Runaways episode is possibly going to be the last we see of them. I'm convinced Freeform shouldn't had been the right place for them. So over this cancel happy hollywood!

I don't think Freeform was the problem. Like I said before the show was boring & uninteresting especially in season 2. "Cloak & Dagger" needed better writers/producers. The show would've been better off if the same producers who did "Runaways" also did C&D.

Well that's subjective if you think it was slow and boring. Others didn't feel that way obviously. But Freeform has been cancelling shows quick leading to backlash. There has been some backlash to this decision as well leading to Cloak and Dagger being #1 on trending for part of yesterday evening. Anyway if it was on Hulu it probably would have had a better chance. Although the exec producer must take much of the blame by squandering all of that momentum.

Nancy Drew right now is my favorite show of the new shows out that features a bm/ww relationship. The horror element to this mystery is done right so far!

Really hope it won't get away from what's working with this show.

And I love that even though the characters are still young they are VERY adult with these characters. Ned Nickerson is a great example of that. Tunji Kasim(Fun Fact: Who's Scottish BTW) is nailing this role and owning his screen time.

She's in a long-term relationship with Ned Nickerson, a white teen in the books. This is no surprise given the fact that Nancy Drew was created in 1930, when interracial love was seen primarily as taboo. The outcry against the publisher would have caused a firestorm and forced them out of business. lol

Yeah, but unfortunately knowing Hollywood they'll probably throw in a love triangle to "spice" things up. lol. I hope they don't especially since episode 3 explored and tested their strength and made them a strong couple.
 
Watching this past week's episode of "Legacies" (Season 2, Episode 3) right now...

Is MG just destined to be friendzoned by Lizzie? Dude is such a simp. She really got him helping her get with some other dude. LOL.
 
The new season of Legacies is a spectacular bore, I hate to admit. Season one was exuberant with sharp storytelling; the opposite is true now.
I'm going to wait a few more episodes before making a decision whether to drop it altogether.

It looks like they are going for the love story build. Plus there is something strange going on with dude
MG can't see him. And I don't think anybody but Lizzy could see him. Strange.

Also they gave a hint when they were on the bench at that football game that she has feelings towards MG with the way she looked at him.

I kind of agree. But strange thing is happening I never seen before and that is their ratings for the premiere started out low but kept going up with each week. lol.

Episode 3 was a lot better than the first two and the previews for episode 4 looks pretty good.

It's good with Raphael being back since he is the fan favorite male of the show. A rare thing where the black male character is more desirable to the female audience and more badass to the male audience than the white male lead.

What turned me off with the Godfather of Harlem story is that the couple was first mentioned by the black guy's mother who portrayed her son as having some twisted addiction to white women and how he needed to be cure of that. That's racist but does the show want us to think of her as being bigoted like the Italians who frown upon relationship? If so will black audiences grasp that or will they nod their head in approval while talking about how "black women/black mamas know best." Its incredible how the black community paints black women/white men as being some type of evil betrayal that can lead to no good but are more accepting of the narrative of black women white men being about love. I suppose this is what happens when a group of men allow their women to shape the narrative in the first place.

Watching last week's episode of "Godfather of Harlem" (Season 1, Episode 4) right now...


Besides Lucy Fry & Kelvin Harrison Jr.'s ongoing IR (BTW in this episode they're thinking about moving to L.A. because they see the celebrity IRRs in the hollywood magazines & think they they can be together freely if they move out there), in this episode a WW named Amy Vanderbilt (played by Joanne Kelly) that Bumpy Johnson has previously had an on & off affair with in the past is in town for business & she's basically trying to throw it at him all episode despite him turning her down because he wants to stay loyal to his current wife.:

I'm on episode 3 right now. I'll be watching this episode sometime this week. Pretty good show. I would say it should be nominated but these award shows just seem to pick personal favorites and has rarely outside of The Good Place has nominated these shows with IR in them. I still shake my head at how Sorry For Your Loss didn't get nominated for an Emmy. But this is a really good show.

LOL. If the IR on "Godfather of Harlem" was a LGBT 'ship, it would get nominated & win all types of awards. Same for probably for "Sorry for your Loss" too.

Well somebody dropped the ball here and it wasn't me. lol.

Apparently we missed that Carla Gugino's New Crime Noir JETT featured her in a IR with Mustafa Shakir who plays her old partner in crime.

There is no hint of it in the trailer. I seen this trailer on my TL on twitter as an promoted AD. Didn't think anything of it. But for those that planned on skipping EUPHORIA on the weekends you can check this out. I will watch the first episode maybe later tonight to see if this is any good. The trailer had the tone of a very Carla Gugino type project.

Nice, I always had a thing for Carla Gugino. According to Wikipedia though, Mustafa Shakir is only a recurring character.

That one episode gifted us with I believe one of the top five onscreen romances/relationships between a black man and a white woman ever. In any medium. I was blown away with what they did between those two even within the short span of an hour-long show. I could go on about it but I want to know when its okay to list things that are "spoilery".

Did y'all stick with "Jett" for the rest of the season? I wanna know if it's worth bingeing the rest of the season.

I just finished it and it started off strong but lingered in between. But the season finale finished strong. If they get a season 2 I'll tune in again. It was a nice stylish noir thriller.

Overall the show is good and the storyline remained engaging.

However it would ultimately disappoint me so far as the whole Jett and Quinn thing goes. If that is why you are interested in finishing up the season you may not want to bother. I can spoil what happened for you if you want to know. Or you can go in blind when finishing it. Let me know.
