(Different Anon) but yeah i agree with you,i think they cancelled bc they probably didn’t want to keep holding the actors indefinitely till they could finally film cause that inactive time falls all on Netflix’s pocket. In the meantime if you want TBH to get renewed i would recommend posting lots of it on twitter, essentially giving it hype so Netflix can see its a show worth renewing (thats what got WN a second season) Also from what I’m seeing Netflix did a shit job promoting TBH
Yeah, they really didn’t give it a chance in the promo department, even WN I’d heard of in the weeks leading up to the premiere, probably because the title and premise were so wild, and the trailer played it up, the kind of thing people passed around half as a joke. I wouldn’t have known about TBH at all if I hadn’t looked up new shows dropping that day.
In general I agree that posting on Twitter drives up engagement and shows interest so I’d advise that for people who want to work toward a renewal but also watching it on Netflix, if they can, helps loads.
And another anon:
Noooooo!!! Apparently Maddie and Devon did a live but no one recorded it, such a shame ? (hopefully they do more in the future) id love to see what they have to say about their characters
I know! I missed it too, only caught a clip somebody uploaded, which was pretty lol-worthy, but it’s awesome they did it at all. I kind of love that moment after a new ship drops and the actresses suddenly realize, oh, this is gonna be popular. And then there’s that nice period where it’s all a mutual appreciation society (we won’t talk about the dreaded final stage). I wonder if they’ll do official promo together, given they DID have a core storyline and a lot of the fan interest has been around them. But as the above anon said, there’s really been so little official promo for the show at all, including with just Maddie and Anjelica.
Listen, I did not see that twist coming in Summerland lol I’m sure other viewers did, but not me! And when it happened, seeing Ava go through all of those emotions was an experience! I fucking loved it and thought “oh my god, how fucking convenient and unrealistic” But yes, finally something corny happens for us. More of this contrived make you feel mushy inside wlw films please!
I KNOW, Alice’s face when she saw the picture! I have that moment on my list to gif but I don’t even know if I can do it justice without the sound, the sheer incredulity and like, Gemma Arterton almost hyperventilating as she looked through the rest of the pictures. And omg, her face when she saw Vera and then Vera withFrank.
And yes, it was convenient and unrealistic and contrived, but that happens all the time in m/f movies! And it’s not even like it was a massive coincidence, Vera had actually spent a lot of effort actively coordinating this. In m/f movies, the climactic suspense comes from whether or not the person who’s more in doubt at that point will forgive the other person or choose to follow their heart instead of convenience or even if the timing will just work out, whatever it takes to show up. And that’s what Vera did! Show up! Like, yeah, it was a bit cheesy and unearned but it often is! We–by which I mean all viewers, wlw or not–are so used to f/f characters separating in historical pieces (even when the book says they stay together, TITTB??) that we’re almost judging it by a different standard, since it’s so out of the realm of normal for us. Not every movie has to be the best movie ever, it can just be watchable and enjoyable, and this super was.
