Am I missing something?  No opinions on season 6?

Didn't know it was even airing.  My interest waned dramatically in Season 5 and I never even finished it.

[wenhiku]

I've watched about four episodes (maybe more) and I just cannot get interested in these storylines.  Lots of opinions - none positive.  May not finish.

A few episodes in as well, and way too much time is being spent on Mel, her father, and her father and mother's backstory. I can barely stomach Mel at the best of times, and have zero interest in her parents, either past, or present as in the case of her dad. 

Some things drag on forever, but other things conclude at lightning speed, like Preacher's trail. That has always been the case with the show, I don't know why I was hoping this season would be an improvement. However I will stick it out, and ff past many scenes/people that I have no interest in, as per usual.

It's been kind of a slog for me as well. I don't know why they are dragging out whatever this beef is between Doc and Mel's father. Just spill, already. You'd think one or the other would have told her by now, or that she would have pressed them both about what happened between them to make them hate each other so much. 

And, OMG, Brie blowing a good thing she's got going with Mike for that hothead loser Brady? Really?

Is it me or is Charmaine looking kind of rough? Methinks the actress has had some work done.

I watched the whole season. I guess it's always been a soap opera, but that really stood out for me this time. And yet, I enjoyed it. Yes, I had complaints, like how fast Preacher's trial story was resolved -- I kept expecting something else popping up to complicate things -- and the mysterious conflict betw Everette and Doc. But overall I thought it was fine for what it was.

I didn't like the cliff-hanger ending. I didn't get what Brady was doing. He was torn betw Brie and Lark for some reason. It was just weird. So Lark got back at him. 

Mel and Jack riding off on the horse was expected. 

All in all, it was by the numbers. But it was an ok way of spending 10 episodes.

I read the book series and have been pretty happy with it so far. Hasn't Charmaine been pregnant for 10 years? The timeline is all jacked up , not just for that. There is something weird about Mel’s hair color. It looks very odd.

I found myself looking at my phone or fast forwarding through endless sappy conversations. They could have done some editing and probably cut down to 7 or 8 episodes. I'm sorry, but I cannot stand Hope's character. Who would put up with such a childish person as mayor? Or even as a friend!

[iMonrey]

I binged the rest of it yesterday.

I always saw the writing on the wall for Charmaine. She's single, she's having kids, Mel can't have kids, it's all Mel ever wanted. Boom. I thought sure she'd die in childbirth and then Mel and Jack would get the kids. Then it turned out they weren't really Jack's. Bot now? I'm pretty sure Calvin murdered her and that Mel and Jack are going to end up raising the twins. And maybe a third kid if that pregnant girls ends up giving them hers?

Brady's an idiot for taking Lark back. He deserves to get robbed. I knew something was going to happen with that phone when he handed it over to Hazel. Idiot.

Mike knows, and still wants to marry Brie? Take him, Brie. Brady's an idiot.

Don't really give a damn about Preacher and Kaia. TBH I lost interest in Preacher after Paige left. Kaia just came out of nowhere and the show has done nothing to make me care about her.

Don't really care about Lizzie or Downer Denny either. Enough with the Huntington's already. How old is this kid, 17? 18? Most people don't start getting symptoms until they're around 40 or 50. 

Did we ever hear about Hope's ex-husband before? Or Mel's other sisters? Seems like these characters were just invented this season. And they ended up being pointless.

I'm torn whether Charmaine is dead or not. Re the pregnant young woman, that's really weird that the adoptive parents are backing out. Where did that come from? I think the pregnant woman is the one backing out for some reason.

Yeah, that whole thing was a stupid mess. Why would he stay with her? And yes, the minute we see him entering his passcode, and Lark seeing this, it was clear she'd get into his phone. I did think it was just so she could check out any texts betw him and Brie. However, how could she get into his bank app? That was certainly password-protected.

I don't remember anything about Hope's ex. Mel's other sisters? Weren't those Jack's other sisters?

I am not a fan of Mel's (or maybe I just dislike the actress playing her, not sure which) but I have never been able to stand the character of Hope. I have never read the books, was she this much of a bitch in the novels?

What I find completely ridiculous is that now we are introduced to her ex, who was apparently so controlling that Hope was meek and mild around him. Not likely. Women who are controlled and get up the courage to leave a man may become more assertive, but if they were a nice person before hand they will not lose that characteristic. Hope has been a bitch on wheels from day one, I don't for a minute believe the back story that she left and never told her hubby why, because she was never allowed a voice in the marriage. Is this how the storyline goes in the novels as well? 

Still three episodes to go for me, but as ever I am only watching for the scenery, and because of Tim Matheson.

She really serves no purpose anymore. It makes zero sense that she's welcomed into Mel's friend group after all the crap she pulled on her and Jack. And in what universe would you volunteer to babysit your boyfriend's ex-girlfriend's twins? That she pretended were your ex-boyfriends? Forgiveness is one thing. Being a sucker is entirely something else. The only reason I can think of for being so nice and keeping her in their lives is so she can leave them her kids when she dies.

He probably uses the same password for all his logins. Because he's an idiot. (He could probably reverse the transfer since she just made it. If I transfer money into or out of my account online the transaction is pending for like 12 hours or something. But Brady probably doesn't know that. Because he's an idiot.)

I haven't read the books but from what I understand, Hope is a lesser character in the books and doesn't really have much of a story to speak of.

They kept threatening an appearance by Paige, and that never happened, which I think was a big mistake dramatically. Why go to all the trouble of having a trial if they don't follow through properly? This whole story was a giant snore.

And the "feud" between Doc and Everett was also a giant snore. Doctors have to make choices all the time. Would Doc have preferred two lives were lost? Good grief.

I don't think we saw one of them until the wedding, but the one who was at the bachelorette party has been a part of the show since the first season, I think. She isn't new.
