I only intended to watch the first episode, but I couldn't stop. I *had* to find out what happened, and I wasn't disappointed, even though I stayed up way too late to finish it.

It's a tribute to the actors that they were able to show the increasing layers of their characters as the story went on and became more complex. Multiple sides of many issues emerged, and one important lesson I took away from The Other Black Girl is that there are no easy or simple answers to problems. It left me wanting more, and it seems that there is more to this story than one season revealed. So, let me just say: bring it on!

Very fond of Gina Rodriguez and Lauren Ash, so mainly watching it for them, as I've liked their previous work. And their interactions show the chemistry that comes with having worked together before. I've just watched the first two episodes, so we'll see what happens.

As others mentioned, the premise is somewhat like Ghosts, but without an explanation for why Nell suddenly sees the ghosts or why they disappear after she writes the obituary. But it's a bit of fun seeing the different ghosts and lives Nell interacts with and learns from. I'll give it some time, and hopefully the storylines and writing will improve.

The more we find out about these characters, the more I love them. Each episode has something new, and this one tells us a lot about why Sass is the way he is. I really appreciate the way the characters help each other grow and fulfill some of their dreams. I did not see that happening with the U. K. version, so that may be why I actually prefer the American version (which I did not expect). The music by Cat Stevens was the perfect backdrop for the storytelling, and seeing the father/son dynamic was very moving. I have to admit that I have tears every time I watch this episode (which I have many times).
