Members te. Posted October 13, 2021 Members Share Posted October 13, 2021 I had an issue with the tempo of the pilot but I think episodes 2-4 have been better paced as such (though I still wish they would stretch out things a bit more). My biggest issue is that the writing just isn't very good - when they try to make some sort of political commentary it always come across as rather forced. I don't remember feeling this way with Empire or Star, even when they were quite badly plotted. If anything their attempts to do social/political commentary comes off as the recent "vax" episode of DAYS - just weird and shoe-horned in. There's something that quite won't gel with this show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted October 20, 2021 Members Share Posted October 20, 2021 5 episodes in and still not connecting with the characters/storylines. New episodes return November 9. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members te. Posted October 20, 2021 Members Share Posted October 20, 2021 Yeah, I just don't think the writing for this show is very good if we're being quite frank. I'm surprised because I thought Empire and Star were solid, even if they could get messy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Liberty City Posted November 6, 2021 Members Share Posted November 6, 2021 Yeah. I tried giving it a second chance, and I am not completely feeling it. I'd be surprised if it gets picked up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted November 8, 2021 Members Share Posted November 8, 2021 I watched the 1st 3 episodes last night. Pacing is too fast, too many plot twists crammed into each episode with little to no time to show the results. And rule #1, viewers need to care about the characters in order to make the twists work. I'm not saying slow the pace down like in the 80s, but allow viewers time to know the characters before throwing plot twists at us. Lastly, is there a soap writer on staff? If not, the show needs to employ one stat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted November 11, 2021 Members Share Posted November 11, 2021 ‘The Big Leap’ & ‘Our Kind Of People’ To Wrap Short Runs On Fox – Deadline Not a good sign for a second season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members te. Posted November 11, 2021 Members Share Posted November 11, 2021 I think they were always going to be rather short runs, at least Our Kind of People since Monarch was always coming. I guess if OKoP had somehow been a huge hit they might've shuttled off Joe Millionaire and put Monarch on Thursdays though. Big Leap is dead as a doornail, but I'd say a season 2 is a toss-up at this point for OKoP. Really depends on how Cleaning Lady and Monarch performs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ajsp35801 Posted January 31, 2022 Members Share Posted January 31, 2022 I thoroughly enjoyed this show. But I adore watching rich Black folks be messy on my TV in any form. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slick jones Posted February 1, 2022 Members Share Posted February 1, 2022 I enjoyed it, too. I wish Joe Morton would stop over-enunciating his lines like he did on Scandal. but I was enjoying the characters. I wouldn't mind a renewal.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
