Die Männer Ihrer Majestät

PROS:

• It was entertaining enough to get me through a patch of boredom.

• Eva Marcille was aesthetically perfect for the lead character.

• The most well executed part of the series are the scenes announcing the dancers and Christian Keyes performance in his role.

CONS:

• Poor studio lighting and shaky camera frames. It makes the production look very low budget from a credible producer with the largest filming studio in the country. It's filmed like a daytime soap opera from the 90s.

• The scene changes and camera angles are very basic and don't have any creativity put into the editing.

• The delivery from the actors came across as practice or a rehearsal for the final taping as if they still had the script in their hands, reading aloud, rehearsing the scenes. Christian Keyes, quit naturally, was the strongest actor.

• Very weak dialogue with an excessive amount of unnecessary profanity and racial slurs. It's also very monotone and doesn't give a balanced ranges of emotions. It's very aggressive and dense in every episode.

• I don't mind the massive amount sexual expression in the plot but theirs absolutely no creativity or originality put into the portrayal.

• It comes across more as improv and as libs than it does a written series.

• The story isn't cohesive nor does it have an organic flow and it's very predictable.

• The adult rated scenes don't have any passion and don't really give you that sense of arousal that they should. It almost comes across of a parody of what a adult rated scene is suppose to look like.

• Unnecessary background music dilutes a lot of the (acting) performances in certain scenes and it's excessively used in every single scene.

• There's absolutely no character development. Just an ongoing plot drawn out plot with no foundation.

• It's unbelievably dramatic.

• The work that went into making this series relatable to a designated demographic could went into creating something next level and evolutionizing for that designated demographic.

This gets a 6 from me because the show has a good start and has room to grow. I appreciate the writing and Eva is believable and I like her. In spite of the bad, you root for Madam. She's ruthless and protective in the same vein. You also see her very real vulnerable spots, and that duality is refreshing. The eye candy is outstanding and the minor twist are enough to keep you going. The surprises are enough to bring you back. The beauty on the screen is breath-taking and to be one these cast members is to be one of the beautiful people.

The show carries a Tyler Perry"ishness" in tone... which is not surprising considering he directed most episodes and serves as Executive Producer. The show is a good addition to BETplus and another reason to keep my subscription.

With all of that good and interesting, the show has room to grow. The dialogue is a bit stiff, sometimes contrived as well as some of the valiant scenes, especially when Madam saves the day... And I'm awaiting the onion-reveal of the nephew's motivation. I hope the show moves away from some of the minor expected romances and hook-ups.

And a Sheri maintaining and kicking ass gets me every time!

I think the show is great but there's some areas that needs improvements. For instance that character named amp. They were all dating fine with dime then after that money incident we see amp overreacting and just traumatising dime over and over again for no reason its hurting and disgusting because no one can do that in real life so if the writers want them to get back together then let them come amd don't keep us waiting but if they don't then make each character move on separately with his and her life. I think that wasn't right at all. No one can do that in real life especially if its someone they love.

This show is lol bad. As others have said, it's in no way believable. Everything in the show is bad. The budget, the script, the premace, etc. It's just dumb, everyone in the show just does what they want with impunity. Seems like a female power fantasy, which is ok if that's what you're into, but it's just poorly written. It's basically like a bad novel, but instead of the romance, it's male strippers with sideways Johnson's. Lol. The lead runs around town murdering whomever with imounity. Even when they set people up it's laughably pathetic writing, the way the police behave, it's pathetic. The responses to questions, I guess that's the writing, sheesh. It's bad.

The show was watchable the first 4 episodes of season 1. However, as soon as Tyler Perry got involved the story line, acting and plot became over the top and unrealistic. The acting is bad but this woman Madam character is ridiculous. She takes on white supremist, police, gangs, cartels politicians, and judges all from the comforts from her lowly little strip club and gets away with it. Really? All of the men in this show are emasculated ie her house servant. He talks like he's in a trance, just ridiculous. The only reason it gets above 5 stars is because of the eye candy that appeals to women.
