[QUOTE="Brian Kinney, post: 258823, member: 3219"] That's when I finally watched again to see how they do the [I]Psycho[/I] part and I was delighted. I thought it was brilliant. I watched the first half of [I]Bates Motel[/I] Season 1 and lost interest, didn't bother to watch again until I became aware of Norma's death. You wrote in another thread it is because Covid and racism as issues that put you off. I'm also starting to have doubts about [I]This Is Us[/I] since the start of this season but for other reasons. I dislike how they constantly add new characters (this season the worst example of having no real impact because it's a few episodes ago and it is probably never mentioned again: the Asian guy who knew someone of the family to make it not too spoilerish) and forget to continue with others that were introduced two seasons ago (Deja's boyfriend, uncle Nicky). Too many random characters that come (surrogate mother) and go (the other Jack) while the adult Pearsons kids move too slow in their stories. And still no episode that tells a bit about Miguel - I know more about Kate's neighbour and the guy Toby met at the parking lot two episodes ago! Also in the same episode with the old dude at the parking lot they tricked me with the introduction of new characters who actually weren't part of the story (so it's not a spoiler!): another flashback into the 1960's but with some inventor for technology that developed our smart phones... no relation to any of the Pearsons or anyone they know. It was like a kitschy commercial (we keep you connected in this hard times, as SNL could film it as a parody). I felt betrayed! Really cheated! This is what happens if producers think they can "educate" us. Sorry, I click on Google's history logos for that!!! And it's hard to swallow because I still watch [I]Riverdale[/I] which hints I don't set the level high (but it never disappointed me too much). But my love for [I]This Is Us [/I]is now between Sue Ellen's exit with the never-mentioned again film and J.R. in the asylum. [/QUOTE]
