Live Recap: 35 Thoughts I Had While Watching “The Big Leap” Episode 1 On Hulu

Thanks to Hulu, ’cause a b*xch don’t even have regular tv channels anymore, I legit live on streaming apps now, I got to watch episode 1 of The Big Leap and I am super excited to share my initial thoughts via this live recap.

The Big Leap is a modern tale about second chances and chasing one’s dreams. It revolves around a group of diverse, down-on-their-luck characters attempting to change their lives by participating in a potentially life-ruining reality dance show that builds to a live production of “Swan Lake.”

4. Wow! Did her mom just imply that she’s too fat for sugar?
5. Ahhhh it’s the mom from The Fosters!!! The white mom.
6. Awwww there’s a mom that’s an influencer, well trying to be, who used to dance?
7. Lawd this man and his issues! They tryna cycle and he using them as therapy. I just can’t! 
8. I love that we get to see jobs like a lyft driver and an Instacart shopper.
9. I didn’t realize this was about the arts and now I’m so excited! 
10. It’s like the Sing movie, but in series form and about dance! For adults.
11. I love this already!

13. And she was pregnant and depressed! Sounds oh too familiar.
14. Omg I love this show so much! I miss watching people dance.
15. Yes to them showing a plus size woman dancing! Thank you! I also saw another plus size dancer on the flyer! This makes me so happy. This is the diversity we need on TV.
16. That head flip was sick!
17. Awww Spider-Man made it through. 
18. Ok wait … so these people really are amateurs. Dang.
19. Not this pole dancer making it in. 
20. Oh shit! Sis almost bust her damn face. But you just know she’ll be back.
21. So her mom thinks she’s fat but keeps giving her kid sweets??? Make it make sense sis.
22. This touches on depression and I totally appreciate that.
23. He seriously asked to tap her foot! Cause you know men need consent for everything now. I’m not complaining though, I’m happy they’re showing what asking for consent looks like.
24. The worse intern ever!
25. Not him saying he gotta see his kid and then telling someone else to fix it. Yeah, that’s how you parent sir. Sure. 
26. I haven’t been touched by a man in like a year to sis, it’s ok, I feel you.
27. I hope they make them a couple!!!
28. I’ve always wanted to randomly dance in public because of shows like this. 
29. He’s so pretty! Can I get one of those! 
30. This body convo is great. 
31. In the trailer I thought he was being an ass when he said she’s pretty, but he really meant it. And now my heart … it hurts. Help!
32. Well damn!! THIS is why this man reputation is trash now huh! Lawd.
33. Oh shit! She went to the tech guys to find out if her husband was watching porn!! Not this store looking like an Apple store though. Ha. 
34. I love it! Black strong man reminding a plus size woman that she’s not “too big”. I wanna cry for her. For me. For us!
35. UGH! WTF! Why is he always an asshole!?!
