The trailer was good for soap fans like me, but bad for people who are not soap opera lovers.

It didn’t have a narrative or a plot to engage new viewers. It just offered some soap moments like slaps, romance, etc.

It looked more of a trailer of an on-going series than a new series.

I think I can love this show, but right now the publicity has been bad IMO.

Honestly, these are fair comments.  The "Are you on drugs?" or "Are you okay?" comments were unjustified.  It's okay if people aren't 100% positive all the time.  There's nothing wrong with valid criticism.

The show's composer is Kurt Farquhar. His output is very diverse. I'm not familiar with any of the dramas he has worked on but I included a couple of his pieces below. I was hoping for more of a timeless Pino Donaggio-esque symphonic soundtrack, but I like the orchestral aspects the 96 Minutes score.

Interview with Jibre Hordges (Jacob)

He mentions the vet actors have been helpful with the pace and technicalities of doing a soap and admits there was a struggle at first but the cast has found a groove. Also says the show does a great job mixing drama with strong representation of black affluence 

Yeah I think trying to look at the show from a non regular soap viewing lens is making people project more negativity than they should.

@Alan I know a lot of the shows Kurt has worked on, he’s a legend tbh. My only wince would be on some of the dramatic stuff it felt like the soundtrack never stopped long enough to allow certain scenes to breathe (Saints & Sinners had this problem the worst). Hopefully we get more quiet moments on BTG with the score only added when its truly needed.
