Anyone watching Susan Sarandon’s new drama series, “Monarch”?

Susan is playing Naomi Judd

She’s playing Dottie Cantrell Roman.

The Judds were never a dynasty who were at the top and Country Royalty.

I'm not watching it but I did follow the casting news. It's weird Susan and the guy playing her husband are do far apart in gae - is it explained? (She's old enough to be his mother.) Also I don't get why the cast so few country singers and cast people who are jazz, show-tunes, and alt-rock, and stuff.

*so far apart in age.

And yeah I know I should actually watch the show. :/

He doesn’t look younger than her in the show.

Susan turns 76 in a couple of weeks; Trace Adkins is 60. She has aged very well.

The characters are the same age, or around the same age. Their real life ages are whatever.

She’s dead to me.

DL's fav Froy was in the early running to be on this show.

I heard it described as white Empire

R10 no one describes it as that.

R1 R11 is literal minded, has no imagination and apparently has never heard of prototypes

(^.^) ditto R2

R12 I do, but your statement is “I HEARD it described as white Empire”

You didn’t say it’s like a white Empire. No one said that to you.

Used to love her, but since she supported Trump, she's dead to me.

Very interesting

(but don't read if you don't wish to be spoiled)

Joshua Sasse is in the cast.

Anna Friel abandoned "Marcella" to do this crap??

Looks like it's trying to be derivative of Nashville and Succession. Hard pass.

Shushan Sharandon!

We weren’t charmed.

R20 Fail

I will never watch anything she is in ever again.

The reviews have been pretty savage so far.

I love it!

It’s actually fun

I liked it. But based on the reviews, I don't think investing any time would be wise.

I think I read that wp two scored 1.6 millions same day viewers.

Toe tapping to Lizzo. Love it!

Recorded it, watched half of it. Like Mafia Nashville. I look forward to the time when shows focus on the nice people who have crap done to them and their own flaws. Like regular Nashville. Liked Nashville. Monarch is Sopranos with a twang.

I actually enjoyed it. It’s been a while since we’ve had a good nighttime soap

This show is SO bad it’s almost good

Almost

I had to stop watching

How any of you can watch less support anything this turncoat has been in amazes me. She may not be directly responsible for Trump but the way she trashed Hillary in 2016. She is a cunt forever and I will never watch her again.

It’s not even that bad.

Susan Sarandon never literally supported Trump. She did support Bernie Sanders which probably pisses many of you off even more. Iirc she told Chris Hayes she was going to wait and see, in Clinton vs. Trump. She didn't support Clinton (mainly because she felt - not incorrectly - that Hillary was a warmonger). She endorsed Jill Stein.

The show sags like Sarandon's titties.

She basically told people to vote Trump if Sanders didn't get the nom.

[quote]“I think Bernie would probably encourage people [to vote Clinton], because he doesn’t have a lot of ego in this,” she said. “But I think a lot of people are, ‘Sorry, I just can’t bring myself to do that.’” As for herself, “I don’t know. I’m going to see what happens.”

[quote]“Really?” an incredulous Hayes asked.

[quote]“Some people feel Donald Trump will bring the revolution immediately,” she replied.

[quote]Hayes accused her of adopting “the Leninist model of ‘heighten the contradictions,’” and she happily agreed. Isn’t that dangerous, he wondered?

[quote]“If you think it’s pragmatic to shore up the status quo right now, then you’re not in touch with the status quo,” she said.

MAGA Trace Adkins and accelerationist Sarandon - a double whammy!

Honestly, Biden isn’t doing so great. But never Trump.

NEVER!!

SHE KILLED OUR QUEEN!!!

OUR GLORIOUS, GLORIOUS QUEEN!!

SHE TOLD THEM NOT TO VOTE FOR HER!!

IMAGINE--THE MOST QUALIFIED HUMAN IN THE HISTORY OF QUALIFIED HUMANS!!

SHE IS DEAD TO ME!! VILE TRASH!!! CUNT!!!

QUEEN-KILLER!!!

Shania Twain has an extremely odd speaking voice.

I thought so too, r41.

Sissy Spacek should be playing Sarandon’s role.

I wouldn't watch that traitorous old cunt unless she was on fire

It’s worth watching just for him

R45 who he

Who's the half gallon version of Chrissy Metz up in here?

I don't watch Susan Sarandon. Ever. Stopped bothering with her in 2015.

R46 him

linky stinky

Why was that taken down? Lmao there was nothing bad in it.

It's so bad that I actually love it. It's truly terrible.

R18, the beeb and itv etc pay NOTHING compared to American networks, even now as they’re shadows of what they once were. She’s also been trying to crack the states for 20 years. It makes sense that she’d jump at this.

R37 Nowhere in that exchange does she basically tell people to do that.

I lost total respect for this bitch when she was taped scolding yelling at and pointing a finger at respected hispanic legendary activist Delores Huerte during the 2016 election. I never watched anything she was in again.

I finished with her after she stabbed Hils in the back, and supported the Russian asset Jill Stein.

Isn’t this a flop?

The new Hilary Swank tv drama is better.

[quote] mainly because she felt - not incorrectly - that Hillary was a warmonger

Go fuck yourself.

R58 they have nothing in common. As usual, you compare two things that have nothing in common.

They have plenty in common: two fading stars in derivative, middlebrow, network dramas. But Hilary’s show gets the edge for featuring a sassy gay sidekick with a big basket.

And I don’t think I post often enough here to say anything “as usual.”

The shows have nothing in common. Casting two aging movie stars in tv isn’t new. And that doesn’t mean the shows are alike.

R59 Where is the lie?

What will Filipino twink Inigo do now that the show has been canceled? Since this was supposed to be his big Hollywood break.

Susan is involved with and gives money to many causes that are humanitarian, pro-labor, pro-human rights, etc. She's a true progressive and if she doesn't respect the self-aggrandizing, corrupt Clintons I have no problem with it.

Why does OP sound so weird? The whole post sounds like copy.
