La otra chica negra

The story was good up until the last two episodes which ruined the entire storyline for me. The first eight episodes were good and ended with a twist that had me wanting to see where the main story was headed. Once I saw the main twist and where things fell into place, I actually laughed out loud and almost turned off the TV before the episode ended.

I know the series is based off a book, so they had to follow the same storyline. This could have been so much better with a different ending. The author should have went a different route on what was causing all the mystery and suspense. If the show is renewed for a second season, I will definitely not watch it.

Very entertaining, and there was a lot of suspense. Every character was different, many layers. Actress 'Hazel' - great actress, deserve roles in theatres in blockbusters. I liked every other role too, hovewer white males was... kinda boring and not there. I liked the plot and I am glad we have an ending without cliffanger. My only regret - episodes are to short. I prefer 5x 50 minutes instead 10 x 20 minutes.

Show is fresh, original. I reccomend it to everybody. Taking 2 stars for episodes length and nose rings - I dont like to watch them on anybody. But earrings was so beautiful, every women had amazing earings. Costumes was also good.

Now I want to read the book that the series is based on. The acting and writing are great, and the twists and turns between the two main characters, Nella and Hazel, are excellent and will keep you guessing from episode to episode.

I don't usually binge watch, but the end of every episode was filled with such a cliff hanger that I felt compelled to watch the next episode. It even made me put down my knitting!

Hulu has produced some great original movies and series. I would encourage folks who are into suspense and drama to give this a try.

My only complaint is that the chemistry between Nella and her BF seem forced, if not non-existent, and also, her best friend is a little extreme. Both took me out of the "willing suspension of disbelief," but the show was otherwise worth my time.

I'll keep it real. During the first 10 or so minutes of the pilot, I wasn't really feeling this show. It felt too cliché in all the horror elements that Stranger Things did 10x better.

But then I kept watching. And I. Couldn't. Stop. I'm truly blown away by the originality of these writers to construct episodes and plots I have yet to see in TV. If the comparison does justice, it's like Get Out mixed with a little bit of Us. I laughed. I cried. I mmmhmm'd. It's an unapologetic show that gracefully covers race relations without being over-direct about it.

My only complaint is toward the end, in which the plot twists came at the cost of some logically unsound events. Had these latter story elements been as pristine as the surprises, I might've leaned toward a 10. The acting of the main characters are perfect; some of the lesser seen characters felt a little kiddish. I also felt like the backstory we got of (you know who) felt unfinished and rushed. You can't possibly do a backstory justice in just one episode and a few cheesy flashbacks.

Overall amazing. Will definitely watch it again once I start to forget the plot a little. Truly worth (most) every minute.

I have to be honest and say that the first episode did not really blow me over. I am one of those people who want to know in what direction a series is going, before investing time in what in the end could turn out to be a disappointment. And "The Other Black Girl" is one of those series that you cannot judge by just one episode (as compared to more mainstream series).

But I'm so glad a continued watching and saw the multi-layers of this cross between "The Devil wears Prada", "Get Out" and "Rosemary's Baby".

A wonderful series, great acting, many twists and a thoughtful social commentary without trying to push it in your face.
