The Catch 2.1

[meganbmoore]

-The problem with this show (Well, one of the problems.  It has its share, but the good outweighs the bad for me.)  is that the mob family with bisexual siblings at war with each other where everyone thinks stabbing each other in the back* is a sign of love has become the most interesting part, but the show clearly still thinks the romance is the most interesting part.  I mean, the romance is certainly betterthan I expected it to be at the begining of last season, but it still isn't all that.

-GINA TORRES.  ON MY SCREEN.  WOMAN NEVER AGES.

-I'm relieved they wrote Dao out instead of killing him off, which is what concerned me when I first heard the actor was leaving, but what about Reggie?  Is he going to be an off-sceen casualty of whoever is after the Kensington Firm?

-I have such hopes for Margot possibly working with Alice and Val, and am almost certain to have them all crushed.

-IDC about Alice's brother and his creating an unneeded triangle with Danny and Sophie, but maybe that will change.


*And everyone has the exact same taste in both men and women?  We're 3-for-3 as far as Rhys and Margot go.

I agree with you, the criminals are the best part of the show. Ben/Alice just frustrates me, confuses me, and occasionally makes me angry.

The show I want is the one where Alice and Margot are frenemies without Alice ever supporting Margot's criminal empire but helping Margot against other criminals. I have a feeling it's going to START to give me that show, then yank it away from me just when I start to feel safe about it. I think part of why the criminals are more interesting is because the actor are more compelling.

I like Alice and Ben individually (somewhat surprisingly in Ben's case) but can't really be happy with them as a couple, in large part because I feel the show glossed over his betrayal and her forgiving him too easily. He should still be trying to work his way back into her trust at this point and trying to prove that he can change for her. And it's like the show knows it but still had Alice switch from "hunt you down and destroy you" to "MY LOVE!" too easily. At least val still hates him, and no one is questioning whether or not that's justified

I. Um. What network is this on? This show might hit my buttons. (If only it also had a science fiction element too!)

ABC. It's part of the Shondaland lineup.
