All the Queen's Men

PROS:

• It was entertaining enough to get me through a patch of boredom.

• Eva Marcille was aesthetically perfect for the lead character.

• The most well executed part of the series are the scenes announcing the dancers and Christian Keyes performance in his role.

CONS:

• Poor studio lighting and shaky camera frames. It makes the production look very low budget from a credible producer with the largest filming studio in the country. It's filmed like a daytime soap opera from the 90s.

• The scene changes and camera angles are very basic and don't have any creativity put into the editing.

• The delivery from the actors came across as practice or a rehearsal for the final taping as if they still had the script in their hands, reading aloud, rehearsing the scenes. Christian Keyes, quit naturally, was the strongest actor.

• Very weak dialogue with an excessive amount of unnecessary profanity and racial slurs. It's also very monotone and doesn't give a balanced ranges of emotions. It's very aggressive and dense in every episode.

• I don't mind the massive amount sexual expression in the plot but theirs absolutely no creativity or originality put into the portrayal.

• It comes across more as improv and as libs than it does a written series.

• The story isn't cohesive nor does it have an organic flow and it's very predictable.

• The adult rated scenes don't have any passion and don't really give you that sense of arousal that they should. It almost comes across of a parody of what a adult rated scene is suppose to look like.

• Unnecessary background music dilutes a lot of the (acting) performances in certain scenes and it's excessively used in every single scene.

• There's absolutely no character development. Just an ongoing plot drawn out plot with no foundation.

• It's unbelievably dramatic.

• The work that went into making this series relatable to a designated demographic could went into creating something next level and evolutionizing for that designated demographic.

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?

I think the show is great but there's some areas that needs improvements. For instance that character named amp. They were all dating fine with dime then after that money incident we see amp overreacting and just traumatising dime over and over again for no reason its hurting and disgusting because no one can do that in real life so if the writers want them to get back together then let them come amd don't keep us waiting but if they don't then make each character move on separately with his and her life. I think that wasn't right at all. No one can do that in real life especially if its someone they love.

The start of the 4th season is horrible. The cop having her intestines pulled out by madams hit man and she's still talking but not going into shock. Tyler Perry is a mess. The series is unbelievable and it doesn't make any sense. I like madam and the cookie man. The dancer with the long braids is handsome and funny and so is baby face.
