Ambitions

Ambitions is full of bad, over the top acting. Robin Givens acting is horrible and because of her I can't watch this show anymore. If they replaced her with a better actor the show may have a chance.

There's an argument to be made that good acting is increasingly being confused with intense acting. Robin Givens, This isn't a High School Play your casting in...Every time you speak..it sound like your reading a script from a play...She just not a good actress for the role she's is playing in Ambitions

Okay okay ... I wanted to not review this , but this show gave me the break I needed from my usual heavy intense or cerebral psychological dramas and thrillers that I love to watch. So I agree with the earlier comment about campy good soapy fun.Robin is the best at bringing the former Dynasty/ Alexis/ film noir like reads and flavor. Like a "classy" Cookie Lyons lol!!! (intonation only)

If you're looking for a show that's a throwback to the glory days of classic soaps like Knots Landing, Dynasty, etc. then this is the show for you! Every single character has ties to someone else on the show and the plots are interwoven well. It doesn't hurt that the cast is good looking and glamorous. Other reviewers are calling it a black soap, and that's fine, but to me, it doesn't matter what color the characters are if the story is compelling, and this is. I can't wait for the next episode.

I really like the show and what it's about. I just can't get over how bad of an actress Robin Givens is. All other actors are great and do a great job. Not too much over acting or facial expressions. Robin Givens acting just doesn't seem natural to me.
