This is a great show with a fun concept. I love the topics at hand and the colors of the set. It's clearly a show for black woman so I'm not surprised by some of these negative comments. It's the typical responses when a show doesn't cater to y'all.
I'm glad to see Megan as a leading actress, she's beautiful and it's well deserved. The whole cast is great and be bring so much to the show. I also love seeing older black actresses/actors incorporated like countess Vaughn, Rachel true and jazmine guy. I love seeing us on this platform. I hope the show continues to have great success and conibtue the great topics. Stay mad.

I'm so starved for black art that I'm willing to overlook a lot of this show's flaws. First of all, I think they've wrangled up a great cast. I was afraid it would be cringe, but the ladies come off seasoned, even though I only know two of them. Only I find I can feel their excitement, especially Shaniqua's (Angie) who is always on ten. A bit of nuance would help round out her character. Also, Jasmine's (Pat) horrible Jamaican accent also killed me. Lol!
The scenarios skew a bit young. They are in their 30s and I just think the conversations and the reaction to the situations they find themselves in could use a bit more depth.
Overall I find the pacing of the show fast. I think if it could breathe just a little, slow it down, tone down the humor, bring up the angst, dive more deeply into their lives rather than rely on sexual encounters and one-liners, it will be an infinitely better show.
Even if it doesn't get better, it's good enough for me to enjoy. Insecure is out, I need my black girl fix.

This is just the series I needed! I love how it's centered around black women and their careers, love life, and family. Of course some aspects are unrealistic but this isn't real life .
I watched both seasons and they left us with a cliffhanger! I love all 4 characters. They each bring something different to the friend group. I often wonder if friend groups like that exist in real life because I have yet to find my tribe.
The only critique I have is how overly sexual Angie is or was. It started to irritate me but I can see how they made her that way to get to where she is now. I love her personality though!
The sex scenes also could've been toned down or completely eliminated in the first season. They really weren't needed. But it seems they toned it down in the second season.
All in all, I enjoyed this series and I'm hoping there's a season 3!

Very demeaning, lowbrow and insulting to black women. They give every stereotype imaginable to these women. They dress nice and live in nice houses with great set-pieces and everything else is plastic, superficial and unauthentic. They talk ghetto, overly sexual, desperate, and stereotypical and have no class about them. Just disgusting imo. Definitely not a representation of black women that I know.
I feel like this show has fallen. I used to love watching this, but the 3rd season is TORTUOUS. The storyline is meh, the acting is meh, and everything is soooo over the top and unrealistic. I'm struggling to watch this last season, but only watching because I want to know what happens.
I just don't understand why Ian and Camille are acting like this after we just saw their entire love stories in Season 1 and 2. It just doesn't make sense! I can't wait to be done. I am glad this is the last season as it already seems like the writers had nowhere to go and nothing to work with. These women are 30+ but act like freaking teenagers.

But when Prime Video hinted that the show wasn't going to get renewed, she rewrote much of the season and gave that storyline to Camille and Ian.
