Government Cheese is an offbeat comedy with compelling characters, stunning 1960s-inspired visuals, and a relatable yet surreal story of resilience.

Anita strutting her stuff! 💃🏿. I really love the Dupree family scenes 🥰.. just hanging out , supporting each other ❤️.. Feels so natural 🥰 #BeyondtheGates

I ❤️ Vernon and Anita! #BeyondTheGates

everything sucks. the only thing that can fix it is filthy sprina fic, i fear 😭

I love that the BTG writers are apparently allowed to be on social media and at least talk about the eps they wrote, and they're super proud of what they're putting out - as they absolutely should be. That other show got everyone on a gag order to safeguard legit garbage day in and day out 🤣

Love that #BTG is not under the delusion that they're Daytime Glee. Yes, they have talented musicians but actually they have compelling and propulsive STORY and that's what drives the episodes forward and ensures the viewer never gets bored.

Dani: Messy Bill: Messy Leslie: Psychotic & Messy I dreamed of days like this. #BTG #BeyondTheGates

now all the marauders about to look racist as hell 🫣 also Snape is literally one of the few characters who is supposed to be ugly, pale and sour milk white.

Race-swapping the white nazi incel who spent his whole life creepily obsessed with a white girl, then bullied her kid, is just.... pls this is horrendous. Fuck Severus Snape smh.

legitimately a mess on multiple levels. he about to play a character whose main character motivation is a lifelong (fairly disturbing) obsession with a white girl who just wasn't that into him? 😬🥴

your YA counterparts initiate 3-somes, start businesses, claim their birthrights, murk & terrorise ppl, get to be spies🙄 ETC. you... you get to talk to/about a 🏈, watch locals fawn over him & NOTHING ELSE. & we're meant to celebrate this for Trina⁉️ #TrinasVoiceMatters #GH

How can you be a Trina fan and eat this non sense ??? I don't get it ! I'm starting to think that the reason for this "love story" is to diminish her, elevate a blk man at the expense of the popular blk woman. She's unrecognizable, nothing more than a sidekick now. I hate it! #TrinasVoiceMatters #GH

I never get tired of Dani’s digs at Hayley, but she also had some words of wisdom today. “The fairy tale never tells you how Prince Charming can become a real SOB once that ring is on your finger.” #BeyondTheGates #BTG

But I've been told that this IS Trina's story, and that I should be celebrating her serving as wallpaper for Kai to move around the canvas all while she's just present as a silent, pretty doll. We had many problems for Trina in her previous pair but this kind of b.s. was not it.

For a Spencer recast I want an actor who gives dark Cassadine prince energy. I envision a tall guy w/ dark features who looks like he broods for a living. That way the scenes where he's loving & carefree w/Trina have greater impact. Of course, strong chem with Taby is a must #Sprina #recastspencer

#BeyondTheGates really *gets* it. THIS IS A SOAP🫧, and every single character on canvas is allowed to be a SOAP character (even you, Derek)! It's so refreshing! There are no props. No perfect paragons. No pieces of set furniture. No mammies or magical negroes. Even Shanice gets to be a character.

Watching #BTG having their YA saying "sus" and referencing the shaderoom, etc, reminded me why I keep saying these soaps gotta stop recycling these writers and get/add some new people in the rooms. Get with the times.

Imagine being Keesha and your first everything gets into an accident. He wakes up and treats you like crap. Doesn't want you but chases your friend. And you get the pleasure of seeing them fall in love. Tragic. Watching it back is tough. He never apologized.

Does Western Europe just get the godforsaken urge to invade Russia every 75-100 years, only to get their asses beat every single time? And this time the Russians have hypersonic nuclear warheads, so like... this is a super, super bad idea all around, guys, lol.

Watching #SuitsLA and it's not bad. Took a bit of getting used to and man, Gabriel Macht is a tough act to follow. Love Erica and most of the characters. I kept thinking that Eddie was [redacted] but I wasn't sure and then at the end it was a bit confusing and now I'm 😭

They're going to be so powerful when they're on the same side being awesome, gorgeous bad bitches together in like season five of the show 😍

Love a sins of the father storyline in which it's a young woman scheming and striving for revenge and her birthright - I have no choice but to stan Eva. #BeyondTheGates

🎶 Memories Light the corners of my mind Misty water-colored memories Of the way we were 🎶 -Barbra Streisand I miss my smiling babies.

Trina’s been borderline lobotomized to make her blindly oblivious to Joss' constant dishonesty + easily impressed by everything from soft serve ice-cream to 🎻 having an Italian mother to a walking 🏈. I miss when she was allowed to be... *more* - she feels like a shadow 🥴😭 #TrinaDeservesBetter

FOREVER premieres MAY 8, 2025 on Netflix🧡

I love how the show allows characters to have critical thinking skills. I hate when they get dumbed down for a plot. I’m glad Kat is suspicious of Eva . Also love how Eva is questioning “Leslie” now. #BeyondTheGates

But when we point out that pandering, trashy hollow writing, and tokenism not only do NOT work but are offensively transparent to most viewers, we're mean and unsupportive and a host of other nonsense 🫠 Demand better and quit rewarding mediocrity, and maybe one day that awful show will deliver.

So that 🏥 show throwing the Black characters in that promo during #BeyondtheGates debut week didn't work, huh? Well...

I want to see her everywhere ! Her time is coming 🙏🏾 #TabyTuesday #TeamTaby #TabyanaAli

If you haven’t done so yet can you please give #BeyondTheGates some positive reviews. I seen some hateful comments and we want to drown out the BS! Let’s show Love & constructive feedback. 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾

The first is just out and out platonic chemistry. Jens and Taby's friendship is lovely and it shines through in their scenes. But they do not have a single drop of sexual, sensual or romantic chemistry. Jequan and Taby may have a bit more but I think that's bc of a certain vibe/energy he brings. 🤷🏿‍♀️

The difference in photos is glaring. Left picture gives highschool photo. And the one on the right gives young adults in their early 20's.

Don't fret. Trina will show up at some point this week to talk to Kai or talk about Kai to someone else. It will be scintillating material as per 🙄

🥳 Happy #TabyTuesday, everyone! #TabyanaAli

Make sure you all are also rating #BeyondTheGates #BTG on Google!

Y'all the show is being review bombed. Make sure to rate it five stars on Google and ten on rotten tomatoes.

Dolly Parton’s husband of nearly 60 years, Carl Dean, has died at the age of 82.

The mouse and most of Hollywood couldn't wait to kkkowtow huh?

Someone pls do let me know when my girl Trina has more to do story-wise than caretaking or interacting with a barely sentient 🏈 so I can unmute the character name 🙏🏾😭💔

Taby living her best life and looking fabulous. The coat is everything. #TabyanaAli
