Sistas

Every movie or show he makes is nothing but black stereotypes, even if he doesn't cast the black people as drug dealers and prostitutes it is the same stereotypical plot that reads as though he truly dislikes black women.

One star for each of the women is all I could afford to give this.

But I avoid his shows for his terrible writing. I only watched this show because I watched 4 episodes of the L word and I needed to see normal size black women and not wafer thin white women. But true to form the writing sucks; the stories are contrived. TP has great ideas , he needs to hire writers to pull off his ideas.

TP continues to half-ass his way through poorly written, directed and produced shows, and expects us to love his shows just because he's black and they're about black people. But he constantly insults our intelligence with his output. He owns a large studio, yet his sets seem extremely low budgets, his apartments, offices etc seem almost like stage play sets. Dialogue, plots and continuity are poorly executed. Imagine that the police comes to arrest a guy in a hospital saying it's for murder and the supposed victim is alive in the very same hospital!

The continuity is very sketchy... it seems like a single day stretches over several episodes and then it's hard to tell how much time has elapsed over a couple seasons.

The most annoying character is Karen's assistant Pam, with her sashaying, ridiculous expressions, hand waving and sing song voice she comes across as a cheap caricature of what a hood black woman is supposed to be.

Why is Andi a top lawyer constantly acting like an airhead from a telenovela? Why are all the girls constantly sabotaging their relationships then blaming it on the guys.

Why is a part black guy playing the role of a white country hick? Why are the girls able to just rush off their jobs for non emergencies so often? Why is no one ever seen watching TV but just sitting on the sofa doing nothing? Why are people constantly popping up at homes and workplaces at all hours like stalkers? Why is Aaron hitting on Karen just after his wife's death and before she's even buried? Why does the airport always look like it only ever has the same one plane and couple passengers? And what's with the weird hairstyles??? Why are people who work in a bank and law firm dressed so inappropriately for the job?

TP needs to relinquish some writing and directing to more talented persons or step up his game. And get rid of the always smug look on his face.

The tone of the show is very uneven. It switches between comedy and drama in a jarring manner, and many of the sets look cheap. I was looking forward to a show about black women in a positive light, but it seems that the women in this show based their lives around men and not themselves. Hopefully it will improve in time, but so far, I'm not impressed.

Why does Tyler Perry only portray gay men as extremely feminine. It's so annoying. As a matter of fact, all of his characters are extreme. So unrealistic
