You can 100% tell that Marc Cherry’s thumbprints are on this series. He has a unique storytelling style.
Simone is Gabby Solis’s sister from another mister. The glow up from shallow to a woman of substance was an enjoyable (but heartbreaking) journey.
Tommy was some nice eye candy but I wish I hadn’t looked up the actors’ ages- a 30 year age difference made their love scenes a little uncomfortable to watch.
My love for Jack Davenport is still going strong. I haven’t seen him in anything that I haven’t loved him in. RIP Smash.
While I did binge this, in the middle I got antsy to know why and who the women killed. I feel like 8 episodes would’ve been better. There were some filler episodes.
I loved the thread of the same house through the decades.
Beth Anne was the craziest of all the wives, but having someone gaslight you into believing you’d played a hand in killing your own daughter will do that to you.
Didn’t really care for April. It’s hard to be sympathetic with someone who willingly and knowingly sleeps with a married man.
Taylor was annoying at first but by the end I really liked her. They made Eli more sympathetic at first but then flipped the script when we saw all that she’d been through because of his addiction. She became a lot more relatable after that.
Jade/Irene was honestly scary. I was so relieved when she died. Ding dong the witch is dead.
I cried no tears over Rob either. I felt for him when I thought he was cheating as a coping mechanism for losing his daughter but after we found out what he did - that guy can kick rocks.
I do not support Naomi’s rampage and nastiness against Karl, but not gonna lie if I found out my high school aged child was sleeping with someone 20 to 30 years older than them - I’d go nuclear too. We have a double standard. It’s cool and fun when an older woman sleeps with a younger man but icky and gross when an older man does it. No, it’s icky and gross no matter who it is. I can see why Naomi would have been angry/murderous towards Simone. I think sans the terrorizing a terminally ill man in his dying days - she had a perfectly normal reaction to finding out her child was sleeping with a woman decades older than him.
The one loose end that I wish had been tied up was Sheila and Beth Anne becoming friends again. Sheila was a good friend - better than April had been.
Poor Teacup. I’m glad Taylor and Eli took him at the end.
ai generated images make me increasingly sad and tired the more i see them in more and more casual contexts. i dont know how to explain, but it just fills the world with a bunch of nothing. no matter how visually stunning the pictures might be, there's nothing behind it for me. no dedication, no emotions, no feelings, no hard work or creativity, nothing i can truly think about, admire or enjoy. i dont think thats how art is supposed to be
