The New Edition Story

With regard to expectations, this TV biopic of New Edition exceeded those and so much more. From night 1 to night 3, there was a sense that this could go on forever, or at least a few more nights. If you were a New Edition fan growing up or love black musical history, this miniseries was for you. I honestly think that BET could have stretched it out to a full 13-episode series (1hr) like the ones on Netflix. The production was great and the musical choices were awesome because it had the REAL music unlike some of these other TV biopics (*cough-cough LIFETIME). Also this was one of the most authentic biopics to date because BET was able to get the real characters that were involved.

In short, watch this miniseries. You will NOT be disappointed. No spoilers here, just go watch the movie! 10/10

Should've been drowning in Emmys. Truly best biopic I've ever seen. Black excellence and a beautiful time to be alive and see it air live. Desperate for BET to make a vinyl for the cast recorded soundtrack.

Kudos BET and the cast of this amazing biopic. I was so immersed during the entire series and fell in love with New Edition's Story. BET please keep doing these with other artists and groups. This was excellent! The cast was so believable playing all of the members of the group. The younger actors did so well in their portrayal of NE's beginnings and the older team took it to the next level. I also loved that most of the cast was new. I loved that all the NE members were on board during the entire project coaching everyone on how to depict their lives. I loved the candidness of the story and how the message was about the strong bond of friendship and loyalty no matter what the circumstances were. They always found a way to get back to NE and that's commendable.

BET has kicked off the year on a high. The production value and story telling at it's best, New Edition brings back memories for those who lived it, and bring new ones the new generation. Straight Out Compton set the tone. New Edition raised the bar. All the casting was spot on. All of the actors did a fantastic job in this movie. Everyone gave %100 to this project. The movie was able to fully engage in each band member's lives (with respect to late Whitney Houston) giving the audience time to nurture and care for everyone's story line. The scenes, feel and vibe were all breathtaking. Like Netflix's "Stranger Things", you will be sucked into the world and might end up watching the whole entire series. The New Edition Story is an instant classic. Can't wait to see what BET does next. Congrats to the network.

Definitely a must watch, chills the entire movie and I wasn't even born during there era. EST. 1993
