BM/WW IR sightings on TV

Currently watching the 5th episode of Hulu's "Tiny Beautiful Things". Am I the only person who finds the Daughter annoying?

When I saw the trailer her very presence made me lose all interest. Looked like the show was more about the mom's relationship with her than the husband/ father. No thanks.

I only watched the first episode. Seemed obvious the wwbm couple wasn't actually going to be together, so it moved way down my priority list.

But the daughter didn't seem all that annoying to me in that one episode.

You're just like me watched the first episode and avoided that shit it like the plague it was.

For single drunk female I've just skimmed through season 2 and my advice is to avoid that shit PLEASE. season 2 kills the IR as a matter of all the IR, it's like trying to say please dont date outside your race. I hope it gets cancelled season 2 was dead.

Seems like all the BM/WW relationships dont get happy endings on tv these days. There is a message that is being pushed but i'mma ignore it and pretend I'm blind to all the failed IR relationships between BM and WW on tv. Wish they could make a show like happy endings this time to neutralise all the negativity on tv right now.

In terms of single drunk female, I both agree and disagree. The first season was solid because it stripped down the usual tv bullshit for a messy depiction of a woman turning her life around. The BM was the romantic lead of that season. Whatever was happening between them ended in the season finale like a romantic breakup. The second season, which I skimmed as well (for the same reasons you did) followed that narrative thread. All romantic couples on these shows get together and breakup because to quote show runner Mike Schur, all tv couples need obstacles to overcome. This doesn’t bother me with IR couples on tv. What does bother me about season two of SDF is they expanded the cast but didn’t expand the BM’s role, thus he’s just another player amongst numerous others. Also, all the males on the show are written in an idealized “woke” way. Combine this with sex positivity (think Fleabag) and, for me at least, you get a silly sex romp about a gritty real subject. And the writing is on the wall, the BM is very close with the trans female character. There’s the unstated love triangle between the BM and the white dude. I’m out. Season one was good - strong subject, decent to good storytelling, no bullshit. I don’t have much hope for the series moving forward. I guarantee you that there isn’t one BM in that writers room.

Are they divorced? were they intimate at all?

LOL, y'all quit too soon. @Jeffrey Tripp No Kathryn Hahn & the black husband aren't divorced. He kicked her out of the house sometime before the 1st episode's present day scenes. But she moves back home in the 2nd or 3rd episode. So they're back together, but they still have internal family issues & are going to therapy.

I watched and this was actually pretty good. They played the struggling married couple very well. Actually I like the relationship between the younger version of the characters as well.
 
this probably doesn't count under traditional bm/wf pairing but I figured let's break up the monotony

Brother shows up two thirds of the way thru

its was disappointing Rachel Weis was sexual personality in show and had with all white actors except sure black man though his character was to close to her but nothing happen. this happen with all 70s white actress like amy adams and nicole kidman etc

That shouldn't have surprised you.
 

I binged this show and thought it was really enjoyable. There’s a love triangle between Keri Russell’s character, her husband and a Black British politician but it’s written well and there’s so much going on in the show that the romance stuff is kind’ve background for me.

Does the Black guy get intimate with Keri Russell's character?

I don't think Rachel Weisz ever played any sort of love interest to a black man in her career. She could very well be against that. I said this before that Ali Larter isn't the only actress that was exposed for having an issue with having intimate scenes with black men. There are more; Rachel could be one of them. I never seen this show though to know of any relationship dynamics so it could also be a nothingburger.
 
In the latest episode of the CBS series Fire Country, Jake and Cara (played by Jordan Calloway and Sabina Gadecki) have their second romantic outing.

SMH & LOL. ABC's "A Million Little Things" is a show I probably would've got into years ago if they had established a prominent IR early in the series . Now they wait till the final season to do 1 with a regular character & the other formely a recurring character who is just guest-starring in this final season. Just a 1 episode tease.
