder, thereby eliminating her from having a motive. I am not even sure that what we are seeing is happening in real time, it might all be revealed to be a flashback. I do believe that once Elena thought she had entered the land of come-upville, she had no intention of giving it up. Believe me, her pregnancy was no accident, the blatantness given her relationship or lack thereof with her husband supports this. Donald Sutherland’s interaction with Grace was off, but I am again left to wonder if what we saw accurately reflected the conversation, or if that is Grace’s hazed perception of what happened? I am also side-eyeing Lilly Race’s character. Heck, I wouldn’t be surprised if the show goes with the kid doing it route (perhaps causing Grace’s state). Her off behavior is open to perceptions of guilt, but it could be rooted in denial over discovering Henry did it and her desperate need to protect her son. Remember, I question the timeline of what we are seeing, I suspect we are seeing memories of previous events.
  18. That is a valid and often used interrogation technique. Throw a rapid fire series of questions that are slight variations on a theme. People get flustered and will often trip up in their response, even if the trip up is not an actual reflection of culpability, their minds are just trying to keep up and sometimes a slip up, possibly Freudian in nature will reveal something that leads officers to the truth. The veracity of the mistake is questionable, but I think that 8n this case, it plays right into the questions I think the show is trying to lead us to ask.
  19. I just figured that this gaping plot point will be a part of Kidman’s reveal as an unreliable narrator. I think she knew who the victim was and what her relationship was with her husband. What I found interesting was that she didn’t revise the paternity issue during the confrontation with her husband. These little moments read as being “off” to me and I wonder if hey are their to make viewers question Grace’s sanity and culpability in the crime.
  20. Thank you. As I was watching, all I could think was, Nicole needs to get a friend who will tell her to cut the plastic surgery. Nicole’s face is actually a distraction. I can’t 8magine what she looks like up close and sans the professional makeup job. That’s who I thought she was looking at, which immediately made me question the paternity of that baby.
  21. You are not the only person. Otis and Maeve hold zero interest and appeal to me. Literally every other coupling on this show holds my attention but them.
  22. This sums it up. On the surface when looking at the two men in Erick’s life, Adam would get checks in all the wrong boxes, yet somehow, when you look at Erick with them, it is so clear that Adam and Erick are strangely better suited. I chalk it up to the chemistry between the actors. In terms of the story though, I still can’t support the Adam relationship because he hasn’t proved that he is worthy of Erick and the love and joy that Erick brings. I loved the girl bonding. More of this please. The sexual assault stuff was awful, but people need to hear it.
  23. I am liked the show much more than I thought I would. Erick is awful and I loved watching his growth. I was happy when his father revealed that contrary to the stereotype of Black fathers, that he loved and supports his gay son. I am still undecided about the Adam relationship, but yeah, it was obvious fro the first episode that Adam’s fixation on Erick and his “tromboner” was rooted in something other than hate. I spent the season wondering which of Erick’s in-school tormentors (Adam or the the kid Erick punched) would wind up getting with him. I mostly like Otis. Still trying to decide if he is using Ola. I like his friendship with Erick and that he found what he is good at and genuinely seems to enjoy helping his fellow students. I loved when he finally stood up to his mother and was glad that the show avoided the trope of him telling his mother that he isn’t surprised his father cheated on her and that she deserves to be alone because she is the worst as he ran fro the house. The things I did not like: Uninteresting triangle with Otis, Maeve and Ola. Why can’t Otis and Maeve be friends, yes friends who had moments where they thought it could be more, but friends nonetheless. Is it because it would mean a male/female friendship without sex coming into the mix and heaven forbid that happen. Maeve using Jackson from the first episode until she decided she no longer had a use for him in the final episode, and he still helped her because he is genuinely a good guy. I don’t dislike her, in fact I actually like her for the most part, but her use of Jackson as an ornament to make herself feel good was disgusting and her sad life does not excuse her disregard for him as a person. She used him as a prop and it doesn’t speak well of her.
  24. Well, as the series winds down, I take comfort in the fact that I never liked Nate, Michaela, who I always thought was the absolute worst (except when she was with Asher) and Connor. I only care about Annalise, Bonnie (I’m glad I was wrong in my initial dislike of her), Frank and Teagan. Everyone else can burn and in hell.
  25. Dear show, if you don’t want to do Harry/Macy, simply do not. Don’t play these BS games with the viewers. My questions centered on Harry’s request are 1) he asked to forget, but is Macy going to remember? 2) Has he done something to Macy absent her consent to make her forget? My better not be the case thought: With the show having a tendency to go soap opera on us, this better not be a set-up for Macy to get back with Julian having forgotten her feelings for and night with Harry to be pregnant, with only Maggie knowing Harry could be the father. Despite my issues, I thought this was a pretty solid episode.
