Good to know! Excited about episode #2! Everything seems pretty positive so far!

I'm actually off today and it's just airing on the CBS affiliate here in San Diego. How odd it's already up on Paramount+

He doesn't look it.

Just came back from running errands while "Best of My Love" was blasting on my radio.

And no, Errol, I didn't run through any stop signs.

I love the level of establishing that is going on in this episode.

 

I also am loving how spacious the sets look. It's been a minute. s

 

ETA: Oh @Soapsuds @AbcNbc247 I see your man. Glasses look good on him.

This exchange between Vernon and Martin, where they kept referencing "Restless" in the dialogue had me chuckling, even if not intended:

I dont like the casting of any of the white characters whom all do nothing for me right now. They could have done better than this short dork they have Martin married to

[Taoboi]

Hahaha. I so didn't catch that. Delicious. Just as good as the B&B shoutout.

Hello!!

[Contessa Donatella]

Wait, are you talking about Mike Manning? Husband to the grandson Congress-person? They adopted 2 kids who are now 16, 17, etc.? IMO he is a good solid actor. I hated him as Charlie on DAYS but we were supposed to feel that way. He raped Allie & almost got away scott free while his brother was blamed. 

[Joseph]

This Is AMAZEBALLS!

[Cheap21]

Yeah he looks like a dork on this show to me

[Contessa Donatella]

I think he's quite good looking but then we know: not my type. 

[Joseph]

You're right, unless they adopted them as older Kids, who wouldn't so easily adopted by others

[BoldRestless]

They are hinting that he feels subservient to his husband... in his establishing shot, he's carrying a laundry basket. It's a twist on the 60s and 70s soap wives who bemoaned the drudgery of homemaking and wanted careers.

[Contessa Donatella]

One thing I really like is they're not afraid of sex & of physicality. Early in Episode 2 the black couple draped in sheets was so well done. It's been so long I'd forgotten how it could be. 

Then, them again later & some more.
