The First Wives Club

Great take on a first wives club classic. Those 3 ladies do carry well this show. Cannot wait ford 2nd season. Please we need a 2nd season !!!

As a 33 year old white gay man, I heard there was a "The First Wives Club" tv show remake and no matter what I had to see what this was all about. I signed up for the BET+ streaming service, just to watch the show. Its worth it! Great characters, and great concept! They took the original idea and made it their own! There are a few "callbacks" to the original movie and they are so welcome, but for the most part the show is fresh, funny, and edgy! Definitely worth the watch!

This is actually one of BET+'s better shows. The show starts to pick up more in the second season, the sets look a lot nicer and the episodes are more fleshed out. Jill Scott, Michelle Buteau and Jordan Carlos are all funny. I like that Bree and Gary's story ark shows how complicated trying to sustain a marriage can be when there has been infidelity. If you enjoy shows like Run The World on the STARZ network or Harlem on Amazon Prime (like I do) you may enjoy this as well. Its an easy show to binge watch, I also like how some of the moments in the show feel authentic to certain adult's experience such as balancing career opportunities alongside relationships.

We signed up for a 7 day BET + trial just to watch this show. I hope they have more shows of this caliber. If so we'll keep the service.

My wife and I binged the season in two days. The episodes are fast and funny. You can go through them pretty quickly. Those girls really have some chemistry. The guys on the show are great too. Really impressed with the acting and the writing was funny and sharp. I also loved to see so much of my city in it. Really interested to see where the next season takes us. Keep it up BET!

Love the honesty of the characters and the beautiful portrayal of African American women in friendship and support of each other.
