Kosher Soul Have y'all checked out a show called Kosher Soul? It's about a Jewish princess marrying a Southern black comedian. It just started recently. I watched the first couple episodes. They lean a little heavy into the stereotypes like "reality" tv likes to do. I caught myself laughing though. http://www.mylifetime.com/shows/kosher-soul And nobody ask me what I was doing watching Lifetime to even find this show in the first place.
Well, in the show, the character is written in as sort of barren and neurotic (just my opinion) and has shown flashes of cruelty, particularly toward her hired domestic aide. While some of it is certainly due to her husband's (Michael Sheen's character) obsession with work and Lizzy Caplan's character, it comes across to me as capricious and mentally unstable. Other than narcissism and neurotic behavior, her liaison with the black male love interest is probably the only emotional expression she has shown in the show. I just heard about "Kosher Soul" and saw it on the Guide display as I was channel surfing. Would you say it's worth watching?
It ain't appointment television. But if you have time to kill, you'll get a few chuckles. I'd say that you'll know by the end of the first episode (30 min) if you're on board or not. The thing I do like is that this couple has been together for almost a decade and is excited to get married. It's normal couple stuff (with the standard fake reality tv foolishness) instead of a struggle for them to even become a functioning pair. Also, notorious IR coupler Russell Simmons is on the show at some point.
Thanks for the info. Do you know which episodes I should watch if I wanted to check out her storyline? Or is the whole thing worth watching (for something other than sex/nudity)?
Fortitude airs on Pivot which I think is a new suspense/mystery/sci-fi show from Great Britain. They had an intense IR sex scene in the pilot episode starring one of the main characters and it is worth checking out. I only get Pivot in standard definition thru Verizon but it may be availble on your provider in HD
I think it's a pretty good show. More psychosexual than anything else - repressed characters, desires boiling beneath the surface, that sort of thing.
Ok im gunna stop being mean Here's the cast from fortitude I don't see a black guy...unless he's like wentworth miller or vin diesel and looks pretty white until he lets his Afro grow back in So I'm assuming the IR was a bullshit one-timer between non-essentials to please the liberals
google and wikipedia are your friends in this case was able to find synopsis of the episode Characters Nicholas Pinnock as Search & Rescue Pilot Frank Sutter VerĂ³nica Echegui as Elena Ledesma On the show he is apparently married to a white woman played by Jessica Raine (Julia 'Jules' Sutter). After an argument about their son she storms out and his mistress Elena turns up and they end up having sex in the garage.
I had never heard of Fortitude until I read your comments. In case you're interested, the episodes which have aired are available on popular torrent sites. I downloaded the pilot for later viewing.
Yikes! I use a cloud torrent service-- there's no client software to install, and I don't use my own bandwidth, which of course draws unwanted attention. Don't jinx me! Taye Diggs and Kathleen Robinson's characters on TNT's Murder in the First are slowly moving toward a romantic relationship.
