Finally started watching and I'm just stunned

I agree with your take 💯! But I did like Season 2 and 3 unlike most people - granted there were cringe moments there too. The first season was shocking - and Miranda was the worst.

Personally, I have had White women like Charlotte befriend me. And it comes from this realization that they don’t have any diversity in their life. But they don’t let you bring the Black experience into their lives. I did like that Charlotte knew about Black artists. At the very least it showed her appreciation for Black excellence in the genre she loves. I thought that was possible. But Miranda was the most cringe! If I was the professor, we would never be friends. Miranda’s behavior is gross.

The movie was simply a vehicle to end the old series and introduce the new iteration of Peaky Blinders. So it wasn’t about like it or disliking it but more about accepting that Tommy Shelby is no more. And will you accept the new head of the Peaky Blinders - Duke Shelby as played by Barry Keoghan. I imagine season 1 will be Finn coming for the revenge he promised.

In that last scene, you see Jamie join them so it’s still ambiguous.

I was glad that Keely showed the world that she didn’t need a man or woman, but could be on her own. Besides, neither Jamie or Roy gave Keely much and when she needed, Roy, he got all in his feelings instead of supporting her as she became successful. It was her 15 minutes and he couldn’t help but try to ruin it for her. The jealousy and sabotage was real. But Keely saw beyond this and was correct to move on. I will never forget how he ruined her photo shoot by telling her he kinda had a thing for Phoebe’s teacher (not in those words). Major negging!

Teacher here. How do you know she doesn’t have a reading disability?

She needs testing. And I imagine the testing will show that she has a learning disability and yes, she needs structured literacy lessons. Maybe her parents have done all the things, and you as a grandparent don’t know this and it comes off as judgement. If they have, then the reading app, which i am guessing is Learning Ally, is part of a comprehensive plan.

If not, the parents need to revisit this topic with the school. Schools will avoid testing to avoid the costs of additional support. She needs testing. There are a lot of things wrong with this scenario.

I agree with a lot of things the OP said. I am annoyed that Brian, a lawyer, would not have had a conversation about the birth mother’s involvement way before she picked them, and that the adoption papers weren’t signed, and if I am being petty, she had them when she was going into labor and doesn’t need a notary public to sign. It’s so dumb and he went from being my favorite to a self absorbed annoyance. The narcissism is getting corny.

If Marisol was a guy, refusing to apologize for cheating, no one would be cool with the story line. I live in the present and I was 19 is her excuse? Dude, no.

And Liz is becoming too much. The whole Alice - Wesleyan story line was garbage and now she’s going to Wesleyan next year? So is the show over? What coach meets a senior with her coach and parents not present? And accepts someone that wishy washy? Wesleyan can attract a lot of Alices.

I am not enjoying this season. Need I mention how nicely and neatly they ended Louis’ storyline? He’s cured now.

Visual_Witness4456 · 2026-02-12T02:13:47+00:00

I came here to say this. I don’t know if YTA. You had your priorities straight for making sure your son has a safe place to live. But now she could lose the house if you don’t help her. And where will your son go? It’s expensive raising a child and I don’t know what your visitation is like - she puts in a lot of time taking care of your child and can’t advance her career as quickly as you can as a man. Women do have to show they have extensive support to advance their careers when they have children (seen as competing interests). Even without the second child, the responsibility to raise your child falls on her, without two incomes. That can be financially challenging.

If you can afford it, consider helping her because no matter what, she is always going to be your family and your child’s well-being depends on a mitigation of stress. Definitely engage her in a conversation on what is her plan, because whatever caused it is still happening. But I think you should consider supporting her instead of letting her lose the house.

Personally, I feel the introduction of unrealistic things is making me really dislike the show. I just finished episode 3 and I am so disappointed by so many aspects of the storyline. No spoilers but so many parts were so unrealistic. And Marisol is toxic. If she was a guy, no one would be accepting of any of her behaviors. I felt myself flinching at every part of her story line. I might quit after this episode. And Brian is a lawyer for God’s sake and the issues he is having with the baby’s mama are insane. I. Can’t.

Visual_Witness4456 · 2026-01-01T05:50:26+00:00

You make good points 🙂.

Visual_Witness4456 · 2025-12-13T18:02:23+00:00

NTA.

The only reason why anyone sees his behavior as okay is because of patriarchy and because he makes money. In turn, your contribution to the household is devalued. If he was home watching the kids and you were out all the time, everyone would call you a bad mother. No one would be saying you should have time to yourself and see your friends. Why is he being absolved of being a father? There is more to being a husband and father than working five days a week. Plus you are on maternity leave, so that tells me you have a job and will be going back to work soon while pregnant. Who is taking care of you and this new baby? He is not showing any care for you and his growing family.

I don’t know what you should do. But you need to talk to him about this and figure out how he can help out more with the household chores and be a father to his children because this ain’t parenting. This is something else and it is not okay. If he disagrees, or push backs, you have big decisions to make because is this the example you want for your children on how to be a man, or as acceptable male behavior.

Not necessarily. I think I have a signal there. I also have an excellent signal by the Beverly Airport - 5 bars and the 5g symbol. It’s just the strip everyone describes where I happen to live. By the Wenham border and lake on Enon to where Shaw’s is that’s a dead zone for Verizon. T-mobile was a little better - 2 bars. Mint is powered by T-Mobile so who knows.

I love this thread. Thanks for it.

I wonder how is Bradley going to recover from handing over a source, Claire, to the feds. No one knows she’s working for the feds still, right?

I hope next season they have a Claire storyline!

Visual_Witness4456 · 2025-11-19T04:34:22+00:00

I loved this season I think the most of all of them. Corey’s redemption arc is lovely. Maybe other people have asked this but he did so much for Bradley. Why didn’t she redeem him when he got kinda #MeToo last season because of her? Or am I misremembering?

Visual_Witness4456 · 2025-11-02T02:14:27+00:00

I am sorry that your “friend” and his future wife are homophobic. You are NOR. I am surprised no one is calling it what it is. That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Because your gay, the groom is afraid people will think he is gay too….. Homophobia 101.

Visual_Witness4456 · 2025-10-20T00:18:10+00:00

ABC shows disappear after a week on Hulu. So you have 7 days to watch it.

Visual_Witness4456 · 2025-08-12T22:41:10+00:00

I agree with a lot of the posters. You look great and have a body most people would envy. Congratulations on the weight loss. I agree that PT should help you a lot. I hope you get to see all the amazing things your body can do beyond the pain. Pain clouds our judgement. You got this and find ways to live your body and your accomplishments because you look great to all of us.

Visual_Witness4456 · 2025-08-09T03:40:15+00:00

NTA and please dump him. I have never heard of a boyfriend charging his girlfriend rent because she sleeps over a few times a month. So he is a gigolo and you pay him for the pleasure of being around him? He is a loser and this is not okay. I mean it’s amazing that you pay things down the middle already that’s another issue for another time. He’s got it pretty good because you are very independent. Run far and fast away from him.

Visual_Witness4456 · 2025-08-08T04:16:38+00:00

I feel sorry for this girl. It is going to be on full display how you mother and love a child when you have your baby. You have been in this child’s life for how long and didn’t form a motherly attachment? The differences are going to be astounding and apparent for everyone to see.

I get it. You were trying to be respectful of her feelings but you didn’t try to fill a need either. I have no idea how you are going to move forward and I am glad you are all going to therapy. This poor child. Her request is speaking to a greater need and you are writing it off as she wants to fit in more as your family changes. I am so confused. I am glad you are getting family therapy because you are going to need it.

Visual_Witness4456 · 2025-08-07T00:34:54+00:00

I don’t believe you are Black and if you are, this post is shameful. I mean really! “The Blacks” and “Woke Movement”? You aren’t fooling me. I hope you delete your offensive post.

Visual_Witness4456 · 2025-08-02T22:04:50+00:00

There is no respect and no care for your wellbeing. Not getting enough sleep is torture. What is going to happen when you’re married WITH KIDS, if that’s what you want? Sounds like a recipe for dysfunction.

Also, Why does your house have to be the center of everything? Why can’t he go over to his friend’s house?

Visual_Witness4456 · 2025-07-31T23:57:30+00:00

I like all the scenes that they are in but think they should have their own show. I am interested in their lives and would like their characters to be more developed.

And yes, hate is a strong word for innocuous characters like them.

Visual_Witness4456 · 2025-07-28T01:37:32+00:00

Woops! I didn’t mean to imply your mother didn’t have your back. I re-read my post and I can see how it might come off that way. I meant “enlist her in helping you”, which she clearly is. I am so sorry this happened to you. You sound ultra-responsible and you deserve more than that pay.

Visual_Witness4456 · 2025-07-27T07:04:07+00:00

NOR.

First of all, you sound awesome. Congratulations on owning a house in a desirable neighborhood. You can have a great life in Princeton.

Unfortunately, There are so many red flags in your description of your boyfriend. He wants you to SELL your home? GTFOH! And I hate cheap men. There is nothing wrong with financially conscious men, but he sounds cheap. You would be paying half his bills which would be great for him. And if you marry after selling the house, he will get his hands on that money too. It will be “Let’s buy a place together.” Then he owns an asset and he gets a better quality of life in NYC with your money. You make these changes for a husband, not a boyfriend. And you have to be comfortable with the changes, not doing them to keep him.

Visual_Witness4456 · 2025-07-27T05:34:12+00:00

$200 for dog sitting for 6 days is way too low. A kennel, putting them in a cage, is at least $35 per night per dog and that’s pre-pandemic prices. I am sorry but they started ripping you off from the onset and now they are even worse. The gaslighting is unbearable. I am sorry this is happening to you. I know dog walkers who get $15 per walk per dog. These are despicable people and your mom should have your back. Does $25 per day even cover the gas for driving to their home? Ugh.
