Our Kind of People

The story line is clear , there is depth in the personalities and mixture of characters , the clash between the rich and the poor , can't wait to see the next episode .

I was excited for this series. The cast is great. The writing is HORRIBLE!!!

As a black American, the amount of forced "black" dialogue in the first scene along was absolutely cringe. When black people get the chance to tell stories, we don't have to ghetto it up for a larger audience. Black people are not a monolith but this show would have you believe that we all say words like lit and catch a case or say Miss Thang Thang...Modern shows like Power and Empire and Bel-Air and Atlanta, The Chi and even Grown-Ish allow for black folk to be all types of black in natural ways. This is high-end coonery. I mean, rose water? Coconut oil? Stop.

I understand wanting to make a show that showcases black excellence but this is an unnatural attempt at pandering and pushing a weird narrative to white audiences. We don't need to prove things to people. Let's make realistic shows unapologetically...

This show is a cross between Greenleaf, Revenge, and the Dynasty reboot; and all with a superb cast! From Yaya DeCosta (Chicago Med), Joe Morton (Scandal), Morris Chesnut (Rosewood, The Resident) and *countless* other familiar faces, this show makes you feel like all you already know the characters and it sucks you right in-after the pilot, which was sort of slow; get to episode two! I cannot wait to see how this show develops!!!

I think the reviewers that are giving 7-10 stars are relatives of some of the actors. How did Morris and Joe sign on to this!?They have a good plot but the execution is horrible. The lead actress is lacking and over sells her role. Get new writers and new acting coaches! This shouldn't even make it past Season 1 at this rate!!

Regardless of the color of the cast, all the back-stabbing made me feel like I was watching something from the late 70's or early 80's, like Dallas or Dynasty. I've always liked Joe Morton and thought Yaya Dacosta was good on Chicago Med. They deserve better.

By the way, writers, at least do your research. Somebody was asked a character she had lived in Boston and she answered, "The East Side." There's no such neighborhood. The closest name is the traditionally Italian "East Boston."
