    Which recap section are you going to reinvigorate? Or, if you haven’t watched Memorials/Into the Ring, you could start there. Delightful is the word I would use to describe it.

      I’m not sure how you missed the memo but I actually hated Into the Ring.
      You’re right though, this calls for hijacking a recaps page again. We just need to choose the drama.

        I find this shocking! It’s DELIGHTFUL! Then again, I do love some wacky humor.

          I hated the female lead. Actually hated her as a human being. I mean Nana’s acting did not help but I could not watch another episode of her self-serving so-called ‘antics’ that I’m supposed to think make her ‘badass’. The golf ball stunt finally did me in. That and the fact that every win she had was because her boyfriend bailed her out from her own stupidity, ignorance and incompetence.

          Did I mention I did not like Into the Ring?

            I loved it as soon as I accepted it as a slapstick comedy.

            Yeah it’s a minority view. I get that. And I usually keep it quiet because my hatred of it shouldn’t colour others’ enjoyment of it. I tried to keep going because people kept raving about it but I couldn’t physically watch anymore. I dropped it at episode 8 when the whole episode was just him saving her over and over again and then he got installed as her secretary so he could save her full-time.

            I didn’t hate it but I couldn’t watch past episode 4. I usually love crazy comedy, but I gave up when the more qualified female candidate dropped out to let Se Ra run instead. Added to the zoom in effect of the cameras and her bad hair it was just too much for me. Sorry for being shallow.

            I guess @wishfultoki the enjoyment of it is dependent on whether you think that politics needs a fresh intake of earthy people who don’t know what the fuck they’re doing or if you know from bitter experience that those are called populists and it never ends well.
            I can’t believe they made a show about a flashy populist without knowledge, experience or competence who got elected because she was down with the people and then immediately sold out her constituency for money and I was supposed to be rooting for the populist.

            omg, I feel so much better to read your comments about into the Ring. I’m struggling to push past ep 4 because Beanie recommendations are so strong, but can’t help seeing her as a total flake. Sometimes it’s ok to just not like a popular show, so thank you @LTisirresistablyindifferent,DameJudi and @wishfultoki, I hereby quit!
            And, I also hate her hair 😊

        @leetennant You’re welcome to join Muggy in her FULL HOUSE TAKE 2 watch. It may be a bit hard to find the recaps page since the drama is not included in the master recaps list (for reasons unknown and despite my protests) but a quick search will bring it up.
