First Wives Club

As a 33 year old white gay man, I heard there was a "The First Wives Club" tv show remake and no matter what I had to see what this was all about. I signed up for the BET+ streaming service, just to watch the show. Its worth it! Great characters, and great concept! They took the original idea and made it their own! There are a few "callbacks" to the original movie and they are so welcome, but for the most part the show is fresh, funny, and edgy! Definitely worth the watch!

I loved everything about this. The fact that this version focuses on working on marriages and how hard they are, was surprising and I loved it. I will say though that the men's characters seemed to have been written by females...don't get me wrong, I loved David and Gary and I wish I could find a man like Kahlil or Nigel, but the writers seemed to romance how a man acts, and I love and respect men so I'm not insulting, just seemed strange. Everything else was perfect, even the slapstick comedy was on target. All the actors were perfect, and they all deserved awards. I've added all of them to my "must watch list".

Love the honesty of the characters and the beautiful portrayal of African American women in friendship and support of each other.

I had to leave a review!

I really enjoyed season 1 but this season 2 is a bit over the top unrealistic!

How ridiculous was episode 8???

Who does that?

Destroying their "best friends" house! Acting like children!

Pathetic! I'm out.

This is actually one of BET+'s better shows. The show starts to pick up more in the second season, the sets look a lot nicer and the episodes are more fleshed out. Jill Scott, Michelle Buteau and Jordan Carlos are all funny. I like that Bree and Gary's story ark shows how complicated trying to sustain a marriage can be when there has been infidelity. If you enjoy shows like Run The World on the STARZ network or Harlem on Amazon Prime (like I do) you may enjoy this as well. Its an easy show to binge watch, I also like how some of the moments in the show feel authentic to certain adult's experience such as balancing career opportunities alongside relationships.
