#HyperionBay s1e3 (1998) - 8/10
Trudy buys a computer!
1️⃣ Charming episode, written by #BernardLechowick (#KnotsLanding, #Homefront).
2️⃣ Part of the fun is seeing characters from 1998 talk, at length, about the advent of the home computer. As such, this episode is a fascinating time capsule. And, it must be said, its observations are largely accurate; prophetic.

#HyperionBay s1e2 (1998) - 8/10
1️⃣ Second episode turns the heat up in the main storylines. Trudy makes her play for Dennis (using cookies!) and the family learns that Nick and Amy are separating (at their anniversary party!).
2️⃣ Most of the conflict feels forced. Everyone is so nice most of the time, that individuals like Jennifer or Nick feel somewhat out-of-character when they start picking petty fights with someone close to them.

Was seriously smitten with #SydneyPenny #ChristinaMoore AND #CassidyRae! Later, they added #CarmenElectra! That did not help my poor ❤️! 😜 #90sTV

#HyperionBay s1e1 (1998) - 8/10
1️⃣ Slow-moving pilot. Light on plot, but heavy on character and character conflict.
2️⃣ It wastes no time getting to the core of the show. Scene 1 introduces #MarkPaulGosselaar and tells us he has returned to his home town after a long period, with his new lady (#SydneyPenny) in tow. Scene 2 is where they meet his high-school crush (#CassidyRae) and her Neanderthal husband. It works. You are pulled in, and you want to see how it all plays out.
