David Makes Man

This show is refreshing-people who says it's slow, just don't get it. Sometimes slow is better.

Some say this is a coming-of-age story, some say it's about a boy trying to get out of poverty. I say it's about a introverted boy, under trying circumstances like most young boys of color, who are living/raised in an extreme at risk home life. So many things happen and he does not know what to say about them, and he never really says what he wants to say, this keeps him in a deep emotional war, but at the end...... you'll find out...... no spoiler alert here!! watch to the end then go back and rewatch the whole show. You will see it differently the second time.

Very strong Pilot episode made me want to watch it again - IMMEDIATELY! From the brilliant co-writer of MOONLIGHT, this stylized drama takes off like a rocket. Fantastic acting from the amazing ensemble - McDowell and Rashad are stand outs (Phylicia Rashad can do no wrong anymore in my eyes), wonderful writing and yes, there is a moment near the end that made me want to see it all over again. Profound. Provocative. Visually stunning. I hope Oprah and her OWN network gives this a nice Emmy push come next year, because it could very well be a contender.

Starts off slow but it picks up every episode. Brilliant show, great cast and writers. I recommend for those who appreciate art overall. I appreciated the writing the most but the actors did well. Great show.

Season one hooked me. Loved it. 3 episodes into season 2 and I am so disappointed. What are the writers doing? They are ruining a great show.
