    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Beauty in Black' by Tyler Perry delves into themes of power, greed, and sexuality within the beauty industry, focusing on affluent, dysfunctional families. The series is lauded for its high production values and complex social commentary but criticized for excessive nudity, graphic content, and reliance on negative stereotypes. Dialogue is often deemed formulaic, and acting is considered subpar, with some reviewers noting misogynistic and violent portrayals. Despite these issues, dramatic twists and an engaging plot maintain viewer interest.

    Drama that spills the tea in the messiest way possible

    Beauty in Black If you're looking for drama that spills the tea in the messiest way possible, Beauty in Black delivers! This movie is packed with over-the-top, soap-opera-level drama that's both hilarious and absurd. It's the perfect watch for a lazy, boring day when you just want something fun and brainless to pass the time.

    Don't expect anything highbrow-this is pure trash, and it knows it. The storyline is ridiculous, the characters make questionable choices at every turn, and that's exactly what makes it so entertaining. It's a guilty pleasure, for sure, and I loved every ridiculous minute of it!

    Please DO NOT WATCH

    If I could rate it with zero, I would, given how bad the series is. Terrible acting, poor dialogue, everything done in a completely amateurish way. If my wife hadn't been watching with me, I would have stopped right away... watching this series is pure masochism. It's awful and bad at the same time. Maybe the storyline could work on its own, but the whole package-bad acting, poorly cast roles, fake scenes-is terrible. For example, in one scene, a character calls someone who's driving around the city, then immediately calls another who's sitting and having coffee in broad daylight... such oversights, it's a disaster.

    Interesting American soap?

    I am actually surprised how much this series kept me interested.

    I watched it in one night, and must say Tyler Perry did a decent job with this, it was like one of those telenovelas.

    I was very iritated by the Mallory character and Kimmie's aswell. Kimmie was portrayed like a character who does not have a tounge to speak what is on her mind, without any personality. That was so sad. If I had a mom like she had, I would literally never looked back except my sibling. She was too pathetic, too shy, she barely confronted anybody.

    There were also parts that developed so slow and there was too much focus on parts that didn't matter at all unlike parts like the Rain character. Damn, that girl was forgotten so fast. No question.

    All in all, it is watchable and keeps you interesting so give it a try. A decent 6 because the acting was mediocre.

    So Poor So terrible....

    This show is a disgrace and a misogynistic display from Tyler Perry. It's eerie and chillin and the undertones in the current media climate is too coincidental. Money and power misused in such a condescending manner towards humanity.

    A theatrical disgrace to cinema needs to be shown in a dark hole.

    The acting is poor the storyline is poor and directing ability poor too.

    It diminishes the talents of real hard-working black people in industries where they thrive without the low life dirty drama.

    Another season cannot be created it's absolutely no value to learning anything in the simplest way.

    Just cancel.

    Overhyped

    There doesn't seem to be a clear vision for this series. A lot of unnecessary characters, no character development from the people that actually matter, and the plot took a turn for the worst. I'm not sure if the intention was to have a season 2 but I don't think that's a good idea. Also there were scenes being edited in real time as I'm watching in regards to lighting fixes like oh we were rushing to put this out. Mind you this was produced by a billion dollar company and this was served. The only good things coming from this was probably TS Madison and Big Tee (from Baddies), I didn't know they could act and I was fairly entertained.
