Lets be clear; the show's arent great but knowing what he was putting out before, they are a vast improvement. The worst thing about the show is the acting as Im convinced he just hired a bunch of IG models but the pacing seems better as does the dialogue. My biggest problem with the OWN shows is that scenes would last 5 or more minutes and it would be repetitive dialogue dragging things out. Thats less of an issue here.

 

I think this show is better than Sistas. Its one of those, its so bad, its good. An absolute trainwreck which you can see from the gifs. Im finding it hilarious

YES.  And he would fill ENTIRE EPISODES with that [!@#$%^&*], to the point that an entire season could cover just thirty minutes in the characters' lives.  Even JER wasn't THAT slow, lol.

O...M...G....This show is off the chain crazy. When the First Lady hit herself in the head in the middle of her tantrum I spit out my tea in laughter. Well...at least she didn't use a taser on family member in this one.

 

And what is up with the creepy brother making odd comments to his sister that border on weird flirting.

 

I'm not sure what to make of the show in general. Is it horrible? Is it kitsch at its best? Is it some sort of weird accidental genius. I don't know, but I'm still watching.

 

We're still in the first 24 hours of these characters lives and so much s&%t has gone down in that time that it's mind boggling. I love how the family with kidnapped granddaughter has practically forgotten about her already...and it's just been HOURS. The grandmother just acts like this is all another Tuesday or something...cult breaks into your house, forcibly removes your granddaughter, your son is falsely accused of rape and now maybe murder, your ex-daughter-in-law HAS been murdered...and you're missing a knife in the kitchen, your husband loses his job, still no idea where your grandkid is...and the woman makes sandwiches with a shrug and a "Lord, help!"

 

If you're not watching, you should because this is soap on HEROIN.

I have BET+ so I decided to watch and my Gawd!  Another mess!  I now look forward to this show each week because its so bad it's funny as hell.  The plots/stories mean absolutely nothing to me.  The interaction of the characters is so wild and hilarious.  

 

Hopefully, Kron Moore (Veronica) will find other work because she has the goods.

Am only caught up; have binge-watched the first season and first-half of the second the past week, and damn... I am hooked. Ed Quinn and Kron Moore were perfectly cast. I'm just upset BET airs edited-language. I want it fully uncut.

 

However, the fact Tyler Perry is the most-created is the series' problem.

    • He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now. 
    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
    • Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime. 
    • Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.
    • French fan summary Rusty took over Simon's job at Lewis Trucking after Simon transferred to Lewis Oil's North Carolina office to live near Jessie and Calla. I doubt they would bother following up a story for offscreen characters eg marriage and a baby.
