I just saw it and thought Angela Basset did a good job with the directing. It was well put together and the acting was good.'

However Im upset that they called this thing Whitney when it wasnt about her. It would have been better titled Whitney and Bobby since it was exclusively about their relationship. Nothing about Whitney's childhood and how she became a star. I also hated how abruptely this thing ended. There was like a good 15+ years of her life left! If they were going to make this about Whitney and Bobby, dont stop just as problems star. Go through the ups and the downs and that includes their divorce.

I will say that at least Lifetime was able to use her music so it didnt end up the mess that Aaliyah's movie was

Whitney was doing drugs before Bobby and she got him into drugs and not the other way around? Did Bobby Brown consult on this film?

Them love scenes were pretty risque. I wasnt expecting to see Bobby's head between her legs and him pretty much nekkid. Remember Bobbi Kristina got all offended that AB didnt choose her to play Whitney. Did she really want to do those scenes against someone playing her daddy?

I still remember all the rumors about "Nippy" BITD.  Depending on what you heard or believed, she was a lesbian, a two-timer (Eddie Murphy AND Randall Cunningham) or an all-around ho.

I do think Robyn was Whitney's soulmate and the one holding her together as much as she could. You could tell in that Dateline interview how much Robyn still loved her and how much it stung to be cut out of Whitney's life when she was.

 

I don't think anyone knew Whitney the way Robyn did, and despite Cissy's (and others) objections, Whitney brought Robyn along before and after she experienced success. Probably because she trusted her deeply and knew no one would look out for her the same way. And really, we've already seen that no one else in Whitney's circle had the same kind of respect for her - especially her own damn family.

    • I've never found him as bad as some. I think he's always shined in scenes with Vernon, who should be his father. I also think he has great chemistry with Kat and Dani which I hope they tap into more over time. Dani/Martin feel like such a fun and believable Auntie/Nephew relationship.
    • I'm fighting for my life on another board for my husband Brandon and I'll do it here too lmao
    • I don't expect Lois to be the same person she was 25 years ago, but she's definitely lost a lot of what made Lois unique.  It's clear the show doesn't know how to write for her, and the sole purpose of Lois is to hide this Gio secret.  It's a shame she doesn't interact with more of the canvas.  It's a waste of Rena's talents. I like Brook Kerr most of the time.  She can be hit or miss.  I totally get what you are saying about her line readings too.  I honestly think the character really suffers being stuck in the Curtis pairing.  She's much better than Tanisha Harper's Jordan lol.
    • Friday and yesterday's episode is what daytime television should be. The other shows airing could take a page from yesterday's show.  I loved the rage, hurt and anger Nicole unleashed on Ted.  Daphnee should be up for an Emmy nom for these scenes.  It broke my heart to see how Dana had locked Eva out.  I do feel sorry for Eva.    I am still bumfuzzled as to why Leslie/Dana went to the DuPree's and asked them to accept Kat UNLESS Eva is really Kat's twin (and really Nicole and Ted's daughter that maybe they though they lost or an embryo Dana/Leslie stole??) I loved how Anita and Vernon both shot her down.    Ohhh and let me just say Friday and yesterday was the MOST fire I have seen Martin have since the show started.  Maybe Brandon Clayborn is coming into his own with the role finally.    
    • You've been seeing him all along. You just didn't know it was him, I guess.

    • Where to for Dana? She's pissed off the Duprees (most of the cast), alienated her daughter and will she be welcomed by the Have Nots at the diner? Maybe she can befriend Ashley and Derek and liven up their story.
    • Melissa Ordway announced she was moved to recurring back in November but is still credited with the contract cast members.
    • I think of Evan as a smarmy bast*rd. Maybe you'll like that description. You certainly have him pegged correctly since he is just a soldier following "Admiral" Iris's marching orders.
