[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are too many characters now and it’s impossible to know them well enough to care.

The show could be great but Michael Patrick King is a terrible writer of women. I wish they had more female writers like they did on the original show. [/quote]

Che and Kristin's Upper E Side friend don't add anything, show would be better without them. Really like Nya and Seema, even if I agree with a PP that Seema needs to be better differentiated from Samantha.[/quote]

Not a Che fan and agree Charlotte's Upper E Side friend (can't even remember character's name!) doesn't add much in terms of storytelling but I'm always interested in her fashion. She's gorgeous and wears everything so well![/quote]

Yes, she's too similar to Charlotte, including the Bunny storyline. Her professional storyline isn't convincing, and the writers aren't deft enough to handle race in an interesting or thought-provoking way.

Someone with a stable family life and tons of money is going to be less interesting than the other characters.  But she definitely gives us good fashion![/quote]

She's very beautiful but it really speaks to the underdevelopment of her character that none of us can remember her name. I also don't really find it realistic that her MIL is such a judgmental c**t. Plus that feels like a retread of Bunny.[/quote][/quote]

I actually disagree. As a Black woman I think I know where they are heading with the MIL plot (rushing to make her daughter’s hair presentable and not wild). MIL is classic AKA/Martha’s Vineyard/Jack and Jill type. I expect a huge rebellion against MIL and her expectations of what a proper uppity Black family should look like. And yes, it’s intentionally meant to run parallel with Charlotte’s old character. I actually like it. I love Nicole Ari-Parker (and her gorgeous husband Boris Kodjoe) and her style is impeccable.[/quote]

How much can they rebel, though? They're ULTRA richy rich art types whose idea of rebellion is probably this extremely $$$$$ designer thing v that one. It's not like they're about to go live in a yurt and wear pajamas instead of clothes. And we don't even know the MIL - she's just an idea to us now, not a character.

But if you do have insight into her and the family, please share, because I would love to get a deeper feel for this part of the plot![/quote]

Not expecting a full on rebellion but general push back to MIL from son and wife about what is/isn’t acceptable. Letting daughter wear her hair however she likes for instance. Full on natural.

If they don’t end up doing this, the story line is unnecessary IMO.[/quote]

Oh and we certainly know the MIL. There were quite a few scenes with her last season that showed same uppity personality while also trying to showcase Black excellence. She’s def showing a certain type that exists in the community. [/quote]

Maybe I am not remembering enough from last season. [/quote]
