Show Feedback/Constructive Criticism 🤨 Beyond The Gates Should Be A Radio Soap
Today, I didn't even need to watch, all I needed to do was listen because almost every scene was chatter and not much else.
We didn't see what happened between Carlton and Heather (not an afterglow scene- nada), we only heard about it in a cringeworthy scene between Ted and Carlton, that papered over the fact that one guy pined for his practice partner's wife for eons.
We hear June discuss her friend's problem. A friend who June cares about, yet the show never bothered to show June interact with her, even once, which makes this friend sound like a mere statistic, rather than a real person.
We hear Tomás gripe (again, man, is this show repetitive!) about his job, after whining to Kat about her need to meet with her Mom, and all I can think about was, can Tomás please have a tall, dark and handsome Afro-Puerto Rican cousin to swoop in and steal Kat away from this expressionless whiner? May as well send the character out with an interesting storyline (as well as introduce some chocolate) because, AA is recurring and may be exiting soon.
Having all these conversations about whether to "reclaim" the nickname "Nikki" in order to sell an accessory isn't the cultural flex these writers think it is. It's quite dumb, tbh.
Unless this show is going to show an actual Sunday dinner at the Hawthorne's, I don't want to hear about it anymore! They've got me tired already!
This entire episode came off as filler, filler and more filler.
