[QUOTE="xab, post: 431702, member: 925"] I found the episodes of BTG somewhere and went to take a look... The very first one was really well written and constructed, it was impressive, a daytime version of Dynasty. The numerous characters were introduced clearly and skillfully. But after seven episodes, I feel like the quality is already falling apart... The average sets seem tiny for a high-end series (the wedding, the press conference...). The writing is heavy-handed and unsubtle... Very cliché. We were treated (again) to a baby being born in a stuck elevator... The abandoned mistress returns with her illegitimate daughter (to whom she recounts her entire story, as if the kid didn't already know it by heart...). It's very heavy-handed... Not to mention the multiple love triangles that we see coming from a mile away... But maybe it's getting better ? Not sure I will check. The only positive point is that, finally, 30 years after Generations, a network dares to broadcast a soap opera entirely centered on Black people. In Trump's America, it's almost a political act... In any case, I won't criticize GH's writing anymore... It's a masterpiece in comparison... [/QUOTE]
