Members DRW50 Posted December 31, 2013 Members Share Posted December 31, 2013 Was Rob Bogue in that first (horribly awkward) sex scene? Was that a rug on his head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jams1234 Posted December 31, 2013 Members Share Posted December 31, 2013 I must say that was a big let down and I didn't even get to part 3 I'm also reminded how absolutely horrible an actress Alicia Minshew is. Jeez, really!?!?! This woman is terrible and she's the lead ...oh my & she's narrating it too!?!?!?. Oh no, Tainted Dreams.... Girl you in danger! While it was nice seeing so many AMC faces.....my goodness it was a hot mess in so many ways. Terri Ivens and Michael Lowry. LOL Never thought I'd see "Simone's" boob exposed with "Jake" grinding up on her/it. Oh good gosh please NO!! Let's not put that out there. Isn't he busy regaling BB and it's fans by being the greatest "classically trained" actor that's ever acted. And is CH going to be able to crawl out his ass to actually be on this show???

Members ChitHappens Posted January 1, 2014 Members Share Posted January 1, 2014 I saw this at 2 this morning and it was sh!t. Was it filmed in a shoebox? The only saving grace to this middle school production was Kelly Hensley! Alicia Menshew and Natalia Livingston? Dreadful!!!!! Why would anyone finance this upon hearing these 2 names?!

Members DramatistDreamer Posted January 2, 2014 Members Share Posted January 2, 2014 I'm guessing connections play a key role, far more than talent. It will be interesting to see whether there are any reviews of the first episode(s). There was a lot of buzz before the actual episode was unveiled.

Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted January 2, 2014 Members Share Posted January 2, 2014 I think NL being cast in general was convenience since she lives in NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members robbwolff Posted January 2, 2014 Members Share Posted January 2, 2014 I was very much looking forward to this series but after watching these three episodes, I have to say that I'm disappointed. As others have pointed out, the sound is lacking and the lighting is just atrocious. The guy who brings the phone to Minshew's character is obviously supposed to be comic relief but the actor is so over the top that I was cringing. And the whole scene when Minshew started sorting through her mail from home? It was so awkward and forced. Is she really that busy that she doesn't have time to sort through 4-5 pieces of mail at home? It was clearly meant to advance the plot and get in a joke from her assistant. Very lazy writing.

Members John Posted January 2, 2014 Author Members Share Posted January 2, 2014 So Sonia Blangiardo who was AMC's supervising Prod for PP is the EP here. In fact the crew for TD is the same that PP used for AMC & OLTL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted January 2, 2014 Members Share Posted January 2, 2014 What happened??? AMC and OLTL were great but this.... I don't know what this is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Angela Posted January 2, 2014 Members Share Posted January 2, 2014 I don't like it. I don't hate it either. I'll continue to watch to see if it improves. KMH definitely was the stand out in these episodes. As for the rest of it? Unfortunately, it just seems like a poorly written and produced soap. I started looking forward to Beacon Hill over Tainted Dreams a long time ago. The promos alone for BH look tons better than TD in general. Hopefully TD will show improvement as episodes continue to roll out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted January 2, 2014 Author Members Share Posted January 2, 2014 Well The Beacon Hill folks (Open Book Productions) produce VENICE and that visually is an awesome looking soap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted January 2, 2014 Author Members Share Posted January 2, 2014 Look at this new promo for Beacon Hill. The shots in the pics look amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted January 2, 2014 Author Members Share Posted January 2, 2014 If TD runs a few years hopefully they can improve their look. Both EMPIRE & DeVanity have gotten better with the production design and shooting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 2, 2014 Members Share Posted January 2, 2014 I'm expecting CC to start shouting "NELS! NELS!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Angela Posted January 2, 2014 Members Share Posted January 2, 2014 I'm not going to expect a miracle for Season 1 but hopefully they listen to critiques and do Season 2 more carefully. I didn't hate episode 1, but it definitely felt ... forced. I love the idea of "daytime" dramas moving online, for now. Looks ready for television. I'm on the edge of my seat for this one, hopefully it doesn't disappoint. I'm missing the joke. Do tell. I haven't watched many (or maybe any!) online soap operas and I haven't been crazy about CC since after she ended her run on DOOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
