Making my way through March 1991 for the first time. Other than the show being addictive popcorn you can't help but munch on, there's lots of great stuff. The climax to the Jake story was well done and exciting; Stephanie's amnesia and homelessness one of those legendary stories I finally get to see unfold fully and loving every minute of it; a TON of very fun stuff at the Spectra end of the show. Neverending hilariousness. And Ridge and Taylor steaming up the screen. And we have just had our first OFFICIAL scene of Taylor and Brooke as enemies. Their chemistry also off the charts. It's not hard to see why the show kept milking it over and over and over again. PS. Poor Carrie Mitchum. Donna finally gets a semblance of a storyline and she's out sick, so it gets played by a temp. Hopefully she'll be back before the storyline's over!

Roku app and others are now available, which certainly makes it easier!

I'm in! lmao The only hope for BAYWATCH is people tuning in for sexy bodies and some action and, if the drama is interesting enough, staying.

There is no denying it - it LOOKS amazing so far: Costumes, sets, the little book details they're making sure we know are being included.... And, yes, the cast too. I'm NOT ready to let go of the previous cast yet but there's no denying, they ARE going for quality.

I totally agree. I think they should just lean into the soapy elements/characters, do some great action stunts, and show off a lot of candy. It's a delicate balance but I don't see why it couldn't be done. He's a great choice for a stunt-heavy, shirtless role. At least he's got that going for him lmao

Absolutely. To second: If you are a purist and patient (despite good moments), sit through 1987 and 1988. Otherwise, Sally's arrival galvanizes the show and it reels you in more and more. We can download? Super! ANY amount of income is better than zero! lol If the expectation is to fund primetime, they'll be disappointed lmao

Thanks, I hoped we could at least do that!

Very true, although I suppose one can only hope. I'd think of all those, Y&R and DAYS would be most likely to do this, but again... Is the app available to download on Roku?

Wonderful! Now, do Y&R too lol

There is definitely a way to do it that could be reminiscent or 911 or the CHICAGO series while also having a lot of relationship drama and tons of eye candy. But it's not exactly an easy balance to strike. I wonder if they'll go for a lighter tone or just dead-serious. Oh, interesting! I didn't know that. So sounds like they think they've got something strong.

LOL! Exactly. If this gets picked up, at least it'll be interesting to see how much of a disaster it is lmao

Look, I'm not gonna defend this lol But if you're gonna do this, you absolutely center it around Hobie (which they seem to be doing) and, let's face it, the original show was not a masterpiece. I just wish they'd pleasantly surprise us with the cast. I mean, the girl from PRETTY LITTLE LIARS? Noah Beck? The only way to make this work is with a charming cast (beyond looks).

Do it do it do it do it! I'm on season 3.😁 (And make sure you watch the credits until the end, there's always a funny disclaimer relating to the episode!)

THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE Season 2 - 10 years after watching season 1, I saw it pop up on Netflix (random) and I became curious what happened next lmao (super random)

😁 Go for it! I've been doing that with stuff like XENA and find it a sweet, nostalgic experience.

I'm behind, but Ryan Hawley did some really beautiful, subtle work as Victoria and he argued over selling their share of the farm and she then left for Portugal. And, of course, Joshua Richards is so good as Bear deals with his guilt it's hard to believe he's even acting.

STAR TREK DEEP SPACE NINE (Season 1 - first time. Love the characters!)

PEAKY BLINDERS (Season 2)

I had such fondness for FASHION HOUSE and was so excited to see them try telenovelas. I watched the first few weeks as it aired or so but I was a freshman in college and soon gave up, especially with the constant flashbacks and what was kind of a false promise of Bo Derek vs Morgan Fairchild and then Fairchild didn't even properly show up until halfway through the novela lol That being said, I've seen about half of it now (there was an entire episode of like 6 minutes of new material and the rest was flashbacks!!) but I do want to complete it. WICKED, WICKED GAMES looked very interesting as well but I never tried it. Too bad they couldn't have done it a little better. Not having streaming at the time also messed their chances up.

I think you should! You could easily watch 2 of the episodes and get caught up with everything lol It's basically 3 plot points the entire season stretched out over 22 episodes. I can't imagine rewatching it!!

THE BOYS Season 3

Totally get it! I mean - it's a weird combination of big soapy plots (evil twin coming for revenge!!!) and NOTHING happening at the same time.....

I'm also trying to make my way through ONE TREE HILL Season 8 and am struggling. What the hell was it with that comic book superheroes episode? It's like a half-hour sitcom in an hour-long soap opera format (but not funny). I just...
