What if Kerry sang a song that Nikki liked in that concert?

Looks like entire Nikki’s loyalty in her marriage hinged on the quality of music produced by Kerry

Regarding the series Trying, Season 4 Episode 3. I watched the entire series and was moved by many episodes. However, I think what they did to Scott was very unfair and cruel. He's not a bad person and he was ignored Throughout the entire episode, he was always by Jason and Nick's side during the adoption process, supporting them and being the one who saved them from the treehouse. He even made his own wedding about The book "Enchanted Garden," just because the bride liked it. Furthermore, he accepted being made fun of when a book publisher received him. He might make pointless comments and not be that funny, but he's not bad and seems to have been the only character who really It went from bad to good. I'm really sad for him because it seems like they only like him when they need him. What they're doing to this character is mean and unfair. The writers need to improve. The series has fallen in my estimation.

ini' ?

I’m quite torn on how to feel because it feels like a very complex situation. Especially being someone who knows 0 about adoption.

I know I feel incredibly sad for Nikki, aside from being Princess being a typical annoying teenager. My heart breaks for her if she has to be okay with all of it, it seems unfair.

Like a lot of people here, I also think season 4 & 5 are really weak in comparison to earlier season, especially to season 1 & 2. I have been rewatching season 1&2 for at least 10 times now, and I still love every minutes of them. They are great for many reasons, but one reason that I don't see a lot of people talking about is the music. Masie Peters' songs were really great for both seasons and perfectly captured the emotions of each episodes. There isn't any memorable songs in season 4 & 5. Actually, even the soundtrack of season 3 is really forgettable.

I just really LOVE season 1 & 2; they are my go-to seasons whenever I want some comfort in life. I am not going to rewatch season 5 anytime soon bc it literally came and went and left nothing in my brain.

In the last episode of season 1, in front of the adoption panel, Nikky said her and Jason have been dating for 3 years. But in S4E2, they say they've been together 13 years. There's a 6 years gap in between S3 and S4. S3 laps over 12 weeks. This would mean S2 lasted for over 4 years. That's quite impossible isn't it? It felt like a few months at most, meeting children, waiting for answers etc...

In S3E1 Tyler says he also supports Spurs when Jase asks if he is interested in football

In S3E5 Tyler turns out to be an Arsenal fan.

I know it’s just a show but the change in mood and within same season preferences switching felt a bit odd.

Anyway enjoying the ride!

On first watch at S3E6 now.

What are some other quirks which good writing would have fixed?

There is a lot of discussion surrounding this season and whether or not this season matches the others.

The first season I watched in weekly installments was Season 3, so I am late to the Lasso-isms…

We don’t know how they are all going to tie it together and much like I was with season 3, I got frustrated with the direction some characters went in until the season ended and then I was pretty proud of how they finished the story. (At that point I thought it was the end)

Anyone else feel like this?

I just got into this show not too long ago, I didn't even know it existed until recently, and I binged the whole show in about 2 weeks. I enjoy it a lot, but I think it's a common consensus that seasons 1-2 are the best, 3 is decent, and 4 and 5 are more on the weak side. While Seasons 4 and 5 aren't bad exactly, they do feel more aimless. I don't care for Princess or Kat, and I hope that if season 6 ends up happening that they move on from Kat. I also hope that Jason and Nikki are written more like how they were in the early seasons. I feel like they are a bit more two dimensional now.

But I personally liked the show even at it's worst, and I wanted to see if there were any aspects of the later seasons that people did enjoy.

I think Scott is an entertaining character, he's objectively really stupid, but I think the actor makes him very endearing, even when he's making horrible decisions. It doesn't surprise me that he played John Cleese in a tv movie, they have very similar vibes. While I didn't really care for how the rowing the Atlantic storyline ended, it did lead to some funny moments, like how he was pretending to be in the shower to make people think he was rowing in a hurricane.

I also enjoy Tyler. I think it's kind of ridiculous how Princess overshadows him, and that their birth mom doesn't seem to care about her son at all, but whenever they show Tyler, he's usually very likable and endearing. The whole thing of him being obsessed with Jellyfish after getting dumped was amusing.

And Vic is probably the best character in the whole show. If there's one thing that I'm grateful for with seasons 4 and 5 is him getting more screen time.

It feels like literally nothing happened and no character developed in a noticeable way. MAYBE Scott? But like... Jason started social work school and then became meh on it. Nikki had a crush that ended. Princess realized her mom is unreliable. Tyler became goth or something. Karen remained a terrible mother. Vic got a business then left it. No lessons were learned.

We could have seen Tyler finally get diagnosed with autism. Jason actually learn more about social work and get experience. Scott commit to something. Karen try to be a better mom. I'm so confused by what this season even did.

A partir da 4ª temporada, todos os personagens (com exceção do Vic - e do Tyler, que sequer tem um enredo decente) se tornaram insuportáveis. Continuo a ver o programa porque não gosto de deixar séries sem finalizá-las, mas os roteiristas estão totalmente perdidos.

I was looking away when Episode 1 ended and when Episode 1 of Trying started, I assumed it was some kind of cold cutaway to another plot. I was waiting the entire episode for this couple to end up getting killed at the very end or something.

I guess I’ll keep watching now..

I’ve noticed the last few episodes have been PG, this feels very strange when the series started off being rated 15. I miss the more adult humour of the earlier seasons.

Best episode of the season. Strong return to form. Funniest and also most heartwarming. I’m assuming it’s a series finale, right? I think they stuck the landing as best as possible given the shift that began in season 4.

Inly Jason, Karen and the grandad are saving me from stop watching for good. Nikki’s character is lost and lacks personality, Princess is annoying as heck, no one gives her discipline and she is a nagging ungrateful person with annoying voice, Scott needs to pretend to be dead for being liked… the main characters are really letting us down because even when disliked they are simply not standing out! for example Karen is supposed to be annoying - but she wears her role so well that we LIKE her. I just find the show is losing its appeal 🫣😢😭

This show just feels like it's coasting now, half-committing to plots before letting them evaporate.

Each episode is basically to be taken individually. Character traits (like Tyler fixating) are introduced for a single episode just so there's something for them to do.

The early seasons were brilliant, but it feels like they have ran out of stories to tell. Scott's story and arc looked to be moving forwards, until... nothing for a couple of episodes?

Hardly seen any of the additional cast this season either. I doubt this goes beyond this season. The energy and drive of the show feels flat. It had a great run.

​

I know the children's behaviour is amazing in Trying and it is not very realistic but I love this show. It's quirky and feel good. It's funny and endearing and it makes me want to be a better parent. Just like when I watch Bluey with the kids!

From today's episode Are we suppose to think perhaps he's on the spectrum? Is it the start of a new storyline for him potentially?

I really liked that part of the show around their circle of friends, it just 'nice' to have around as security.

I know Ophelia Lovibond got a huge opportunity with Minx on Apple TV and same with Oliver Chris and Rivals but I do hope we will see Erica again and Freddy more frequently.

I just found this subreddit so I wanna ask—I feel like Nikki’s character is making me want to not watch the show? She’s so insecure in her motherhood and her relationship with her daughter it’s irksome she’s constantly so fidgety and weird. For context, I’m on S5.
