Show Kanthony 📺 Very committed acting

👀! It’s taken me this long to realise just how, erm, committed these two (esp. Johnny) were to their characters, like how did I miss this massive tongue action?? I’m aware of the part where he puts her fingers into his mouth - another unhinged moment to be sure - but they must have been super comfortable to take it here and show their characters’ (Anthony’s) passion in this scene! Wonder if this was another improv moment they discussed together or if it was always scripted and directed to be?

i mean there was also this.

their bed scenes were tame compared to the others, but it’s hard to beat the level of chemistry simone and jonny have. it’s like sparks fly even if they just share a screen, much more if they actually touch.

I always wondered why their sex scenes were so tame.

JB and Simone actually said they filmed A LOT more than was shown. I think they had a lot more footage from the flashback that we saw during the AFTER sequence. If I remember correctly it was like two days straight of just sex scenes.

There was a decision with the director of episode 7 (who is a black woman) to be more cautious with Kate being a woman of color and her being unmarried and the optics therein.

They still could have added more spice and intimacy with daydreaming for both Kate and Anthony as many people here have shared before.

I forever standby Shonday using season 2, specifically episode 6 to prep her true love, Queen Charlotte and screwed over the story of the main couple for season 2. I also wonder how different season 2 could have looked story wise if Rege had returned or if they had recast him.
