All the Queen's Men

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?

Very late to the party but ummm... The drama was what it was, drama. And like a "messy" person, I'm here for the drama. I have not read the book this story is based on but I pray the reading is nothing like the screen watch.

The dancing and gyrating was OK. The acting was meh and the writing was distasteful. Overall, I was entertained in some way because, I watched it.

Scenarios were unrealistic even for fiction. The fake gangsta stuff, the STUNT DOUBLES...., the raggedy cheap apartments the dancers "getting money" lived in. Them sexing outside the club for money and their bag were supposed to be BIG working for Madam???!!! It just didn't add up,.

Yeah umm idk but, ok seems to be a hit so carry on, I guess.

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 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.

It was okay. I thought it would be better. Not terrible but bot great. Eva was better than expected but her lines at times are stiff but that's the writing. Says the same lines repeatedly. Guy who plays her nephew is fine as hell but acting can use some flow to it..felt like the same character from Sisters. The dancers were better actors. It just felt stiff. That being said I watched all episodes in one sitting and would tune in to season 2. Guy pleasure type show. The scenery is beautiful, sets amazing, wardrobe flawless, makeup gorgeous!.
