This is horrible. Just horrible.

I didn't assume anything incorrectly. You came in after some of us expressed our dislike of the lighting with the phrase "I will not b-tch about it". Which left the implication that maybe you are referring to what we are doing... as BITCHING about it. You may have not meant for it to sound that way, but it did. I don't like that word when I've only given my constructive criticism. There have been other people b-tching about the show for months and finding faults where there aren't any. This time, I saw something that I didn't like and I said it. I'll continue to do so. I repeat - I love the trailer, I think we have the making of a great soap... and just because I WANT IT TO SUCCEED, I CARE about things like that. If I didn't care... I wouldn't mind. I hope so and I agree with this 100000 percent.

Well... it's so cringe-inducing, that it probably FELT LIKE MONTHS... but it was only a few weeks. HAHAH

I hope so!

If it doesn't change, which I hope it does... I'll just have to watch with corrected brightness-contrast settings on my TV. It will make everything look so much better. Not that reality-tv-bright stuff. I don't see anyone "Bit-ching" about lighting. Just saying our opinions. There is no chance that all I'm going to to is SCREAM YEY in this topic and close my eyes to stuff that I don't like. I'm not that kind of person. These things need to be expressed and this feedback needs to be given in time.

AMEEEN! Please GOD. That's my only single critique. Too Bright.

POSITIVES. 1. On first look, it seems to have all the storylines and variety that I think we need for the show to be commercially successful. Some of them are clearly there to grab the viewers attentions - slaps, throwing stuff around - just a trick and I love it. 2. The acting so far looks to be on a great level. Especially from the leads. TAMARA Tunie is stealing every shot she is in and she looks SPECTACULAR. 3. From what we've seen of the dialogue - witty, iconic stuff! 4. Wardrobe is sublime. I am very very impressed. NEGATIVES. 1. The overall lighting and the slightly artificial look that it gives it at certain moments. I think this will improve with time. It's better than DAYS-brightness, but slightly worse than Bold in terms of being too bright Maybe I should see it on a different screen, but on my huge monitor that is hooked to the laptop... some scenes looked SOOOOO BRIGHT that my eyes were close to watering. This is just first impressions thing. OVERALL - I AM SCREAMING WITH HAPPINESS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! You are a GOD SENT! Downloading right now!

For some reason it says not available in your country (Germany) and even the browser ad-on vpn doesn't unblock it. I'll have to look around to see if it's online on some other platform. THANK YOU! I was just looking for something like this! I couldn't see it. I'm going to download now!

Thank you! That sounds like just 2 weeks of cringe. Thank God it was not more.

I hate when things like this happen. Especially when it's 2025... and it's shouldn't be happening. And I'm so sad that the internet archive doesn't have it.

Thank you for sharing this!

Aaaah! That period! Thank you for the info! God... I want someone to make a MINI-SERIES about Beverlee McKinsey's last year on AW and her transition to Texas and subsequent quitting. The star! The drama! The top-name billing! EVERYTHING. If Jessica Lange was not in her 70s... I would cast her as Beverlee. 💅 ❤️ You words, my promise. 😊

I'm also interested to know! Good question!

These days... some people (or maybe I should say a person or two) don't even need a reason to start coming and making drama out of nothing. I've seen it in topic after topic. Especially if an opinion about something like that is shared publicly. I only said this in prophylaxis for a potential drama bait-moment. I appreciate your words so much and I'm glad you understood my intent was not bad. I think none of us have anything against this actress. We are all just being HONEST. ❤️ How long did she play Iris exactly? Or should I phrase it - How long were you pulling away for? I couldn't have said it better.
