Ruthless

I binge watched both seasons....not because they were so good, but because I couldn't believe they could get any worse. I was mistaken. I can soldier through a mediocre performance by actors trying to hone their craft, but bad writing is unforgivable from someone who has been doing this as long as TP has.....The storyline and plot had potential, but this appears to be a rushed project, similar to Fall from Grace. As a supporter of TP projects I would much prefer quality over quantity. TP has a few projects going at one time, and they all have the characteristics of someone working on their freshman project. I feel like the last decent script was from Why Did I Get Married.

I give it 2 stars because all the actors are attractive, and I think Elder Mother's character is dark and comical at the same time. She brings a little life to the script.

The acting in this show and the dialogue are absolutely atrocious. Each scene just drags on and on and on.

You can tell the dialogue was written by one person, run unchecked. Two people will argue and go through every variation of the exact same question and answer. This pads the scenes to well over how long they would normally go in a properly written show. The plot is stretched out to put it at 24 episodes a season. Mind you, I only watched the first 7 episodes before I bowed out. I just can't continue. It gets one star out of the respect I have for what Tyler Perry has done overall and one for the beautiful women on the show.

Bad acting! Sick minded script writing! It's like they are reading straight from a script and repeating the same things over and over. And forgetting what happened in the previous scene or episode. Like why ask if she took a bath when you were right there with her watching her. This needs to end real soon and I bet if we stopped watch it it would. I wanted to see how it ended hoping it would on a good note. But I decided today that I will not watch this sick show anymore. I can't support this anymore I don't care who wrote or produced it. I really hope the actor and actresses are able to find other jobs after this. The storyline is so dark they must have a real hard time sleeping at night. They will need therapy after this and some real training on acting.

For some god forsaken reason, I sat through 31 episodes of this show and the pacing is just too slow. So many repetitive conversations that go on and on and 95% of the characters are so stupid or just unlikable that you really don't feel attached to any of them. At least it's sister show "The Oval" can be watched as a dark comedy because of its ridiculous plot developments or it's cliche characters, but this show is so dark that you can't really enjoy this show in the same way.
