Ooof, should I hold off on marathoning it?

Also, were any of yall disappointed that future GLAAD-award winning show, We the People, was cancelled?

Apparently britt robertson is bad luck, but idk her and she was cute on the show.

I really fucking loved it. Esp when it started getting gay :'(

*For the People, lol

I enjoyed it, but it was lucky to even get a 2nd season. And yep, Britt is TV poison.

lol, ty.

I really really loved the premise tho. esp if we had more of the prosecutors reckon with their role in the criminal justice system.

would be really timely rn imo.

what do you think, Tired Brit?

I love Britt tbh I feel bad all her shit gets canceled lmao. I loveeeeed Life UnExpected.

I watched the first season of For the People and was surprised it got a season 2, which is why I didn’t watch the second season cos I knew what was coming.

Ugh yes I agree, I loved that show. Charles Michael Davis is so fiiiiiiiine and it ended just before he could get with Britt's character and I'm still upset about it.

I loved For The People because of Kate Littlejohn. I liked everyone except for Britt's character.

I enjoyed All Rise but knowing the BTS has definitely tainted it for me.

I loved it. Great cast chemistry, compelling characters, and really nice to see a Black lead character's ascent to power and how she handles all that comes with it. Still think it's worth the watch even if their second season now turns to dust because of all the writers' room disaster :(
