Debuting on February 27 and running for most of next week, ABC’s miniseries When We Rise is an ambitious and ultimately too dense effort that seemingly forgot that less is often more.

[C19fan]

No thanks.

[headstamp 2]

dense as in stupid

[AU72]

Thanks for the warning. I’ll switch to a re-run of Love It or List It!

[bk1000]

Note to “gay” America: most of us don’t care and we wish you’d STFU!

[Sans-Culotte]

I think there’s Honey Boo-Boo marathon running at that time and a documentary about Hitler on the AHC channel, so I guess I’ll have to miss this.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Anyone else get weary of the entertainment industry shoving homosexuality, global warming, illegal immigration rights, etc down our throats??? Doesn’t it get tiresome for yet another liberal cause to be presented??

I won’t watch this. I need to rearrange my sock drawer that night.......

[catbertz]

I predict that they will announce fabulous ratings! The truth will be hidden in a closet somewhere in Hollywood.

[aimhigh]

gAyBC can't have a show without turning it into a homo-promo.

Along with Williams, Guy Pierce, Mary-Louise Parker, Rosie O’Donnell, David Hyde Pierce, T.R. Knight, Scandal‘s Matthew Del Negro, Whoopi Goldberg and Rachel Griffiths also star in the event series.

ANYTHING with Rosie and Whoopi is UNWATCHABLE!

To be followed by the sequel: “When We Fall.”

The Decades Channel will have a binge of
celebrity Bowling from 1969

“‘When We Rise’ Review: ABC’s Ambitious LGBTQ Rights Miniseries Too Dense”

Appropriately enough, the review itself is impenetrably dense, as in unreadable due to excess lengthiness and a large majority of words strung together in a meaningless fashion.

[Bob434]

got to indoctrinate the gullible young folks - the new generations- got to make them think everything is rainbows and puppies dogs when it comes to the abomination called homosexuality

[redangus]

Thanks heavens for end of the season college basketball games and conference tourneys.

[Boogieman]

Netflix has reruns of Bob Ross painting happy little trees :)

[Dilbert San Diego]

I always wonder when exactly it became cool to be gay.

Its one thing to tolerate homosexuality but another to positively affirm and celebrate it.

And what’s with liberal young women bragging about having gay friends??? Is that some mark of prestige now, that you have gay friends????

I was talking to someone recently and they were stunned, when I said I had never known anybody openly gay.

I may well have known or worked with gay people. If so they were not “out” , or were not “out” to me.

[Bob434]

[[Is that some mark of prestige now, that you have gay friends????]]

Seems to be- apparently they think they aren’t ‘tolerant’ unless they have gay friends

[longtermmemmory]

this is a 1-1.5% sex fetish being portrayed as a larger portion of the population than reality.

In an era of cord cutting and network desperation (especially to Disney who owns abc) this show should have been a guaranteed ratings non starter.

the really insane part is any advertiser that would be associated with this manure.

[T-Bone Texan]

There was a pro-homo show a year or 2 ago, called “Looking” IIRC.

It glamorized turd burgling butt piracy, and the 25 seconds I saw shocked me.

I did not know they were allowed to discuss stuff like being anally penetrated on network TV.

America said Do Not Want.

[ealgeone]

A series of shows aimed at 0.5% of the population. Amazing.
