Acutally, I've read a few reviews that support Soul Food far more that Resurrection Blvd. Better writing, producing, etc. I thought the season opener was pretty good. It is a soap-opera, like Sopranos, more than a mini-movie each week. As such, it's one of the better soap-opera's I've seen. I still love Damon, and I did think Max was out of line for having attitude when Terri wanted to go back to work. I would be encouraging Terri to work in order to maintain a stable financial base for the family. Terri was wonderful during this episode. Lem's affection for Bird was heartwarming, although any woman with a UTI has probably also peed on herself before, so that wasn't that big of a deal--I thought she was hemorraging at first or something. That little boy's head is still too big!
