I started watching this show because one of my favorite podcasts had a discussion about it. So this weekend, (1.20.2024-1.21.2024) I started watching it, because I needed something to act as background while I cleaned around the house.
Let me say, I don't know anyone affiliated with this production.
It gave me a lot of stress relief to get a good and messy hood drama in my life, I will watch a lot of different things just to get different experiences. This story is all over the place but it is very much enough to hold your attention. The characters have A LOT going on. I am riveted by the series, I will look forward to the third season. I knew it with one storyline.
There is a market for this show, there is an audience, everything can't be on the level of Game of Thrones or Downton Abbey. All I can say is that I had all the laughs, WTF moments, and "the .....?" moments while I folded clothes, sorted donations out of my closet and knitted a scarf. For the relief of my stress, the cast of "The Dirty D" have my affection, truly, it was the light and fluffy kind of series I needed, so I send a sincere "thank you" to them for that. I like to read the occasional hood fiction, I am a big reader and I read "urban fiction" to get the healthy dose of drama that it provides, this show did the same in television form.
*I do skip the 'love' scenes, but that is just because I don't particularly care for them, it became funny to me because there really isn't a prelude to them but after about four episodes, I knew.*
As I said in my social media post about this show, it is raunchy and explicit, but I am riveted; I actually care about these characters; which is usually hard for me, I usually am "Whatever, I just want this to be over." With "The Dirty D", I was sitting there like "Kyra, I need you to get yourself together, my love, don't let these men talk to you any kind of way!"
I enjoy it, sometimes it is nice to turn off your mind and just enjoy something fun and easy.
