1) I kinda agree(on some things) with your last anon about the new L word being boring. I feel like some of the characters aren’t compelling. Their storylines at the moment all feel rather aimless and lacking any stakes. The main couple Dani/Sophie have zero chemistry. Alice has more of an interesting dynamic with her gf’s ex wife. The editing is off, in that the scenes move to quickly or I’m not learning anything compelling in the time I’m with these characters.

2) Some of the acting in the pilot was not good, lol. It’s been 10 years and jumping into their stories and not seeing any buildup to the couples getting together is not the best. I’m going to give it one more episode, but if it still isn’t grabbing me I’m moving on to The Watchman.

You should watch Watchmen regardless of how you feel about this show, heh, but I hope you are able to warm to it! It feels such a waste to not be into a show that you were actually open to. Even now, it’s not like these shows come along often.

Like I said, I haven’t watched, so I can only go by what others have said but some people seem to really like it so far. Chemistry is subjective but from what I’ve heard it may not be Dani/Sophie’s chemistry you need worry about but Dani/Bette? >_> Some of the differences may also just be down to how storytelling styles have changed, like how even the TV Star Treks seems fundamentally different from the previous ones. Aside from random Netflix sitcoms, I don’t really think we’ll be seeing shows written like they were back then no matter what we watch.

But of course if you’re not enjoying it, who am I to tell you to stick with it?
