About

"Decades of small-town scandal as comfort television"

A long-running daytime soap set in the fictional town of Pine Valley, following the tangled loves, betrayals, and scandals of its residents across decades. It's a comfort-watch in the classic soap mold: melodramatic, unhurried, and built around recurring faces you grow attached to over years rather than episodes. The appeal isn't tight plotting but immersion, a sprawling community whose ups and downs unfold at a leisurely, often theatrical pace. Newcomers should expect broad performances and old-school pacing rather than modern prestige-drama polish.

Watch it for

the sprawling, decades-deep sense of a fictional community you can settle into.

Maybe skip if

you need tight pacing or modern production values rather than classic soap-opera rhythms.
