The Oval

Every show or movie that this guy puts out is 100% formulaic, shallow, dumb and without a hint of any vision, imagination or interesting storyline. Its like he has a show/film generator and he just adjusts a few names/characters and storyline and calls it a new show. EVERY character on this show is absolutely stereotypical with zero development or ambiguity, they all act predictable and you know from the start where this is going. You would have to actually try hard to make a show with less originality and imagination. What is even more sad for me is that this guy is supposedly pushing "boundaries" claimed by african-american various group however he is just basically exploiting them and using everybody as his personal mealtickets with every show, movie or program that he puts out so he can live in a palace. Shameless.

I am tired of TP and his poor excuses for quality scripts and storylines. Now don't get wrong: I applaud this man's hustle and his come up, but his writing is atrocious and some of the direction he chooses to go in is only an attempt to draw in people of color so we can say "Well, at least Tyler Perry puts people of color in primetime!"

This show is HORRIBLE. I watched the first two episodes and couldn't stomach any more. I am not a prude but the unnecessary sex scenes, the unnecessary profanity at every turn and the unnecessary twists and turns was ridiculously bad. From the gate there were 5 different issues going on and this was on the very first episode! No build up, no history of characters, no substance.

Please TP, just stick to mindless Madea movies and leave the serious dialogue and dramas to writers and directors who actually care to take the time to bring about real drama with real actors who offer real talent. Take some time to study shows like Queen Sugar, How To Get Away With Murder and Scandal. These are shows that are not perfect, but they are quality programming with great storylines and great actors who care enough about their craft not to throw together a show just because they can.

It's great that TP has the money and power to do what he does, but it's so sad that he won't grow beyond where he is to bring us quality television. No wonder this is on BET. And as a black woman, I am disappointed that this is even considered 'Entertainment.'

Was looking forward to this New Series, but plop after 10 mins of Ep1.... I continued watching but it, the acting and the script just got worse. Such long pauses after some actors delivered their lines that I wondered if even the useless Director had nodded off. It was that bad..

Honestly, I can't figure out if it's:

• so bad, that it's hilarious

OR

• if it's hilarious bc it's so bad

If you enjoyed watching "stories" with your grandma as a child, you will enjoy this show in a weirdly sadistic type of way.

Painful to watch. How on earth it was renewed for 2nd season? Should be illegal. CIA can use it during interrogations. I would tell them everything. I would probably rat out my own children just to make it stop. Anyone watching it should seriously seek medical professional.
