OWN: All Rise: Discussion Thread


London

I was disappointed with the first ten episodes of Season three.  The focus was Judge Lola Carmichael's love life.   That could have been a side plot but they emphasized it too much.

Sean Blackmore (who played Shawn Butler on GH) is the stud attorney who tries to tempt Lola to be unfaithful to her husband.  His character got a lot of focus and the actor is "fine" looking and was all sexy and suave. It has been great to see Mr. Blakemore shine outside of GH!  Even though he was seemingly written as a guest star, he was on camera enough - -and had "a magnetic presence" enough to be one of the leads.

But that's not why I watch "All Rise".  I don't watch it for soapy stuff!   I watch soaps and legal shows for different reasons!

Now they are on hiatus, but they will resume Season 3 later this year sometime with episode 11.

Season Three of All Rise resumes with the final 10 episodes on OWN. This was filmed long ago, way before the strikes, so they can air it.
The two halves of Season Three were filmed as one season, but are airing one year apart.
Season 3a (episodes 1-10) aired June 7 - Aug 9, 2022.
Season 3b (episodes 11-20) begins airing Sept. 16, 2023.

Deadline says that this is the end, and the show is not renewed for Season Four.

Fyi, season 1, season 2, and season 3a are all available now on Hulu, if you want to get caught up.
Season 3b will stream on OWN.

It's a great show with lots of characters who are people of color, and great legal issues discussed.
Season 3a deteriorated into a bad soap but I hope the coming season 3b gets back to the legal focus.

    • Since my mind is drawing a blank, have we hit the episodes that were filmed after the show officially premiered and started to get feedback, or we should be hitting those next month? 
    • I think playing Greg Sumner gave his career a huge boost, but it also hindered him a bit because he became too known for that role.  Although he and Judith Light had good comic chemistry on Phenom, and he had a short lived cop show in the late 90s that he was decent in as well. I think the fact he kept working for twenty + years after Knots Landing ended is almost a miracle considering acting work can be hit or miss. 
    • Now that I have ad-free Prime Video again, I may start going back into Knots Landing and giving it a third time... got to be a charm, right?
    • The final season of THE HANDMAID'S TALE
    • And characters just disappearing with NO explanation and no further mention. Even after they were involved in a seemingly significant storyline. And I'm talking about Chief Elon Hawthorne and Detective Marcel Malone. Where are they?
    • Probably Kmc as Robin on GH?  Not trying to deny Christie any love because she's amazing and beautiful and fantastic.
    • Yeah, not showing us Chelsea coming out to her grandparents was bad.  Hopefully things will get better in terms of structure and story telling.  We have to remember the show isn't even 6 months old yet.  There's still a lot to figure out.  They've made some changes to the writing staff, so maybe that will help?  I hope they figure out the editing issues and music issues as well.  We'll see. 
    • I'm not sure he really got the roles he deserved after Knots either. He was excellent as Greg, and made you care about him even through some very tacky times. I still think back sometimes to his work when Mary Frances died or when Laura died. 
    • this has been clear from the very beginning. and, boring as they are, it’s not just derek and ashley. fitting in so many characters and storylines means they are skipping over the emotional beats — chelsea’s coming out was far too fast, and why did they not show her telling her grandparents — so there’s A LOT of exposition.  given how long val jean and guza have written for soaps, this speeded up narrative and enormous cast have the suits’ fingerprints all over it.  whether it ultimately drives down ratings remains to be seen.
