Cherish the Day

I'm seeing negative comments about this show, and it's disheartening because I can sense that it's probably from people who either don't know the culture that inspires the characters and their interaction with each other, or simply resent diverse representation on television with content that doesn't try hard to appeal to viewers who don't understand black expression. The illustration of black love in this show, and the class attached to it, is refreshing. To top it all off, the writing of Ava Duvernay adds to its quality. I say to everyone who hasn't seen it to give it a chance and THINK FOR YOURSELF. Close minded people shouldn't have so much power that their opinions keep others away from a show they might actually like. Give it a chance!

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.

CONFUSED😕

Apparently my one word review is too short to post so I'll just say it again. I was simply.... CONFUSED.

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!!!

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.
