Cherish the Day

I was so excited to watch a black love story but this just did not live up to my expectations at all. The fast forwarding through the years leaves us to only wonder what happened in between. I find myself with more questions than answers.

This show explores the complexity of a relationship without the typical demeaning and devaluation of either the African-American couple, or the societies within which they interact. The drama is offered not only in the actors' actions, but mostly in their words... completely cerebral!!! Simply stated this show is an atypical representation of a typical African-American relationship, entwined in all the complexities that occur when two people come from different backgrounds. Though the actors are African-American, this show will be enjoyed by anyone, of any race, who has ever remotely felt the feeling of love. Excellent!!!

I love,love this show. I am days away from 60, so I have made a real effort to not watch some of the romance orientated shows, realizing values and trends has changed .I love the casting ,Henry Simmons and Joy Bryant ,simply perfect selection. This show is mesmerizing, it has reignited the romance in me and reawakened my conviction in the beauty of enduring love. When they look at each other, the way they look at each other ,captures my heart and affirm for me my good fortune of having a beautiful black man that allowed me to enjoy the magic of a man's look and touch, being treated like precious fragile glass. After 40 years of marriage I am hugging my guy remembering that expressions of love over time make be enjoyed differently, but real and true love never fades. I salute you Ms. Dubernay, for this beautiful display of Black love, the resiliency sometimes needed, but the power and strength tgat comes with mutual commitment which often propels many to enjoy triumph over challenging circumstances.

I LOVE!! This show. I think the characters portray a realistic view of the difficulties and insecurities in the lives and relationship of the main characters. As I watch many of the scenes they make my stomach get the sensation of that love flutter because I can feel the love growing between Evan and Gently. I think the cast and writers have done an excellent job of pulling the emotions out of the characters in each scene. It's a great show to watch if you want the feeling of falling in love.

It lacks polish of Love Is_ but basically the same story with roles reversed and less character development. I will say it is enjoyable viewing so far.
