Our Kind of People

So much is left to be desired with this show. The storyline is okay. Everything escalates so fast, there is absolutely no build up or working out the characters or the plot. The acting is subpar. The potential is there. Maybe the next season will have better writers and polishing.

I really wanted to like this show but it's a no for me. They cram too much into each episode. And they're trying their hardest to get the LGBT vote. The all black cast is beautiful but what's the point if the storyline perpetuates the stereotype that black families can't stay together? Ugh. I'm really disappointed.

The story line is clear , there is depth in the personalities and mixture of characters , the clash between the rich and the poor , can't wait to see the next episode .

I was excited for this series. The cast is great. The writing is HORRIBLE!!!

As a black American, the amount of forced "black" dialogue in the first scene along was absolutely cringe. When black people get the chance to tell stories, we don't have to ghetto it up for a larger audience. Black people are not a monolith but this show would have you believe that we all say words like lit and catch a case or say Miss Thang Thang...Modern shows like Power and Empire and Bel-Air and Atlanta, The Chi and even Grown-Ish allow for black folk to be all types of black in natural ways. This is high-end coonery. I mean, rose water? Coconut oil? Stop.

I understand wanting to make a show that showcases black excellence but this is an unnatural attempt at pandering and pushing a weird narrative to white audiences. We don't need to prove things to people. Let's make realistic shows unapologetically...

I had so much hopes for this show! It's the same ole typical story lines and plot, a little slow and all over the place! They tried too hard with this one, the drama is over the top and lame! I'm passing on this one!
