Lol, right? Sometimes it’s not worth the energy to track down the perfect pronunciation.
I’m watching Hightown and I really like the MC. I love a fucked up woman, especially one who’s kind of a jerk(and she’s hot). I think Monica is killing it in this role but I hate the male main SO much. Like I have fast forward his scenes. I don’t know much about the show and if he’s going to last or what but I want his character killed off. He is just SO vile and I feel like he’s only going to get worse.
Yeah, I don’t particularly like her yet as a person but I find her compelling and watchable and can feel her journey starting. Ray is…clearly horrible, too, but I’m just afraid the show’s gonna be like, they’re the same. 🙂 I don’t get why even when we have wlw leads they have to share screentime with men to this degree.
have you watched hightown?
I did! I was groaning at the clumsy exposition early on “you know I’m a gold star” but once it stopped introducing things, I liked it a lot better. I’m not liking Jackie yet, as a person, I don’t think we’re supposed to, but I am interested to see her journey.
I am curious how she meets Riley Voelkel’s character who right seems embedded in Ray’s pretty separate storyline. I can’t wait for the storylines to merge so Jackie emerges as the true lead and I’m super hoping that she and Renee are a thing.
and monica raymund is a wlw in real life too!
She is! Definitely a huge bonus for the show.
Hightown
I’m not sure if you watched Chicago Fire but Monica Raymund is in a new show called Hightown that has at least two different F/F relationships along with Riley Voelkel from The Originals/Legacies and it looks like they might have a thing.
Me:
Ooooh, the trailer’s out??
I do remember her in Chicago Fire and if this is what she left for, great. 😀
Ahh, I knew Riley Voelkel was gonna be in it but I’m not sure if she’ll be an actual love interest. Hope she is, what else is the point!
This does look like–not a Stumptown copy, but similar in some key ways, and different as well! And like, there a million procedurals of any given flavor, two queer female rough-edged detective-led shows with a “town” in the name isn’t any kind of limit.
