I agree! Maybe kind of "I'll talk to my sister that way but, you can't!"

I wonder if they'll post the first episode on YouTube for free, just to get the word out. A few shows do, Drag Race and Real Housewives for example. Not the best comparison but, you get my drift.

I'm sure they do. But nothing wrong with a simple clip or type in to a webpage vs signing up for a subscription which may or may not need a credit card number.

OMG! If I don’t have a good opinion of the trailer, is because I’m on drugs?

You know. I smoke cigarettes sometimes, but I have never taken drugs.

The only thing I wanted to express (sorry but English is not my natural language) is that this trailer seems like a trailer for the second, third or fourth season of a series, not a new series where we don’t know anything about it.

When you do a trailer of a new series, you have to present the plot and the characters better than this trailer does. This trailer only shows some moments like slaps, romance, revenge, and some soap opera lines and maybe good memes, but does not present a proper narrative and a great plot to engage new viewers.

I mean, after watching this trailer, we don’t know what this series is about and for me this is a big mistake.

Take a look of the trailers of any first season of any TV series or miniseries and maybe you realize what I’m talking about.

Yes, I’m OK. Don’t shame me for not liking this trailer.

I hope this series is very good and it has a lot of success. But they are doing a bad job presenting a new series.

The trailer is just some random soap opera scenes which I would understand if it was the second season or something like that. But if you are doing a new series you have to present a better narrative.

Just my opinion. I’m OK and I’m not on drugs.

I cannot read the comments of the Youtube trailer because is blocked for me since I don’t live in USA.

All the comments I have read is from soap opera sites and I agree they are mostly positive. But I would like also to read what people from non soap opera sites think about this trailer.

Thank you for saying that. 

I respect your opinion, but I don’t think like you.

Years ago, there were no streaming services so I thought it was just right to appeal soap opera fans. But right now, in this new world, you can have a big success only by streaming. See Netflix and all the others streaming services.

For example, in my country there was a small series called Elite that was a big success internationally thanks to Netflix.

In my country there are a lot of success series/telenovelas from Latin America and Turkey thanks to streaming services.

The game has changed. So I think it’s a good idea to make a great series because you can have a lot of audience besides the only soap opera lovers.

When I mentioned the comments, I mean on non-soap pages. On TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, Youtube and Facebook the majority of comments are from people who don't watch soaps but grew up with them or people who wanted to start a soap from the beginning. There are also tons of Black people who seem interested. 

Also in regards to what you say about presenting a narrative, I feel like they did that in the initial promos. They established that it's about the Dupree family, a wealthy family in a posh suburb dealing with the type of scandals you typically have on a soap. The trailer expanded upon that by revealing Dani's husband has left her for another woman, the patriarch of the family is being blackmailed and another member of the family was almost murdered. 

I'm not sure what more you would've wanted if I'm being honest. These promos are short and there is only so much they can cover. I don't see how you could watch those promos and not have a good feel for what the show will be like.

The new trailer gives me all I need to know and I am LIVING for it! I'll give the show 6 months to see if it can hook me. Soaps need a while. Tamara Tunie alone will keep me watching that long.

Am hoping to snag tix to the NYC premiere at Paley Fest when they go on sale to the general public tomorrow!

Bring on Beyond The Gates! 

PS Someone posted an interview above ( a few pages back) that made it sound as if the show has been given a 4 season pick up from CBS. If so, I applaud them. We all know it takes years for a soap to find its following. Giving the production/writing team 4 years to breathe and try and make it work would be awesome!

      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.

      I like KKL's hair straight, but I also like the waves. I have no issues with her hair... AN and JMW on the other hand... have had some rough moments hair wise the past few months.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By Maxim · Posted

      I think I can help with pointing to a period where to start watching. The show is available in youtube in multiple playlists that I'm sure someone already sent to you, so I won't do that. You can easily find them also by typing Edge of night and the year you are searching on the youtube search engine. Mid 1979 till the end (1984) are pretty much 90 percent there thanks to some amazing uploaders. I would suggest for a new viewer a starting episode of 6077 - it's the episode that begins the Mansion of the damned storyline. Before that... it's the end of a prior storyline and I found it very confusing and hard to watch, because you are getting the climax of something that was happening long time before you start. You can start watching from 6077 - the episode where Nola gets the offer to do the movie script... and just go from there. Once you watch this episode... you won't be able to stop.  Quite frankly if someone had told me to start with this episode... I would have spared myself the struggle of the other 30-40 episodes before that. If you need help with links or playlists... I can also help, and you can message me anytime.

      I haven't had 1 free second the past few days, so I'm gonna have to catch up tomorrow. Judging by the amount of people posting here... I'm getting the feeling it's going to be GOOD.
