The Other Black Girl

I only intended to watch the first episode, but I couldn't stop. I *had* to find out what happened, and I wasn't disappointed, even though I stayed up way too late to finish it.

It's a tribute to the actors that they were able to show the increasing layers of their characters as the story went on and became more complex. Multiple sides of many issues emerged, and one important lesson I took away from The Other Black Girl is that there are no easy or simple answers to problems. It left me wanting more, and it seems that there is more to this story than one season revealed. So, let me just say: bring it on!

Disappointed this has been cancelled I thought it was a pretty good physcological thriller.

The "slight" horror aspect in the trailer is what drew me in. It ended up not really going that way too much but it was still a small part of the show I liked. The score & the lighting was part of that as well.

Great acting & casting. Everyone except Eric McCormack & Bellamy Young were new to me but they all nailed it especially the main 2 ladies. Was suspicious of "Hazel" right away.

Wanted to see "Nella & Co." win but the disappointing ending makes it impossible to know what actually happens.

Nella, Malaika, & Owen have a goofy Scooby-Doo crew thing going on lol.

Everyone needs a friend like Malaika lol her strong personality got on my nerves at first but her loyalty to Nella grew on me.

Some small funny parts. Poor Sophie lol.

Did not like where the ending seemed to be leading & it seems like there was supposed to be a 2nd season so it's just left too open.

Will probably go read the book now.

I have to be honest and say that the first episode did not really blow me over. I am one of those people who want to know in what direction a series is going, before investing time in what in the end could turn out to be a disappointment. And "The Other Black Girl" is one of those series that you cannot judge by just one episode (as compared to more mainstream series).

But I'm so glad a continued watching and saw the multi-layers of this cross between "The Devil wears Prada", "Get Out" and "Rosemary's Baby".

A wonderful series, great acting, many twists and a thoughtful social commentary without trying to push it in your face.

Bummed to see how the season just ends the way that it does. Please, Hulu, renew for another season. Don't leave us hanging. The Other Black Girl is a binge-watch-able show that makes you think. Very cleverly done. The themes are in your face but subtle and below the surface at the same time. I know that doesn't make much sense but it's the only way to describe what I'm thinking.

The one thing that bothers me though is that I don't believe Eric McCormick is the right fit for Wagner. He's a great actor and he's still very handsome but his energy isn't right for this role. Also, I know that she is a side character but Malaika elevates the series. She's enjoyable to watch.

Just binge watched all 10 episodes and WOW! I'm hooked! Suspenseful, thrilling, funny, and sooooo many twists. Kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I kept saying ok, just one more episode and then I'm going to bed. But of course I ended up watching the entire season in one sitting. It was so freaking good! Last episode was such a cliffhanger so now I know there will definitely be a season 2 and I cannot freaking wait. Y'all, Seriously this is the best show I've watched in years. Please go watch it now. I promise you won't regret it. I have never left a review on here and had to create an account just to leave this review lol.
