Review of The Oval

The Oval (2019– )
1/10
Just NO to The Oval
6 November 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Just NO! I'm extremely disappointed in Perry and how he's portrayed Black women in The Oval. It's filled with every stereotype known to humankind. It is wretchedly ratchet, and a nauseating Black woman-hating nightmare of a show. I would have loved a drama about Black people in power in DC and in The Oval Office. But Black people modeled after Barack and Michelle Obama, who carried themselves with class, dignity and respect, with a little intrigue and a peek behind the public image, showing how the First Family handles being Black in the highest profile office in the land. Not this hot mess of an embarrassment with Shaquita and Eminem. And the acting is atrocious. I have rode with Perry for years with Madea because I thought those movies were funny. Even against the prodding by family and friends to not watch them. But as I've matured and evolved, I just can't support shows or films that cast Black women in such an unflattering light.
