The Oval

And stopped watching. I honestly don't know how he gets away with making such horrible movies and he swears it's just black people tearing him down. No brother, these shows suck! No one is hating on you the shows suck. It's so sad that Oprah keeps that crap on OWN!

... horrible, but, for some reason, you can't take your eyes away from it.

I also wanted to like this show, but the writing, acting, directing, and phony White House are all sooooo bad. That said, it's badness is mesmerizing, so I keep watching.

Every show or movie that this guy puts out is 100% formulaic, shallow, dumb and without a hint of any vision, imagination or interesting storyline. Its like he has a show/film generator and he just adjusts a few names/characters and storyline and calls it a new show. EVERY character on this show is absolutely stereotypical with zero development or ambiguity, they all act predictable and you know from the start where this is going. You would have to actually try hard to make a show with less originality and imagination. What is even more sad for me is that this guy is supposedly pushing "boundaries" claimed by african-american various group however he is just basically exploiting them and using everybody as his personal mealtickets with every show, movie or program that he puts out so he can live in a palace. Shameless.

Painful to watch. How on earth it was renewed for 2nd season? Should be illegal. CIA can use it during interrogations. I would tell them everything. I would probably rat out my own children just to make it stop. Anyone watching it should seriously seek medical professional.

I personally don't think Tyler Perry's materials are stellar in any way, but this mess here? I can't help but say that it's really bad, yet like a train wreck I can't turn away. The acting, the writing, the direction...it's all over the top and lacks any type of sense. There are too many scenarios in this show that will make you laugh out loud unintentionally because YOU KNOW as a normal human being you wouldn't react that way. There's no way, without giving too much away, that you would allow an incident in your home KNOWING the outcome would be unfavorable. There's no way, after an incident occurs, your reaction defies all logic and reasoning. There's no way, after you finally decide to get help, the help feeds you a bullcrap reason why they can't help. Also there are numerous occasions that the dialogue is so cringey, with unnecessary silence between the acting, it make you wonder if it was written by amateurs.

This is just the tip of this mishmash, jumbled mess trying to come across as engaging television. Will it get better? I highly doubt it. I have seen some decent work come from Mr. Perry but this, so far, is really disappointing. It's truly unbelievable and you, the viewer, deserve something better.
