All the Queen's Men

Very late to the party but ummm... The drama was what it was, drama. And like a "messy" person, I'm here for the drama. I have not read the book this story is based on but I pray the reading is nothing like the screen watch.

The dancing and gyrating was OK. The acting was meh and the writing was distasteful. Overall, I was entertained in some way because, I watched it.

Scenarios were unrealistic even for fiction. The fake gangsta stuff, the STUNT DOUBLES...., the raggedy cheap apartments the dancers "getting money" lived in. Them sexing outside the club for money and their bag were supposed to be BIG working for Madam???!!! It just didn't add up,.

Yeah umm idk but, ok seems to be a hit so carry on, I guess.

Actually, the beautiful lead actor - Eva M, the very talented director Kim F, and the gorgeous writer Christian K. Got my attention and I knew it was going to be great!!! I was really surprised to see that TP allowed some other very talented people to help with this production. I signed in to rate just because @criticsVoicevideo was way too serious. It is only fiction and exceptional acting. I am very much enjoying what I have seen so far. I will seek counseling after the watching the last episode...lmao! I'm sure you watched it until the end. Great show so far to whomever assisted with getting this production to an audience!

I really tried with this show. The repeating if the same lines over and over, making the characters seem stupid is sooo hard to watch. Unfortunately this is the norm in Tyler Perry movies. Blue's character is not believable at all. The only characters and acting that regularly carry the show are the main dancers and their choreography on stage is good. I can't understand why the writer's of Tyler Perry's shows get the same feedback about the acting, the repeated lines ( like they are unaware of what normal conversations sound like) and bad acting hasn't encouraged them to improve their craft over the years... But all of these shows are the same. I just can't watch without fast forwarding to the dancers... The rest of this show is painful 😖😣

I like the crazy, unrealistic, and sometimes stupid, storylines.

And I like Eva (Pigford) Marcille in general since Idol.

That's really it.

Also, Rashan Ali (Miss Tandy) is ok as a villain but the character is written badly. Her lines repeat one word responses like everybody else but one second she's tough, the next she runs like a coward. She should challenge Madam and do with subtlety. But she's obvious. Like most of the actors, including Marcille, the acting is wasted on the character.

But somehow the show is interesting by being stupidly dumb with sex appeal.

And I love to enjoy this enjoy this disaster by Tyler Perry.

So does it really matter?

The show was watchable the first 4 episodes of season 1. However, as soon as Tyler Perry got involved the story line, acting and plot became over the top and unrealistic. The acting is bad but this woman Madam character is ridiculous. She takes on white supremist, police, gangs, cartels politicians, and judges all from the comforts from her lowly little strip club and gets away with it. Really? All of the men in this show are emasculated ie her house servant. He talks like he's in a trance, just ridiculous. The only reason it gets above 5 stars is because of the eye candy that appeals to women.
