Our Kind of People

The story line is clear , there is depth in the personalities and mixture of characters , the clash between the rich and the poor , can't wait to see the next episode .

Regardless of the color of the cast, all the back-stabbing made me feel like I was watching something from the late 70's or early 80's, like Dallas or Dynasty. I've always liked Joe Morton and thought Yaya Dacosta was good on Chicago Med. They deserve better.

By the way, writers, at least do your research. Somebody was asked a character she had lived in Boston and she answered, "The East Side." There's no such neighborhood. The closest name is the traditionally Italian "East Boston."

It's a decent show so far but the plot is going at lightening speed. It's almost like a soap-opera in the way the story jumps around but if you're in-between shows it's ok to watch.

I appreciate the idea of an all Black cast TV show. Sadly, Our Kind of People didn't impress me that much after first 5 episodes. There's just too much shiny in all things ,be it glamour or drama. I do appreciate Joe Morton as Teddy Franklin. So that's why I stopped watching this show after 5 episodes.

I was excited for this series. The cast is great. The writing is HORRIBLE!!!

As a black American, the amount of forced "black" dialogue in the first scene along was absolutely cringe. When black people get the chance to tell stories, we don't have to ghetto it up for a larger audience. Black people are not a monolith but this show would have you believe that we all say words like lit and catch a case or say Miss Thang Thang...Modern shows like Power and Empire and Bel-Air and Atlanta, The Chi and even Grown-Ish allow for black folk to be all types of black in natural ways. This is high-end coonery. I mean, rose water? Coconut oil? Stop.

I understand wanting to make a show that showcases black excellence but this is an unnatural attempt at pandering and pushing a weird narrative to white audiences. We don't need to prove things to people. Let's make realistic shows unapologetically...
