Die Prouds: Lauter und trauter

I really tried to give it a chance and wanted to enjoy it. This reboot just ain't it.

This show has lost all authenticity present in the original. The reboot is... odd, and doesn't seem to know who it's audience is. I enjoyed the first couple of episodes, but the more I watch, the more "cringe" and "fake" it seems, and I'm a pretty progressive person. Unfortunately, I'm done giving it a chance.

As someone who has never watched the original, I was going into this blind, and must I say, I was quite disappointed as a whole. While yes, the show has potential, it was just executed TERRIBLY.

The show sets on good topics, but the execution of the topics were just horrible. They show LGBT+ as stereotypical greedy/rude people almost immediately with the characters Michael and (I don't even know if he has a name) but Make-up boy, who reminds me of James Charles. The characters overall are generally dislikable with no real reason to like them. Penny's friends are honestly just fake. They try to make it more modern and use 'modern' slang that I wouldn't even consider modern as not much people even use them anymore. The slang consists of "bae" and other things that even I wouldn't use as of current.

My sister put this on without me even knowing what it was, the amount of cringe I had to endure was insane. I decided to look up the series and found that it had a mainly negative view, which is reasonable and deserved. While I will say that it is okay to watch if you are severally bored, the cringe is just terrible and you'll find yourself wanting to gauge your eyes out more than sit and watch.

This reboot is not it. First starting with the theme song, just no. The plots are horrible and cringy. Like seriously weird. I really tried giving this a chance but it's a no for me. I absolutely adored the original and though I didn't expect a reboot to be like the original, I thought it would have been better. That was the expectation but this is straight up weird.

This show is just another case of using entertainment to push agendas. This show was never about all that. It use to be focused on Black family and something to be proud of. This makes us look bad and is DEFINITELY not something myself or my kids will be watching. Love this talent lineup, it's ashame it's going to waste.

Do yourself a favor and watch something that actually depicts black people as being intelligent, having values, mom and dad but competing against each other, etc. Disney is becoming more and more trashy. I don't know who told Disney they need to join the indoctrination movement but we are all good deciding for ourselves what's right and wrong.

I was saddened by how they allowed this show to devolve into a political statement. Content is very poorly written. Acting (voice overs) is even worse. It seems they tried to resort to very one-sided political views to gloss over boring storylines, not funny scenes, and overall (again) very poor content. Please just entertain us with good writing and good humor. Characters appear shallow and generic in so many ways. It is hard not to compare it to the previous iteration which was flowing and so humorous. It just carried you along and made your day better. This version is so filled with meandering dialogue and incomprehensible plots that I feel lost and bored after watching it. In conclusion, very sad.
