Beyond Salem ended after it's 5 episode run, there has been commentary each day, some of us plan on watching it, when we can/if we can get Peacock. But, once all 5 episodes have been viewed.....what is your overall thoughts on the entire show/story?
Overall, I enjoyed the different take, especially Chad whose demeanor was so different, he was enjoying himself and the storyline so much, and it showed. I loved the humor, seeing Shane, so glad the Sonny recast went so well. The search for the missing gemstones sort of pulled it all together. Most of the various locations were done well, loved the stock footage of the cities, etc.
However, the Miami segment did not go over well for me. Paulina was on wayyy too much, yakked or reacted constantly, while everyone else just watched. The "Michelle" in the "White" house was overused, stretched out, & not at all humorous. Leo & his puns caused some laughs, but again, overdone, but Greg Rickaart is such fun to watch overplaying Leo. LOL
Loved Tony/Anna plus John/Marlena in the bidding war for the necklace (Anna overpaid, by far), but interesting to know she has that much money to use as a "gift" to Austin & Carrie. The Salem money tree sure has been fruitful!
Ciara pretending to be Princess Greta was a fail.....(the princess would have been a lot older, having been born before Prince Philip died, and Princess Gina got recruited by Stefano - which was early 80s) The "sex party" was a bit "out there", but loved the Faversham family being remembered. but the "drag" contest was a triple hoot, for sure!.
And the ending was a twist, , and then some, with history being remembered, referred to, Von Leuschner, Von Omberg, Faversham, & even Drew Donovan! All the jewels got recovered, despite Leo's deception, which ended up saving many lives. Regular Days needs some of that humor.
