This show suffered from writers who don't understand what makes something dramatic and or interesting, so the writing just drones on and on and on with underwhelming scene after underwhelming scene. There are so many opportunities to make this extraordinary but these people would have to understand enough about creating drama to know how to do that, and they simply do not. This is at every turn, in every scene, and on and on. They seem to believe that savvy tech, and concepts alone will make it interesting, but it doesn't.

I hope they get better writers, soon too, because the basic premise perhaps could be interesting, if . . .

This was a sweet story, art house for sure, and a bit slow. It is moody, and needed another rewrite and an edit to pick up the pacing. As is, the story does not do the massive talent onscreen justice. And they are excellent, so it is the direction that is the problem. Too slow, too disconnected and belabored. It is the pacing of the writer/director that is the problem.

Too many scenes of people doing nothing, driving, partying in the distance for too long, and on and on.

Casey is clearly brilliant as usual. He is really the king of understated performances, and suprise talents, like being a musician.

Basically it is a quiet, understated story, running a bit too slow.

Tyler Perry continues to prove that even though he has made so many films, he still refuses to learn his craft. He is such a horrible filmmaker, who cannot write a decent script and cannot direct a decent movie despite the endless resources he has. This was just really, really, bad, with bad, soap opera directing - stiff, no movement, shots of cars pulling away when that is so unnecessary, repeated nothing, over and over again. Tired, old themes, repetitive silly scenes, and on and on. How truly horrible, slow and silly this madness is and was. Just bad, like a film made by a teenager who watches soap operas 24/7.

Bad script, bad direction, childish melodrama, could not finish it. What a waste of good actors, all because of Perry, again. I'd like to put Perry behind a "blue wall." Good grief.
