Called it last week, mom knew !
I think Martin should be in 9/10ths of the show. Not the silver tongued son. (I.e. annoyingly, self-consciously clever). Flip it.
The sister reminds me of Charlotte from Revenge.
hahahahaha
For real? Are we really doing this? First of she sounds more and more like the character she was on Scandal and I don't hate that. I DO hate the clearly insane restraints he has to keep himself in because he's so "tortured".
So the 2nd scene of the episode has Bright ripping his restraints to fling himself out the window held on only by the other half of his restraints. Why doesn't he have proper restraints? He's not super human he can't rip restraints out of the wall if they're properly secured. Why did he end up half out the window? His bed isn't that close and it wouldn't make sense. I'm 4 minutes into the episode and I feel like the entire series just jumped the shark. 4 Minutes into Episode 3 and I might just no longer care about any one or anything happening. If you jump out the window you get cut especially when the only thing holding you in the window is a ledge of broken class.
Everyone keeps trying to tell him his memories are messed up and they're telling him to basically man up. I mean this time they even mention mental health but still no psychologist? I take it back he finally has a shrink. But why is it a child's shrink? People just keep making Bright more and more eccentric but eccentric people aren't eccentric because they make odd choices. It's because they make unusual justifications. Monk might see a kid's shrink because she's got the highest record of improvement in the state. Johnny Smith might choose her because she's wears gloves or doesn't shake hands. Bright chooses her because..... lollipops? I know he was being facetious but the whole thing is silly.
:sigh: Whatever happened to smart writing.
weird and qwirky medical examiner because MEs can't be normal people: The victims had high doses of LSD 50 times normal
Bright: That's no coincidence. That's our killer's MO
Who wrote this dialog? The fact that the ME said it MEANS it was the killer's MO. She was confirming what you said was the killer's MO earlier. Why would you restate the obvious.
Honestly people shoot way too often in this show. Every time Bright is about to be stabbed someone shoots them. It's weird. This show is all flash and no substance three episodes in. Very unfortunate.
also in before all the druggies start chiming about how LSD is actually healthy and no one ever dies on drugs and whatever druggies say.
This show is not written, acted and casted well.
I had to bow out of Scandal after a season and half; the relentless cynicism of its twisty-turny schtick just became too much for me. I did miss watching Bellamy Young work on the regular, though, so I'm happy she seems to be a big part of this show. Jessica Whitly is pretty much the same role she played as the first lady on Scandal, but it doesn't matter when she does it so well. Playing a character whose personality is inherently mannered is a big challenge, and Young can seem like she's laying it on a bit thick at times. Watch for the moments where Jessica's carefully maintained, New York royalty persona slips, though, and you can tell that this is a much more nuanced performance than its campy surface charms might suggest.
I'm not convinced this show will ever live up to the quality of its performances and excellent visual style, but it certainly is a fun and compelling ride, and I don't really need it to be more than that.

Well, Jessica did know about Martin's activities. But to what extent was she involved? That's the question. I think the whole family has psychopathic/sociopath tendencies, but Martin is the only one known to us, so far, that has gone the extra mile. But I do think Jessica might be the worst one. There's just something off about her. Like she's completely different than the way she's been portraying herself thus far.
