Sweet-tea

There is something about Mo that makes me want to watch him. This isn't the case with his wife. The younger daughters aren't interesting to me, but I do like Farrah. If I'm not looking at my TV and just listening to the show, sometimes I think it's Kyle talking. I don't know if it's Farrah or Alexia who sounds more like her. The houses do look like glass boxes for the most part, and they're all styled the same way. I've noticed the same thing on Million Dollar Listing LA.

Seriously! Robyn sounds like a fool. "He's really focused on deleting his texts" or whatever she said. Is she an idiot? Uh... Robyn. Have you heard of getting rid of the evidence? Sure, I'd have no problem with my husband paying for a hotel room for a random woman out of the kindness of his heart. Unbelievable that she's calling Chris a cheater when she is living with a serial womanizer who rubs her nose in it.

Agree and many people disagree with them and are flocking to Florida and Texas. I don't understand what is going on with Candiace and Chris. What was the deal with the woman that posted the message and then deleted it? Robyn was calling Chris out on it. Did he cheat or are Gizelle and Robyn just determined to destroy Candiace's marriage? Why do they hate her so much? Speaking of cheating, either Gizelle and her lover boy have an open relationship or he has cheated on her or moved on. And he's not exactly hiding it. Perhaps this is why Gizelle is coming for Candiace and Chris. She is projecting. Watching this I was beginning to understand why Candiace decided not to come back. She seems over all of them.

It is weird because I recognized Sam Neill right away. I don’t know why as I’m not really a fan or anything but I have seen him in a lot. This was so-so to me. What bothered me were all the red herrings. I don’t like shows that go to such lengths to keep people guessing that they float out obvious scenarios, like Joy and Stan had a tumultuous relationship, he was filled with rage and then killed her, and then say “Voila! Fooled you!” It gets tedious to me and has the reverse effect. It takes me out of the show because I’m thinking, “They’re making it look like he did it, so he must not have done it.” I’ve seen this tactic used repeatedly. IMO it is weak writing. Also weak writing: they get in a high speed car crash. Savannah acts like Joy is unconscious when she flees, but a little later we see Joy with nary a scratch. One scene I liked was Joy in the bar singing Joy to the World. Made me chuckle. I also didn’t really care about any of the characters, especially Stan and Joy. I didn’t believe their reconciliation at the end. I see these two divorcing in six months. And this is a nitpick but I wish they would cast actors who actually look like they could be siblings and that resemble the parents at least a little, because these didn’t. I’ve seen it done in some shows but it is rare. I think I’ve read a few Liane Moriarty books but the titles are escaping me. I don’t want to read Big Little Lies or Apples as I already know the ending. Can anyone recommend other ones that are good? I’d like to read them before the next series!

Yeah even when he and Katie were together it was a running theme that they didn't have sex very often. Unusual for people who are younger. I wasn't sure if it was about them as a couple or Tom's love sex drive, but then there would be these incidents of him having drunken makeouts with other women.

I’m only on episode 3 and I’m surprised how much Mauricio is talking about the Hiltons. I thought the subject was off limits as it causes strain between Kyle and Kathy. I saw Paris’ post. I wonder if the rest of them are ticked off. I don’t think Sophia adds much value to the agency or this show, at least not what I’ve seen so far. Maybe she’ll grow on me. I still sense underlying sadness in Farrah. I like her. If the guy is this slow to get moving on wedding plans she’s better off without him.

Yes I watched from Season 1 on. I also watched Selling the OC.

Agree. She was awful. I wouldn't want to be around someone so filled with rage. It isn't healthy for the person or the ones around her. I don't know where this show has to go. I'm finding it hard to root for any of the people. Actually, I'm finding it hard to tolerate any of them.

Agree that the main characters seem to be much younger than the actors. And Laura Dern either has had a facelift or there was a thick filter on the camera, because her face looked a lot different than the last time I saw her on TV. I don't think they have captured the tone of this show. It is playing more as comedy than drama IMO, but it's not very funny. I wanted to watch for the cast and the 1960s setting, but I don't know if I'll last long. I'll give it a few more episodes.

I thought Joey had more physical chemistry with Kelsey but figured he would pick Daisy. I was pleasantly surprised he chose Kelsey. I never really warmed to Daisy.

I read an article a few years ago about someone who was there. She said this was the case. It's all fake. I like that Daisy walked herself out and didn't start sobbing and acting devastated when Joey confirmed he wasn't picking her. Refreshing change. Rainsong, I'm kind of glad to hear RS was wrong. The guy can be arrogant!

I didn't notice this but now I want to go back and check. Ha!

I don't understand why they talk like they are empty nesters when Portia is still in high school. I wonder if Portia feels ignored?

I think that is Christine, right? I've watched all the seasons and am waiting for the next one. Yes, I need to get a life.

I wouldn't mind them all returning except Larsa. I can take or leave Marysol though so she'd be my next pick to go. I'm surprised to say I have no HW shows to watch now, which is rare. There is usually at least one running. Maybe a break will be good for me though. It's like a cleanse for my mind.

I watched the first episode of S1. I like that there is a faith-based show on Amazon (or any streaming platform for that matter) and appreciated seeing characters who believe in God and pray regularly. I remember Roma Downey from Touched by an Angel. Having said that, I found the show heavy-handed and the acting a little stilted, especially the actor who plays Kari. I'm hoping it gets better and the show finds its footing. I will keep watching. I find it so refreshing not to have to cringe at the f-word being thrown out all the time and other coarse language. I'm just tired of it. I didn't recognize Ted McGinley at first. The really dark hair threw me off. I remember him from way back.

Agree. I don't like her. I was never really a fan but this season she totally lost me. I thought her behavior to Sutton has horrible, and she came off like a manipulative narcissist playing the victim card.

I noticed in the intro to the article it says Answered Prayers was published after Capote's death. I thought the book was never found. He didn't complete it. Ah, never mind. Saw something saying an unfinished version was published in 1986.

Did anyone else notice the roses were switched for daisies? Didn't watch the last part of the show and was surprised to read here that Daisy turned down being the Bachelorette. Not a fan of Jen and won't be watching her season. ‘Bachelor’ Fans Notice Something Unusual About Daisy Kent’s ‘After the Final Rose’ Set (msn.com)

Agree. I was surprised she was brought back this season. I won't miss her.

I saw this today and made a mental note to watch the next episode. Interesting that they added one.

I was shocked by this. I didn't realize they had an arrangement in which Gordon is ok with her having an affair with a guy for their whole marriage. And the son might be his and not Gordon's. Wow. Agree it is tacky and inconsiderate of the children for them to discuss this on TV. Mia is low class. She needs to go back to the strip club, except she's too old now. I was chuckling at all the Sesame Street names for Deborah... Grover, Cookie Monster, etc. Candiace can be snarky in a funny way. I can't look at Deborah without thinking of Sesame Street.

Thanks for the tip! I also thought he was great in Mad Men. I’ve been meaning to check out Fargo, at least the season he is in.

In reading the book this show was based on, I’m struck by how Chloe Sevigny was miscast in this role. This is how the book describes CZ: What set CZ apart from her fellow debs was not her height but her beauty. Her looks were such that she won the title North Shore’s Prettiest. Beauty had been C.Z.’s magic wand all her life. All she had to do was to wave it and she got what she wanted. As a little girl, adults looked at her and praised her in a way they did not children who had more common looks. As a debutante, her dance cards were always full. I like Chloe as an actress but she doesn’t match this description. What is interesting is that normally in TV or movies, the actors are better looking than the real life people. But I’m not seeing that here with a few of the characters (CZ and Babe, but especially CZ). I also don’t buy CZ as a blueblood. Something is lacking in Chloe’s portrayal. Here is CZ and Chloe Sevigny.

He seemed like Harvey Weinstein light to me. Entitled and drunk off his own power.
