6/10
A contemporary soap opera that you can't stop thinking about
12 July 2013
Warning: Spoilers
It's a show you'll hate to love. The acting is, for the most part, uninspiring, the characters are irkingly unbelievable and, on the face of it, the storyline is, well, 'very soapy' but, no matter how hard you may try not to, somewhere between stirring your coffee and waiting for the train, you'll suddenly find yourself asking, 'Hmmm, I wonder what Candice is up to?' Volumes could be written about the creature known as Candice. She's smart, conniving and willing to do whatever she needs to, to get what she wants. The problem is she's also stunning and brilliant and, as hard as it is to believe, she's actually quite sweet, a combination that isn't going to end well for anyone who crosses her in her one-eyed quest for money, power, acceptance and, above all, freedom.

There's blackmail, there's double crossing, there are family secrets galore and there's even triple crossing! You'll hate it and you'll love it, then you'll hate it again and swear you're not going to watch the next episode - until Tuesday hits and, well, you'll try it 'one last time.' Despite everything else, Tyler Perry's writing is really enjoyable. Some great lines and a script/storyline that could have done as well as Revenge had the acting been a little less forced in a way that only daytime soapies can be.
