Poor, poor you, finding out that not everyone likes the same things.
Must come as quite a shock to you.
Could also do a marathon of all the Rogers & Hammerstein versions (Julie Andrews, Lesley Anne Warren and Brandy).
Chiming in here to say again how much I love this column. Sometimes it leads me to movies I never bothered with, and in this case reminds me that I’ve seen a movie once, loved it, and somehow never saw it again.
They did a really nice job fleshing out the step-sisters; you can see it makes rather sense that Rodmilla would put all of her effort into one of her daughters at the expense of the other. And seeing Jacqueline endure all the abuse and learn to stand up to her mother is so gratifying.
I did like how one of the step-sisters went through a character arc of her own and actually turned out all right (as well as not being outright terrible to start with).
Brett Goldstein’s facial expressions as Roy realized that Jamie Tartt was giving him a life lesson.
Yeah, I have been assuming that Sharon’s appearing intimidating, cold and standoffish was more of us seeing her through Ted’s eyes than through anyone else’s. The rest of the crew seems to like her a lot and be very comfortable with her.
I think Ted’s standoffishness and mistrust towards Sharon comes partially from jealousy. I think HE likes to be the one that fixes and helps people and he doesn’t need no fancy degree to do it, at least so he thinks.
I think you’ve basically got it. Nate at 60 will be voting against workplace harassment laws because “back in my day, I got punched nine times a week and never felt the need to go crying to HR.” He got a little taste of power and used it to perpetuate the cycle.

Nothing about Higgins? I love him more and more. I live the jazz scatting, the proudness in his lifetime movie marriage, and pulling a pipe out in the boot room.
On Roy and The Da Vinci Code, my guess is that Roy just wasn’t much of a book reader until Ted got him to read A Wrinkle In Time last season. Now Roy is hooked and is reading a bunch of stuff, with Da Vinci Code definitely something he missed.
I’m an LCSW, and though I’m no longer a clinician for individuals, I’d say Sharon acts pretty typical for how a workplace wellness professional might if they were very strict about boundaries. I used to work inpatient at a hospital, so I was responsible for not only my patients’ health, but occasionally also offered…
It was so revealing he keeps calling her “my wife” even though they signed divorce papers months ago and live in two different countries.
I think Ted’s vitriol towards Sharon and the psychiatric profession is eminently believable. He repeats himself that “he doesn’t quit,” which is more than just a personal philosophy - it’s what he tells himself about his marriage. I think a key to his emotional issues is that he will not let go of the idea that he…
to everyone in the comments confused about the ‘comeback’ thing - A. you are old, and the passage of time seems weird to you, but yes it’s been almost 10 years since he’s been in anything notable which leads me to B. a comeback doesn’t necessarily mean ‘coming back from horrible circumstances/being canceled’ it can…
I have always thought he is an interesting actor, even when he was young, so good to see him getting a quality vehicle.
Exploring what actually makes for a decent dude/boyfriend and letting everyone joke around about it sounds infinitely less gross than selling bullshit prince/princess fantasies that were already outdated 20 years ago and treating it with faux-true love gravitas.
That’s the problem when the labels are so arbitrary and self-proclaimed, you don’t know who to root for. I want a series where the two groups of men are solidly defined: half are romantics looking for a life partner, and the other half are deceptive mad scientists looking for unwitting test subjects for their godless…
