Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

Absolutely brilliant

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Black women are portrayed as victims and weak? Is this really the 'message' you want to send to young black girls? (really) I watched about 5 episodes of season 1...and could NOT get through the rest. The main character, Kara, is terrible...she is supposedly a professional, successful woman(I don't believe she got her job), but she's dumb, terribly dumb...and so desperate. When the two black women started being desperate over the husband (who's a loser by any normal woman's standard). This is when I stopped watching. I get it, this is supposed to be about a black woman's journey...and I just find it disturbing that ANY attractive, successful woman would behave as these women do (I know they do, and its pathetic). Past low class. And this message of all the good guys are taken is pure bullshit (and if its the black men--dump them! and try another color...that's what I'd like to see a black woman with a white man), and lets have sex like men do...because that makes it better? No it doesn't...it makes you a whore (with a lot of baby daddies). IDK...I found it pathetic, the way black women are portrayed on this program, maybe it holds truth...IDK, but all you're doing is perpetuating the behavior and stereo-type of black women being incredibly stupid and desperate...likes she's not good enough to get her own guy, she blew off the only good one who was attracted to her(just dumb) Is this really the standard you want young black girls to live up to? I found the program unbelievable...and the characters irritating to watch. Perpetuating acceptance of stereo-type that black women are stupid and desperate, black men expect to have sex with as many women as they can, with the women accepting it. Basically complete losers, yet acceptable and condoned behavior(LOL)...and did I say incredibly desperate, stupid black women?

Let me start by saying that I hate that they keep casting Gabrielle Union in these cliché weak woman roles. She's a much better actress then that and to keep putting her in things where she's always having to be the beta and crushed by the far dumber male counterparts is just wrong! That is the main problem with this show, it could have been an amazing show if everyone acted like they weren't 13 and didn't make the kind of mistakes you expect to see in high school. Instead you have a show that was essentially made with teenage drama in mind for grown adults in their 30's-40s and it simply doesn't work. I've seen these actors in all kinds of different settings and they are really good so to see them in a show this poorly written is just soul crushing. 6/10 only because despite the writers attempts to make this mindless dribble good actors are still good actors.

This show has such a horrible concept when it comes to the adultery part of things. I have lost most of my respect for BET over the last 10 years because they fail to make shows that don't promote evil. I don't understand why Sunday nights BET wants to air a bunch of gospel music and church type stuff, but the rest of the week they push nothing but behavior that God is against. Only BET feeds black people this garbage and we eat it right up.Caucasian channels, filipino channels, the Japanese channels...none of these channels do this. Only BET capitalizes on the ignorance of our people. Why can't this show be about Gabrielle Union doing all the career things she has going on in the show, but instead of sleeping with married men, she embarks on a journey to find God and serve him. Women that are like her refuse to serve God, so he refuses to send them a mate that he had planned for them.BET is selling us out, and black people never notice it. Especially this young generation.

Thought the acting was horrible, the opening scene was almost laughable. Couldn't stomach much else after he was being hosed down. The acting was way over the top with different actors and the same old same old script. Gabrielle can do so much better and if it were on another station and not BET, it would probably be canceled after last nights showing. Some of these shows have such horrible, melodramatic acting that I don't waste my time to watch many of them. And this one, like some of the others on the air, makes you wonder if these African Americans are just taking any role thrown at them. Was this a play before turning it into a movie? It had that feel IMO.
