Aw, thanks anon, but really, I should apologize, you came to me with a show you liked and I just blurted out all the things I didn’t like about it. Rude!
Sorry, where was this scene with Clare?? Did I miss it? I thought I watched the first two eps pretty carefully… I saw the scenes where Clare did fairly intimately examine and treat Baldwin’s wound but beyond that?
Anon, actually, I didn’t love the first ep and I still don’t like the writing, I think it’s a bit formulaic and obvious and contrived. BUT Baldwin having a greater part in the second ep improved it immensely. Maybe it’s because she barely speaks, lol, and so all her scenes are saved from the writing which, I mean, there are some big actors who are coming across as kind of boring and those are not boring actors! Olivia Williams and JK Simmons?? If you told me there was a scifi drama about parallel worlds with those two, I would have expected much, much better. Oh, also, Baldwin being there like quadrupled the amount of time given to women from the first ep. But I’m much more interested after the second ep and if they stop wasting time on bad exposition and really spelling out “what makes a person”, I can see it becoming much better.
Also, are you sure the pair is Baldwin and Clare? It’s been a while since I saw the trailer, but the woman in the scenes with Baldwin didn’t look like Clare? Coulda been her counterpart, true, true.

Because she’s a big ole crybaby! Heh, but seriously, she’s so good at it, and it makes those scenes so good.
I’m sure we’ll get our Rana crying too soon.

Where’s that coming from?? No. I think Zee the character we’ve seen wouldn’t even be outing Rana, tbh, but like a whole bunch of things on soaps, I handwave that as something meant to progress the plot and set up new dramatic arcs and which they’ll eventually walk back on.
But hitting her would be a step too far for even angry Zee. The optics of it alone, Rana being tiny, Zee a Muslim man, nah. I replied to the anon who said the outing made Zee look so bad by downplaying its effects, but this would make him look extremely terrible. And there aren’t even any plot reasons for it, why do the outing if this was gonna happen? And surely that’d open up its own new arc of domestic violence, which I don’t think we’ve seen any signs of.

I have no idea! About a million things wrong with they said, but like…why? Why send that? To me? Why send that to me? What kind of troll attempt is that?

Anon…friend… I have no idea what possessed you to write this and send it to me.
