Well, I liked it. The pilot was a lot of set-up though and they sent out the first two episodes to critics (episode 2 is also getting an early premiere on Hulu today), so I assume they feel a lot better about episode 2.

Also, what is it with gay boys always siding with their villainous mother?

I liked it as well.  I'm just hoping it doesn't get too preachy about immigration.  I'm here for the soap and I'll stay for the soap.  

Not sure the lead male is ideal for me but we'll see.

I really liked it as well. The last fifteen mins or so were the best as things came together. Lots of "soapy drama" set ups for future eps.. I hope it does well. There's potential. That's more than I could have said after watching some of the other premieres. 

BTW...I might be biased because Scandal is a top 3 show of all-time for me. I love me some Mellie!

Talk about sour grapes. In the latest TV show ratings, ABC’s Promised Land premiered to barely 1.9 million total viewers and a 0.2 demo rating, well below the lowest numbers that The Good Doctor ever did (3.6 mil and a 0.4) in the time slot this fall.

Promised Land has potential. It isn't generic and bland like most of the network tv shows. It definitely belongs on a streaming service. Don't see this lasting on ABC. It's a bit slow. But the show does a nice job setting everything up. The flashbacks worked very well. I like the Falcon Crest vibes with a Spanish flavor to it. Mateo is so cute.

Yeah, I mean, at least Promised Land makes Queens look good, but the producers should start talks about moving this to Hulu asap because it's not going to survive on ABC.

    • Yes! I actually started typing something up the other day but ended up not posting. It pretty much said something to the effect of the show feeling like there were a lot of balls in the air, the stories almost felt aimless. I am sure most of these will come to a head soon enough. I also wondered if it had something to do with the changes behind the scenes, but these lulls between major moments truly kill the momentum. 
    • Will concede it's moving along slowly, but I am still hinged on every word every second. I refuse to miss anything.  OTOH, I watch GH were things are moving along  little quicker, but I have to FF certain scenes because it's extremely repetitive, where I don't get that from BTG. 
    • I am toggling between Apr ‘82 Kay and Nikki, and Aug ‘92 Kay and Nikki… and it is a jarring juxtaposition! Nikki has calcified into a Stepford Wife

    • I've watched the show faithfully since the premiere, but I've found that I've let myself fall behind the past few weeks. It sort of feels like nothing is happening again. Does anyone else feel the same way? I would think for November sweeps they'd be pulling out all the stops.
    • I didn't even watch but saw the recap. I can't believe Billy Flynn has been saddled with all of this. He so deserved better.
    • Vernon was spotted by the worst person possible. Leslie is definitely going to use that to her advantage somehow.
    • Yesss! I cackled when Dr. Walked told Leslie to Google him (check my credentials). What is Elon's issue with Izaiah again? Considering we are supposed to believe that Izaiah was some troubled youth, why wouldn't Elon be gald his son has seemed to mature and has job at a great school. I get that family wounds and patterns can run deep, and somehow Joey was a paternal figure to Izaiah but Izaiah's troubles seem behind him.

    • Yeah. I wasn't feeling it either. If it was meant to be a chem test, it didn't work. I don't think so. Because I think Neil and Liz moved into that house after Stefano "died", and Neil lived there until he went to go see his patients and never came back

    • Canada aired a repeat today Tues. Nov. 18. So after being a day ahead for the past week, they will now be back in sync with U.S.
