Most of his points get lost but I agreed with a lot of it too. And of course in the comments a slew of people defend Netflix. I've never been gaga for Netflix like some are.

Yep. I'm not forcing anyone to watch the show either but it's a bit bizarre we can watch the same thing and have two totally opposite opinions, lol. And at the end of the day, it's a sitcom. Of course some things will be a bit hammy. But that's not really this show.

Aw I thought it was a great show. Each their own and all This. She's excellent.

It does ring hollow and it's really suspect. I'm glad so many have been outspoken towards Netflix. I knew they'd get a swift reaction but never expected so much backlash. Sadly, I doubt it gets the show picked up anywhere. Netflix wants to make movies and have high profile stuff. But what they're doing is forgetting what made them special in the first place. It'll eventually backfire. I can guarantee you many will be hesitant to work with them. Maybe not because of this but it does show their true colors. Of course, I've never been a fan of the man running the company (Ted Sarandos? He seems out of touch, personally) It resonates for a lot of reasons. The cast is stellar. The writing is fabulous. The stories are relevant and interesting. It's a fantastic show. As someone not latinx (but I am gay), it still speaks to me in a lot of ways. But I've always been one to enjoy diversity.

I'm so sad. What a great show. I have doubts it gets picked up anywhere but I really hope it does. Netflix can soooo afford to do this show. Lawd. They're terrible.

I know this post was from last year but season 4 is one of my absolute favorite seasons. It was pretty perfect. Although I never liked Andrea being pregnant. I thought it all went downhill later. Oh well. It just seemed like "we have nothing to do with her so oh well, make her pregnant" lol Incredibly sad. I feel for their families (and fans, as I was a fan of both of them). It was a rough week. I felt bad for Ian having to deal with two co-stars close to him passing within days of each other. I always enjoyed seeing Jed Allan on 90210, it was my first exposure to Jed and I just loved him (and I loved him in everything else he did, just great and I think sometimes underrated) With this news last week Sad to say but I agree with Carl. Perry's look was of it's time and wouldn't fly in the world of Beibers and Shawn Mendes and chiseled instagram models. He was different and in a very good way. I will miss him a lot.

Good to know

Lecy really nails it. She's so good, IMO. I'm so happy she's getting a chance to shine. I always liked her and thought she was underrated. It bugged me how they wrote Becky when Sarah Chalke played the role. They attempted something with her at first but sort of bailed (probably because Sarah Chalke was very green, but the potential talent was absolutely there) and she became a walking joke that Darlene overpowered. I missed the old relationship they had. It was just so different and Sarah was ultimately a placeholder. It does feel a tad weird to not have Roseanne there, and never a mention (I have some past episodes to catch up on and just watched the most current episode). I mean, I understand ... but still. And I've noticed, like this last episode, where they could have basically slotted either Darlene or Roseanne into the family bulldog role, such as in the vending machine company owner's office. That could have easily been Roseanne telling him off. I mean, it works with Darlene, so the loss isn't as much, IMO, but I still sometimes feel it and thought about her in that scene, for some reason. I really loved the subplot of Lanford's Premiere Life Coach Jackie Harris helping her niece Becky realize she was basically ... Jackie. I did love the "biker bar, cop bar ..." shout out. It always felt natural that Becky and Darlene would basically become Jackie and Roseanne, respectively. And can I just say I adore Dan and Mark's relationship It really does

PREACH!!!!!

They really did. I remember, sadly, the Scotland story, and yep, awful awful lol. I guess it could have been a reflection of that but like you said, it wasn't the actors faults. So many missed opportunities.

I loved Paul Taylor. I agree he had great chemistry with them. I feel like Hogan's tenure was a lot of misses. Potential at times, but the ball got dropped and some of the casting decisions were head scratching. I blame Goutman for most of it. Just a terrible producer. I wasn't the biggest Bonnie fan but I kind of liked the actress at the time and it just seemed dumb to dump both of them. (And the recast was filler most of the time; zzzz) But Goutman was a moron so ... just makes me angry. ATWT had so much potential over the years and it was just squandered by that man and poor writing. Wouldn't surprise me. Goutman's always felt petty to me.

Thanks. I don't pay as close attention to the UK soaps comings and goings but I do try and keep up. It does seem they swap a lot, at least in the last decade or so I feel like I kept hearing the same names go from soap to soap and it usually doesn't work out. Much like how we recycle the same HWs and Producers and it usually doesn't work out.

Seems the UK soaps are just as bad with shuffling the same producers back and forth on all the soaps, lol. In the times I've watched EE, I never enjoyed the Kat/Alfie relationship ...

I never quite understood at the time why the show dumped Isaac and Bonnie and then later recast Bonnie. I wasn't following BTS stuff very much at the time for all the soaps.

lol yes. I think everyone knows he plays for our team. He doesn't necessarily hide it and he shouldn't. Did anyone mention Kevin Spirtas? Probably ... lol Groff was another one I always knew was gay. It's so sad to feel like you have to hide who you are.

LOL PAS and Peter Porte have great taste ... Not surprised at all by any of the more recent actors who have come out (when I say that I just mean in the public spectrum they're living out and proud; I have no doubt they've been out for a long long time, lol). My signal pinged on them long before they were public. I knew Bennett was playing for my team the minute I saw him in 2001 and PAS always was on my radar. Most of the guys who've come out over the years haven't been at all a surprise to me (hi, Matt Bomer), lol. I guess Brent Weber surprised me a bit but it really doesn't. They're so cute and adorable together LMAO No Yep. And he looks better with hair. LOL. And his boyfriend/husband looks like he could be related to Frank Valentini hmmm ... I'm usually pretty spot on at figuring it out. lol. I just smile and nod anytime I get confirmation Yeah I believe he definitely is. Isn't Susan Flannery too?

I could do without Tori. I feel like this came out of nowhere! Sure you could. And who's to say there wouldn't be new youth? Or we wouldn't see the complex on MP? The characters are what viewers want to see. 90210 in 2008 didn't necessarily benefit from a new youth cast, IMO. It was a mess for five/six seasons. And same for the MP reboot. The sad thing is, both reboots had potential but they were hot messes (and it infuriated me how they had no idea what to do with MP; I'd much prefer to forget that version and I wouldn't mind McCord or Stroup coming onto the new 90210 reboot. I could do without Grimes). I lost interest in nu90210 after the second/third seasons. No thanks. But I did like some of the cast in both. I could do without Tori and Donna. I'd be stunned to see Brian Austin Green and Priestley do it. I'm sure Ziering was pissed he was never included in the old reboot. He'd probably be all over this. Even Luke Perry seemed to have softened on the idea, but he's busy playing daddy on Riverdale. I'd prefer this on a streaming service as well. I don't know if lightning would strike twice should say FOX be interested. Curious to see where all of this goes. Love her. I was always a fan of her on SBTB and was elated to discover her on BH90210 just kicking ass and taking names. She was delightful. Valerie's one of my absolute favorites. But I'd be surprised to see her involved. She seems to be doing her own thing.

I've always loved her. I had no clue she was going through so many things. My heart goes out to her and I too hope she's getting help to cope.

Yeah, I'm not sure about this one either. I also felt "Looking" was a tad overpraised. I guess it did face some criticism, that does ring a bell when you bring it up. I guess my impression overtime is that it's been a bit overpraised but yeah it did get some criticism early on. It wasn't very good, lol. I mean, I appreciate they are doing shows with gay leads, and it matters, but at the same time, none of these shows have been all that appealing to me, personally, for a variety of reasons.

lol yep. I always felt it was kind of overpraised. It got a pass because it featured LGBT characters as leads.

Agreed so much. And I'm so happy it's coming back (I can't see them not working everything out). It was a no-brainer.

Well, that too, lol. Sadly watching US soaps I'm used to hollow, meaningless and damaging.

Late to this but I love it and yes, people *always* tell you who they are ... It's quite interesting seeing him do what he accuses others of. We've been here before ... Ironically, and accidentally, seems to really go with "when people tell you who they are ... listen" ... Love you both @EricMontreal22 and @DramatistDreamer

I haven't watched in a long long time, but isn't the whole Christmas death thing a little overdone at this point? Why does everything have to be so damn dark on the UK soaps? LOL. That's the only thing that often drives me back away. I get so many love it but it can get depressing .... lol
