Beyond the Gates

Congratulation to CBS, BTG cast and crew! From the opening moments of this visually delicious soap, I was hooked! Beautifully cast with some of the most gorgeous women and handsome men in the business. In such a short time, I was drawn in with interesting storylines that appear fresh, original, and mysterious. Cheers to the stunning interior design and look of the sets. Not only are they modern, well lit, warm and cozy, but add a dose of visual reality that other older soaps can't offer. Kudos to hair, make up, and costume design bringing each character their own individuality. A perfect guilty pleasure for these crazy times! Cheers and have fun watching BTG!!

Unlike other genres, soap operas, serials or daytime dramas need time to progress and evolve.i have high hopes for this series. The production value is first rate. There are companies putting in a lot on their investment and I hope it works out. Soap veteran Tamara Tunie was perfectly cast to play the Dupree matriarch and I could watch her in anything. Here she gets the respect and due of an actress of her caliber. Clifton Davis was better known for his sitcom roles is also brilliantly cast as the Dupree patriarch. Karla Mosley is also a soap veteran too. Hopefully the show will last.its nice to see daytime drama again. The Atlanta based soap is going all out.

This is fresh and new. The writing is excellent and it gives a feel of 90's soap. The cast is great and the first week bright so many questions that I need answered. This is how I know I'm hooked. Others want to bad mouth Beyond The Gates, but they are simply scared of the competition. For years African Americans have watched soaps and see very little representation. Now we have a choice and we don't have to watch a soap that doesn't respect the viewers. I want to watch a show where I can see myself and not once a week. Bravo CBS, bravo Michele Val Jean, bravo NAACP. I am do excited to see the future of this soap!!!!

I love all the story lines but I don't think the gay couple has any chemistry. Everyone else is extremely believable but these two just don't cut it. It's like they don't even like each other, no matter what the lines are. It really is uncomfortable watching them. Not sure if they are bad actors, or just bad together. Very clever show. It's nice to see a new soap opera and not a new reality show. It didn't take long at all to get to know the characters and there story lines. That shows great writing. I recognize a few from general hospital, past and present. It's nice to have something new to watch. I look forward to it every day.

Love this soap and I've been watching soaps for a while. New and different stories. Washington DC surrounding gated communities are definitely like this now. I love the styling, the hair, makeup and the writing. It's very us! And the drama is on point too, can't wait for the next episode. The other soaps on are super boring in comparison. It's no wonder the ratings for the other soaps are in the toilet. However, Beyond the Gates is bringing soaps back. Messed up weddings, cheating husbands, long lost children is classic soaps but other storylines ground it in 2025 with the use of social media.
