First Wives Club

I really liked the show when it first came out but the acting and storylines have progressively gotten worse over time.

I hate Jill Scott's acting but I love her (and I appreciate plus size representation) so I continue to watch.

Deborah Cox's acting is horrible. I hope her storyline ends very soon.

I hate giving the show a bad review or low rating because I'm so glad to have this representation on screen but I really hope that future seasons, if there are any, focus more on storylines and improved acting.

Love Gary and Bre's relationship and was very happy to see the new romantic relationship involving Jayla.

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.

Pretty decent effort here, but missing a little of the charisma and spark of the film.

I loved everything about this. The fact that this version focuses on working on marriages and how hard they are, was surprising and I loved it. I will say though that the men's characters seemed to have been written by females...don't get me wrong, I loved David and Gary and I wish I could find a man like Kahlil or Nigel, but the writers seemed to romance how a man acts, and I love and respect men so I'm not insulting, just seemed strange. Everything else was perfect, even the slapstick comedy was on target. All the actors were perfect, and they all deserved awards. I've added all of them to my "must watch list".

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