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.

    • You can't have the entire cast on in one episode.  LOL They were not needed for this. 
    • Yup, I went to my grandparents' anniversary party back in the day.
    • This is what Agnes always meant.

    • They said the teens had gone out for the night. With who? They have no friends to speak of. They should've been there at the party. The excuse was lame.
    • This is how I remember it, too. I remember Evie confronting Rita about her involvement with Tim when she knew she was in love with him. Bawling her eyes out, talking about how she dreamed of marrying and having children with him. It's amazing she and Rita stayed close after that. I don't recall who he left town with. Yes, Holly definitely evolved/grew up after she and Ed split. I remember Lynn Deering as Holly. She was very different from Maureen Garrett. I remember Garrett's first episode. She is a rare example of a recast who caught on with the audience fairly quickly. They were pretty much over--Evie saw them hug goodbye when Hope was about to leave town. She misinterpreted the kiss, fell down and hit her head. That's how she became blind. Robin Mattson was playing Hope at the time. If they didn't want Elvera back in the mid-80s, it could have been interesting if they had brought Robin back to play a Hope with more backbone.
    • "Make them laugh.  Make them cry.  Make them wait."  They nailed the wait part.
    • I really CAN'T with the two dolls comment. It's so cynical. So disgusting. A billionaire telling normal working people this is just... you can't make this sh-t up. That's comics villain level of vile.   
    • This episode was on fire and definitely the best the show's done so far.  And of course the two big reasons were TMG and Ambyr Michelle who were phenomenal.  This could be both their Emmy reels.  Sad thing is they will probably be in the Supporting category so only one of them will win.   Claybon was pretty good when Martin confronted his dad. I'm glad to see he's improving.  I also liked that scene with Andre with Eva, showing some compassion with his cousin.  Now that the secret is out, Eva and Leslie can start to interact with more of the cast, like at the end of today's episode with Leslie showing up at the Dupree's.  And hopefully that will help the show be not as boring - this storyline was the only one that was truly interesting, and now it gets to branch out.  Minor nitpicks: bad editing during the Eva/Leslie/Ted scene by themselves, and when Bill was rubbing Hayley's feet.  They gotta clean this up. 
    • It's the best episode ... in months.
