"still wanna go through the tree?" I'm loving the sarcasm

Donna just can't win. Give her a break

[segue-into-romanticism]

I think Dale's relationships with Helen and Tim are both a mix of passion and compassion but on very varying levels

[vole-mon-amour]

The Newsreader, 1x06. The impression improves as the episode goes, so don't mind the first ones.

She's an idiot. I mean, yeah, she's probably addicted, but she's also an idiot.

I... missed the exact moment when Dale moved in with her? Huh? I mean, yeah, he's still at home and got some space for his stuff at her house, but umm?

What a look. I like his sweater.

"Hi! Is Dale sick?" "Yep!"

The passive aggressive interaction. heh.

Oh, another cool sweater and soft look. <3

"Was I the first?" "No, there was someone else in the high school. A friend. Didn't work out very well."

You know what, I actually wouldn't mind an exploration of his sexuality on screen. To see how it all went with Adam, and how it affected Dale so he's so shy and confused and afraid of this side of himself.

"His dad caught us after school one day. He [Adam] said I forced myself on him. The called the police. I was taken to the station in front of everyone. They called me a pervert."

Not a single lgbtqia person deserves that.

And the transcription is very much correct! Dale is a sweetheart sometimes. Helen obviously didn't hear on how to read that. Honestly, how impatient she is with that.

How very conveniently that her cousin is in Kyiv & she speaks English that well. Nevertheless, they chose an actress that can actually speak Russian. It's probably the first time I heart Chernobyl being pronounced correctly, with a soft 'l' at the end. I'm grateful for that.

A meltdown indeed. Lmao.

I want to love Dale and say that he did nothing wrong, ever, but he did. And I'm not... I feel sorry for him at times, but I can't say that he's the babiest boy ever and ignore all the other things. Not in this show.

My policeman, part 2? "I'm afraid of this, I don't want this to exist, but I can't change myself, so I suffer." LET HIM LIVE.

If s2 isn't exploring Dale's sexuality and personality and continues with all this Dale/Helen nonsense, I don't want it. We saw how he is with Helen. Now give me his trauma and let him come to terms with it.

Oh Dale. The sooner you embrace that part of you, the better. I know how it's like, being bisexual and confused, pushing this away. It gets better, though.

Dale's eyes are all red and puffy from crying. :') I love me some poor mew meows. Sam is phenomenal. And both of their hairstyles is a mess. That's a good ending. The episode gets way better as it progresses.

Noelene and Rob are cute together. Rob learns fast, though I'm very bothered that they both seem to be homophobic (uneducated?). Fix it pls.

Overall, I think there's only one GOOD episode: the first one. The fifth one and the sixth ones are decent. The last ten-fifteen minutes of 1x06 were really good. I'm glad Helen understood it (hopefully). However, there's still so many things to uncover. Her mental state, her alcoholism, addictions. Dale's trauma. They seriously should admit it in s2 & show it.

And while I enjoy some part of the show, no, it's not The Newsroom (that one is way better if you give it some time, the writing is precious there). The vibe is very different. They kind of need more development? Improvement? And as much as I like Sam's acting, I can't say that I love Dale. I can't say that I love anyone in here. Everyone has their flaws & I'm not vibing with any of it (when I usually connect with both the flaws and the characters' personalities).

I like the visuals in this & something IWTV won't ever deliver, but I also think I should mostly stick with Lestat. And see if there's any other roles in Sam's filmography that I might like better than this one. We'll see what they do in S2.
