Survivor's Remorse

While Survivors Remorse is definitely far from perfect... the show in its first season has potential. I thought the writing and acting was okay not great. It held my interests and I felt like I began to identify with some of the characters. The main character or at least the focus of the show Cam Calloway is probably one of the least interesting characters on the show and fails to truly establish an identity. This I believe is ironically an accurate portrayal of a young basketball star who has focused their entire life on becoming a pro athlete and lacks a genuine persona. He's basically a super talented basketball player with a huge heart... but that's pretty much all we see. They've gotta work on building that character and making him more interesting. Even if Survivors Remorse doesn't go further I'm glad they put it out there. You definitely have my support!

I would like to start off by saying this show is way better than I expected it would be. I heard Lebron James name associated with the production so I figured this show would have no adult themes to it being that Lebron is usually in it for he kids but boy was I wrong. They is plenty of foul language and sexual themes for anyone thinking this show was okay for their kids to watch.

The show is basically about a kid from the inner city who made it big playing basketball and now has all these issues to deal with because he is now rich. This show basically shows what it's like to be a basketball player off the court and all the things they go though. Ethics play a huge role in the two episodes I saw as the main character has to decide how to deal with situations with the help of his manager/cousin.

Mike Epps is pretty solid and funny at times. Tichina Arnold which plays the mom is a hoot just like she always is. She plays a hard nose woman that tells the truth and does not let anything slide. Watch this show if you are tired of the same old stuff that's already on TV.

I was unpleasantly surprised to find that "Survivor's Remorse" received so many negative reviews. This was certainly one of the better shows of its genre, especially considering how well thought out the characters were. The dynamic between Cam's family wasn't only interesting, but provided us with a glimpse of what it's like to achieve rapid success while many attempt to catch a ride along with you. Give this show a shot. It didn't let me down, and quite honestly, my only complaint is that it left me wanting more. All of the characters were played perfectly, but what was probably the most intriguing and successful aspect of this entire series was how the creators managed to intertwine both his current life as an NBA star with past hauntings, while also shedding light on how success has its downside.

Survivor's Remorse is described on the official website as being a comedy but I haven't found a lot of this series to be funny. It has been entertaining though. It follows the brand-new life of rookie basketball star Cam Calloway and his family, played by Tichina Arnold, Mike Epps, Ronreaco Lee, Teyonah Parris and Erica Ash with Jessie T. Usher as the lead character.

It features strong story lines and great use of music. I 'discovered' some good stuff through this series; Bryce Vine's "Sour Patch Kids" is one such track. It touches also on various facets of new money and some of the pitfalls that may present themselves when people see you as a source of money and opportunity.

Issues such as homosexuality, the Church and cancer patients do not make for a chuckle-fest but are approached with a refreshing candor and a new angle that may prompt some debate and discussion. I gave it 7/10 simply because if it was promoted as a drama and had comedic elements, it would have been a truer description in my humble opinion and would have scored higher.

I truly enjoy watching Survivors Remorse. My husband and I watch it together. The show provides comedy that most upcoming black people can relate to. I also love the piece of wisdom that is subliminally displayed in each episode.

It is so refreshing to see many dark skinned women with positive characteristics.

The actors all resemble characters that we have in our family in one way or another. From a woman's point of view I did not find the comedy degrading or offensive. My husband thinks the show I'd hilarious and that the show is telling people it is possible yo start from a low income, single parent home and use your talents to become successful. His cousins character provides positive money management skills that everyone should consider.
