I am tired of TP and his poor excuses for quality scripts and storylines. Now don't get wrong: I applaud this man's hustle and his come up, but his writing is atrocious and some of the direction he chooses to go in is only an attempt to draw in people of color so we can say "Well, at least Tyler Perry puts people of color in primetime!"
This show is HORRIBLE. I watched the first two episodes and couldn't stomach any more. I am not a prude but the unnecessary sex scenes, the unnecessary profanity at every turn and the unnecessary twists and turns was ridiculously bad. From the gate there were 5 different issues going on and this was on the very first episode! No build up, no history of characters, no substance.
Please TP, just stick to mindless Madea movies and leave the serious dialogue and dramas to writers and directors who actually care to take the time to bring about real drama with real actors who offer real talent. Take some time to study shows like Queen Sugar, How To Get Away With Murder and Scandal. These are shows that are not perfect, but they are quality programming with great storylines and great actors who care enough about their craft not to throw together a show just because they can.
It's great that TP has the money and power to do what he does, but it's so sad that he won't grow beyond where he is to bring us quality television. No wonder this is on BET. And as a black woman, I am disappointed that this is even considered 'Entertainment.'
