All the Queen's Men

Wasn't expecting much from a Tyler Perry production but I was pleasantly surprised. Despite the not great writing, Eva did a really good job of convincing me she didn't come to play any games. There's no words to describe the actors that danced... had me fanning myself.

This gets a 6 from me because the show has a good start and has room to grow. I appreciate the writing and Eva is believable and I like her. In spite of the bad, you root for Madam. She's ruthless and protective in the same vein. You also see her very real vulnerable spots, and that duality is refreshing. The eye candy is outstanding and the minor twist are enough to keep you going. The surprises are enough to bring you back. The beauty on the screen is breath-taking and to be one these cast members is to be one of the beautiful people.

The show carries a Tyler Perry"ishness" in tone... which is not surprising considering he directed most episodes and serves as Executive Producer. The show is a good addition to BETplus and another reason to keep my subscription.

With all of that good and interesting, the show has room to grow. The dialogue is a bit stiff, sometimes contrived as well as some of the valiant scenes, especially when Madam saves the day... And I'm awaiting the onion-reveal of the nephew's motivation. I hope the show moves away from some of the minor expected romances and hook-ups.

And a Sheri maintaining and kicking ass gets me every time!

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?

Very comical!! I thought Empire was far fetched, but this show takes the cake. The writing and acting is atrocious!!! The shows main character " Madame" is supposed to be some looney serial killer that is "untouchable"🙄. Supposedly she is like Superman! No one can touch her, not even cartel 🙄. We all know that in REAL life that would NEVER happen! So over this show and it's outlandish story line full of multiple unbelievable murders and BAD acting!

No one is completely untouchable. There is no way in hell this one could have easily taken down all this people with just her two flunkies, a butcher and some remedial pizza face bird brain. Ok bye.
