The Pretender

Angela Kang thank you for everything you did for this show 🙌 You took it back to being great! I'm still super upset over Rosita dying. That character really grew on me & I so wanted her to live & the possiblity to see her on some spinoff in the future, even if just for an episode or two. Darryl & Carol. FTW. I'm super sad we won't see Carol on the spinoff with him but I totally get and respect Melissa's decision. And I'm so relieved they didn't kill Carol off. Seeing Carol in that scene a year later with her hair chopped off I totally saw Melissa telling Norman she loved him too. Two great actors and two great characters! I wanted Negan to die. Sorry not sorry. Love the actor but the character should've died. He could've gone down a hero I don't care but he killed Glenn & Abraham goddammit. I'll give every spinoff a chance but the one with him (and I'm saying that now but I will probably still tune in at some point or read reviews and base my watch or not to watch decision on them) I need to rewatch this episode when I'm done grieveing cause I totally missed Chandler Riggs cameo. I'm still so sad over Rosita dying 😭

I'm shook. Did not see this one coming at all. I hope S2 will improve, I will give it a try for the talent they do have onboard & I did like the gritty feeling of the show but they need to improve the storytelling a lot.

I loved every episode of this. Felt very much like a mix of Fargo and No country for old men. Great acting, the plot was interesting and the way the story unfolded was top notch. Unpredictable and smart. Got nothing but good to say about it. If they go for a season two I hope they will go the Fargo route with a complete new cast and story.

This swedish reviewer on this tv/movie site I am a member off totally ripped this show to pieces. It was no mercy & they spoiled everything just so viewers wouldn't have to sit through the misery 😐 He linked to other international reviews, & the few I read wasn't merciful either. Too bad, apparently the book was good.

I agree Toni Collette did not impress me that much by the end of this. Something just felt off the entire series. I guess the twist at the very end (if you'd like to call it a twist? Jane being the culprit) sort of explained her on/off, or coldness, throughout the show. But it didn't explain that much. And are we to believe Andy just forgave her mom at the end there on the beach? I'm not sure I would ever feel safe around her. That she copied Nick (with the hand injury/slashing throat) almost to a T felt a bit ridiculous. Like what's the odds of that happening twice in ones lifetime. And I'm going to pretend I did not see Aaron Jeffrey in this, he will forever be Alex Ryan to me. That character is less traumatic to dislike. On one happy note - yay Mike lived. But keep driving man, stop answering the phone, don't ever look back pls. Looking forward to seeing Toni in The Staircase. She can be so bloody great when she gets the right material. Here's hoping.

I think I blinked out for this episode. Laura left Andy behind at the coffee shop, I guess that's all I really need going forward so...

At first I thought the flashback from Laura´s chemo and all came a little bit too late in the show. But by the end I got why they put it in here and not earlier. Not my favorite kind of storytelling but it can't always be my cup of tea so... That kid playing Andy as a kid has great acting chops for such a young age. Bravo.

This was the episode where I saw the family resemblance. She got it from her momma. Not the smartest bunch of people uh.

Dang Vargas was one of few people I liked on this show. Schucks.

It's like the show is trying to convince me not to like it... I dunno. I find myself intrigued, then not so intrigued, quite bored actually, and then it gives me a little something to pull me slightly in but no the show is not all that great tbh. It's like it's trying too hard. I dunno, I'm not making sense. It's only 8 episodes so I'm sticking with it I guess. Hoping it will be worth it.

I agree with all above. Andy's lack of... survival skills(?), people skills(?), taking directions(?)... was really annoying. In the first episode I get her not taking action in the restaurant scene, she wasn't equipped for a situation like that. she handled the home invasion/hostage situation with her mom quite well (I'll give her a pass at least) but man did she go really downhill from there. I'm about to start ep 6 today, if it wasn't for Toni Colette I would not have gotten past ep 2.

Toni Colette was the one that drew me to this show. First episode was really good. The restaurant scene was really chilling. I loathe incels like that.

There's so many different versions on how this will play out now I really don't know who or what to believe. I usually go mostly by what the showrunner says and Sheridan has said there's no plans for a season 2. Unfortunately imo. I read somewhere else that this new show, 1932, will start with one episode back in the 18?? something and then jump ahead to 1932. Doesn't sound so bad to me as we will at least know how the Duttons settled and if indead James got shot in 1893 and died from that wound. If that one episode also includes a tidbit about how life is going for Josef, Thomas & Noemi I will be even more satisified (well if they are indead living large as I imagine them to).

Well I really like these news. 14 episodes (7+7) in season 2. But why is Sheridan himself saying there won't be a season 2 then? And with that many shows in the air that's a big workload even for a brilliant mind like Sheridan. And on another note hearing that monotonous voice over in that clip made me appreciate Elsa/Isabel May's soothing voice even more 😅

And now they're giving me mixed signals I don't know what to believe No season 2? If this is true then I'm really miffed about them not giving us a 'one year later' update on the Duttons...
