Members ajsp35801 Posted February 1, 2022 Members Share Posted February 1, 2022 Joe Morton is playing the same character as on scandal. But I was entertained by him anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted February 12, 2022 Members Share Posted February 12, 2022 On Tubi, I caught the first (only?) Season of this series. The writing struck me as being a level above Empire, the last predominantly Black cast series that I watched on Fox. Similar to Empire though, the pacing of stories was a bit unbalanced. That final episode was an example of how awry the pacing had gone. If they get a second series, they're going to need to bring back Nadine Ellis though, because the show needs a strong female co-lead because as much as I love Yaya, she can't shoulder the lead on her own. Debbi Morgan continues to shine in whatever role she's in and that cameo with Darnell, well...hand and glove, is all I'm going to say. After seeing her character get killed off in Insecure, it was great to see the L. Scott Caldwell return in a whole different character. She reminded me of a more malevolent version of Stephanie Forrester. Joe Morton, as much as I would welcome him playing a different kind of character, he does the complex character who has a difficult father-daughter relationship so well. That ripoff of the Solange-Jay Z and Beyonce elevator fracas made me giggle. It wasn't that bad. I saw a lot of those reversals coming, including the one in the season finale but I was reasonably entertained. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kalbir Posted May 14, 2022 Members Share Posted May 14, 2022 With the cancellations of Queens, Promised Land, Dynasty, Our Kind of People, is it safe to say there won't be any attempts at primetime soaps on the broadcast networks for a while? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DemetriKane Posted May 17, 2022 Members Share Posted May 17, 2022 You really believe that was the issue? It’s plenty of crap on television thriving in the ratings. Quality doesn’t translate into ratings in today’s climate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Planet Soap Posted May 22, 2022 Members Share Posted May 22, 2022 Yes I do. From the moment this was trailed it seemed like a gonner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members te. Posted June 6, 2022 Members Share Posted June 6, 2022 Monarch is coming in the fall at least, even if it's a hold-over from 2021-22 season. I could see CBS attempting a prime time soap actually, especially with the success of Yellowstone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
