Members EricMontreal22 Posted February 26, 2014 Members Share Posted February 26, 2014 I think you did. Not saying you'd love the show, but when people react to the show usually and don't like it they call it out on being completely boring, not titillating or cheap But I guess you caught the sex scene. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EricMontreal22 Posted February 26, 2014 Members Share Posted February 26, 2014 Great news. I wonder if it's 8 episodes again--I wouldn't mind a bump to 10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted February 26, 2014 Members Share Posted February 26, 2014 Glad to see this. There seemed to be a lot of haters who wanted the show to fail. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted February 26, 2014 Members Share Posted February 26, 2014 Shows like this polarize people, so I wouldn't take that too seriously. The fact it's one of the only scripted "gay" dramas on right now, and that it's done in a style that people seem to love or hate, it makes sense that it's split people so much. But I agree with you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members difficultdiva Posted February 26, 2014 Members Share Posted February 26, 2014 Hey, they helped with the continued growth in the ratings each and every week since the pilot. I'm just so glad that Lauren, Raul and Russell have been bumped up to regulars for next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ThePrinceOfSunspear Posted February 26, 2014 Members Share Posted February 26, 2014 The description of "gay comedy " is hilarious to me for some reason. But I am glad it was renewed. It's not my favorite snow ever but I do relate to some parts and I'm curious to see how these characters and their relationships change over the next season. I either need 15 episodes that are 30 mins long or 10 hour long ones tho... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EricMontreal22 Posted February 27, 2014 Members Share Posted February 27, 2014 Trade journals tend to classify anything that's 30mins as a comedy. Odd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted February 27, 2014 Members Share Posted February 27, 2014 That's what I thought about the show so far.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted February 27, 2014 Members Share Posted February 27, 2014 Soaps what parts did you see that seemed to be going for shock, out of curiousity? I mean compared to something like QAF where each character fit a gay "type" and they did party drugs (I'm not counting weed) every episode... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Aback Posted March 1, 2014 Members Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) I'm sorry but I think the show is awful. The only reason I watch it is because I'm absolutely in love with Russell Tovey and I have a fondness for Murray Bartlett from GL. I don't know how they managed to make the characters so unlikeable. Every single one of them. And don't get me started on that Patrick fellow. He's just obnoxious and not in a love-to-hate way. There's just nothing likeable about him, he's just a self-centred brat, and I might have a fit if they repeat one more time he's had just *one* boyfriend. The plots are just unbelievably lame, I mean the writers' spokeperson must be great at pitching things because this show literally has no direction. The main storyline is about a young loser adding another boyfriend to his resume (what was the deal with that scene where he kept saying 'I haven't got a gay voice... my voice is NORMAL!!!'. is that really acceptable in 2014 USA?), then you have two supporting stories about a guy obsessed with Portuguese chicken and another one getting tired of his girlish boyfriend. I'm sorry, I know there are so many fans here but I just needed to vent. And if Patrick ends up with Kevin (which is definitely going to happen), I'm gonna SCREAM! lol Edited March 2, 2014 by Aback 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ThePrinceOfSunspear Posted March 1, 2014 Members Share Posted March 1, 2014 LOL.....that honestly is a very valid point and one I've been wrestling with as well. I've been utterly bored to tears with Dom and his obsession with that chicken and his restaurant. Patrick is someone I'd either tolerate or absolutely hate in real life depending on the day of the week. I think cuz the show is probably relatively cheap to make compared to something massive like GoT is the reason why it was given the green light.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted March 1, 2014 Members Share Posted March 1, 2014 Ha I love when people feel the need to apologize for disliking a show. I don't think I'd like a show if it was one that nobody disliked (if that makes any sense...) But at least you watch which helps the show I never thought Frank was girlish, but I don't think Auggie's story is about him trying to get rid of him. Granted, part of the style of the show is that it doesn't have strong stories--and this goes back to people finding it boring. You either find that interesting, or not. I find all the characters to *some* level relatable enough that I can't say any are unlikeable, but then again, as I've said before here, I often tend to like shows (books, movies, plays...) where others complain that the characters are not likeable. I don't watch tv because the characters are people I'd want to have over for a dinner party. The show was given the greenlight, I suspect, largely due to the praise given Weekend (a film some hate for the same reasons.) And yeah, it's cheap, and it appeals to a desirable demographic. I do laugh whenever Dom brings up Piri Piri Chicken, but I think that's partly meant to happen. It's not like anyone involved thinks this is a all-important issue, but it shows what a rut the character is in and how desperate he is to try to get out of it. (Maybe it helps that I have a friend who was similarly obsessed with the food truck he opened in Montreal which, much to my other friends' amazement has actually been a success. He discussed his specialized sushi *endlessly*) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
