Bad acting! Sick minded script writing! It's like they are reading straight from a script and repeating the same things over and over. And forgetting what happened in the previous scene or episode. Like why ask if she took a bath when you were right there with her watching her. This needs to end real soon and I bet if we stopped watch it it would. I wanted to see how it ended hoping it would on a good note. But I decided today that I will not watch this sick show anymore. I can't support this anymore I don't care who wrote or produced it. I really hope the actor and actresses are able to find other jobs after this. The storyline is so dark they must have a real hard time sleeping at night. They will need therapy after this and some real training on acting.
The acting in this show and the dialogue are absolutely atrocious. Each scene just drags on and on and on.
You can tell the dialogue was written by one person, run unchecked. Two people will argue and go through every variation of the exact same question and answer. This pads the scenes to well over how long they would normally go in a properly written show. The plot is stretched out to put it at 24 episodes a season. Mind you, I only watched the first 7 episodes before I bowed out. I just can't continue. It gets one star out of the respect I have for what Tyler Perry has done overall and one for the beautiful women on the show.
I was rooting for this series especially after the Fall From Grace shortcomings.
Similar to the other reviews the dialogue between characters seem like an after thought. There is a lot of back and forth conversations that take up the scene but go no where and have little to no impact on character development. In addition, the back stories for the characters are non-existent. We want to know who each of the characters are and understand why they are who they are. Flashbacks would be a nice way to provide some insight. In addition, the lack of research about detective work, policing and surveillance is needed to make the context more realistic. I would love to see this show be able to hold a candle to series like Criminal Minds, Power or the Mentalist. This series has a lot of potential but the writing is poor and need to be improved. Tyler Perry often brags about how quickly he writes scripts in his own silo but it is evident that there is not benefit to doing this. A collaboration of writings who can maintain some objectivity, have there own specialty wheelhouses and know how to research may change the game for Tyler's future projects.
Overall however, the storyline is promising and has the potential to be a big hit but the writing and scene development has to come a long way still!

This show is SERIOUSLY lacking. The "acting" is garbage, and I can't wrap my mind around the idea that TP doesn't know that it's garbage. I mean really? How does BET feel about peddling this trash? Do they even care that this type of programming hurts their image? Or does the money drown out the terrible dialogue? As I attempted to watch this series, in stunned silence, I expected Ashton Kutcher to jump out and say that I was being punked. There's no way the positive reviews on here are real. No way!!! Do better TP, do better.
