The Family Business

First season was awesome! I loved everything about it. It captured my attention and held through the entire season. Season 2, I was still captivated. The show was continued to hold its own. There was a negative slope on the x and the y axis, thereafter. Thing is, the show is full of great actors. Not sure what happened after season 2. Season 3, there was a noticeable change and Season 4 is barely tolerable. I want to love it but I can't sit through an entire episode in Season 4. Fix it, don't cancel, just fix the problems! I can't post this without adding 72 more characters so I'll reiterate fix it!

The development of characters and plot was interrupted too many times. Looks like it will be an exciting series. I will give a chance.

With the cast of actors expected better. There is no flow to the series. I will give it a chance to see if it improves. Always try to support black movies and series but this has to get better.

Books are always better than the movies.... I have two issues: that stupid toothpick in Orlando's mouth is driving me nuts!!! And his dye job is driving me nuts too..... although not like the book, I continue to watch it...

30 November 2018: I like the cast with Ernie Hudson, Valarie Pettiford, Darrin D. Henson and sexy and cute Javicia Leslie. I disagree with some of the critics who think the show and acting is bad. I like the show, the cast and the acting is good. I think every all African American cast movie or dvd movie always have character actor, Clifton Powell. He has over 100 credits in low budget no name dvd movies that most haven't heard of, but most known for the film "Ray" about singer Ray Charles. Check him out in a funny low budget dvd flick "35 and Ticking".

It's flashy and a bit unrealistic to see Black gangsters living in Beverly Hills in what we normally see Italians and some Jewish gangster doing. It seem to take the idea of the hit Denzel film; " American Gangster" taking the gang members off the street corner and dressing them up with fine clothes and nice fancy cars. They sell cars by day, but I have watched all three episodes and nary an episode have shown people coming in to buy cars and selling cars is supposed to be part of the show's main plot line. I am glad that to see some Latino actors in mixed in the series and actor, Armand Assante as mobster is a nice touch. The show also has some nice sweet, sexy young eye candy. I hope the it last for a few years. Keep writing better plots and it will last. I give it a thumb up.
