BTG really delivered this Christmas. The show has shown consistent improvement over the past few months. While I know some people might wish for a quicker pace, I personally enjoy a slow build-up and appreciate the long-term arcs that many characters seem to be going for. They are finally moving away from the weekly headline storytelling, which I truly appreciate, as it had my head spinning at one point. That said, if things take a turn for the worse, I won't hesitate to voice my criticism again, but for now, I'm pleased with how we're wrapping up the year. It's not without its flaws, of course. They have certainly experimented with what works and what doesn't, but I believe they've found their footing.
The three areas that still require a lot of improvement are: 1. Dialogue; 2. Antagonists; 3. Characters that need revamping or recasting (we all know who they are... cough... Ashley... cough... Tomas...). Perhaps I should include a fourth point - anything related to the mob. That needs to be removed before it causes any more damage.
Aside from that, the show has created its own unique atmosphere (I don't think it's similar to Bold like some people say), features plenty of likable characters, and has enough stakes on several fronts to engage viewers. The only campiness has been the charming, villain-from-hell type, and they've managed to avoid most of the typical soap opera absurdities. I wish the team of the soap Merry Christmas and I'm looking forward to a whole new year of adventures.
