Beauty in Black

The acting was bad enough to make me notice the wooden delivery. It was Temu Sopranos with the messy family and violence...but none of the chemistry, fluid dialogue or gripping storyline. None of the characters are likeable and I spent the whole show waiting for Kimmie to grow some balls...

Everyone sucks at communication...Kimmie and the old man...just never talk about important details...like he never tells her that he followed through on a promise he made...and she spends half of the show mad at him for not following through...and the other half accusing him of being a human trafficking ring leader but they never just sit and talk about it in full sentences...

Kimmie: "I know who you is!" 😠 Old Man: "What you mean?" 🤔 Kimmie: "Nothing." 😒

They'd have no plot if it wasn't for this type of incompetence and poor dialogue.

Tyler Perry has done it again. Another misogynistic view of Black women, another terrible series with bad acting and belittling story lines. Is it just greed? Is Tyler Perry trying to show the Hollywood elite that he has something meaningful to say? If so he has failed miserably. I must say that I used to look forward to new entertainment from Mr. Perry. Lately I just get more and more disappointed. The profanity, the nudity, the misogyny from the very beginning. I tried because it seemed it may get a little interesting. However,I just couldn't keep watching. Come on Mr. Perry, I know you can do better. We are so much more than pimps, strippers, hustlers, criminals and bad actors. Tell the stories of the Black folks I know, the nurses, the doctors, the honest entrepreneurs, the hardworking fathers and mothers who do all they can to protect and uplift their families. Their stories need to be told and can be interesting as well.

Beauty in Black If you're looking for drama that spills the tea in the messiest way possible, Beauty in Black delivers! This movie is packed with over-the-top, soap-opera-level drama that's both hilarious and absurd. It's the perfect watch for a lazy, boring day when you just want something fun and brainless to pass the time.

Don't expect anything highbrow-this is pure trash, and it knows it. The storyline is ridiculous, the characters make questionable choices at every turn, and that's exactly what makes it so entertaining. It's a guilty pleasure, for sure, and I loved every ridiculous minute of it!

If I could rate it with zero, I would, given how bad the series is. Terrible acting, poor dialogue, everything done in a completely amateurish way. If my wife hadn't been watching with me, I would have stopped right away... watching this series is pure masochism. It's awful and bad at the same time. Maybe the storyline could work on its own, but the whole package-bad acting, poorly cast roles, fake scenes-is terrible. For example, in one scene, a character calls someone who's driving around the city, then immediately calls another who's sitting and having coffee in broad daylight... such oversights, it's a disaster.

*sigh* I think what bothers me about some of TP's projects is the lack of creativity. He tends to put a lot of money into the scenery, the elaborate sound-stage homes and all of the beautiful extras. He makes it all look so beautiful and "rich". But underneath the sparkle, it's the same old formula...stereotypical "Beeotches" and "hoes", amateur acting, unnecessary drama, violence & hate. I thought this was more about the building of a successful family business. But EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER YELLS & CURSES at each other the ENTIRE time. The premise HAD potential. I just had different expectations.
