#BlackAF (2020)

What the he!!?

[15 August 2021]

What the he!! Do you mean there is no second season? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? I mean, I get it. You want to reach a bigger audience (franchise etc.) but couldn't you have also achieved that with another couple seasons? I've binged watched this at least six times since discovering it and each time laugh harder than the last. It's funny as hell along with edgy dialogue ... perfect casting (Rashida Jones blows me away) ..all the kids have "issues" (except for second eldest daughter, Leyah tasked with the burden of explaining just how her wacky family came to be) and right in the middle is poor "put upon" dad, Kenya who walks around with a troubled...befuddled expression as if this whole success thing is not quite what he thought it would be. Also, love the way he manages to squeeze in Black History and social commentary...it is pure genius. I was so looking forward to Season #2. Sooooo I repeat .... WHAT THE HELL, DUDE????

Single Ladies (2011–2015)

Real actors, mature, educated, articulate women, interesting scripts.

[10/10 · 8 July 2011]

Okay,

I admit it. I'm hooked on Single ladies. I know the dialog is obvious,the script "soap opera (ish), the women,impossibly gorgeous, who happen to look great in some breathtaking clothes. And then there are those FINE A** Men! It probably won't receive any artistic accolades but I LOVE IT!!!! Let me count the ways …

1) Real actors!! No reality rejects. 2) All the actresses portray articulate, educated, funny women. 3) The women are not twelve years old, they're mature and sophisticated. 4) No loud, vulgar, "only reason they are on television is because they are(were) connected at the hip to some pro ball players or hip hop artist. Halleluah!
