The Dirty D

This is a low budget show that is actually good and engaging If you keep that in mind you will enjoy. Not related nor friends of anyone who is an actor on this show The only thing that show needs is a bigger budget 💯

The anticipation is really mind boggling. I love the seeing black excellence but behind all the wealth is a battle. The way money creates so many enemies and how a beautiful woman can be so insecure. This is binge worthy I can definitely see this on STARZ, BET etc... The DIRTY D will have you yelling at the TV. Has another network pick up the series? Somebody? Anybody? I can't wait to see the next episode.

I started watching this show because one of my favorite podcasts had a discussion about it. So this weekend, (1.20.2024-1.21.2024) I started watching it, because I needed something to act as background while I cleaned around the house.

Let me say, I don't know anyone affiliated with this production.

It gave me a lot of stress relief to get a good and messy hood drama in my life, I will watch a lot of different things just to get different experiences. This story is all over the place but it is very much enough to hold your attention. The characters have A LOT going on. I am riveted by the series, I will look forward to the third season. I knew it with one storyline.

There is a market for this show, there is an audience, everything can't be on the level of Game of Thrones or Downton Abbey. All I can say is that I had all the laughs, WTF moments, and "the .....?" moments while I folded clothes, sorted donations out of my closet and knitted a scarf. For the relief of my stress, the cast of "The Dirty D" have my affection, truly, it was the light and fluffy kind of series I needed, so I send a sincere "thank you" to them for that. I like to read the occasional hood fiction, I am a big reader and I read "urban fiction" to get the healthy dose of drama that it provides, this show did the same in television form.

*I do skip the 'love' scenes, but that is just because I don't particularly care for them, it became funny to me because there really isn't a prelude to them but after about four episodes, I knew.*

As I said in my social media post about this show, it is raunchy and explicit, but I am riveted; I actually care about these characters; which is usually hard for me, I usually am "Whatever, I just want this to be over." With "The Dirty D", I was sitting there like "Kyra, I need you to get yourself together, my love, don't let these men talk to you any kind of way!"

I enjoy it, sometimes it is nice to turn off your mind and just enjoy something fun and easy.

If you really into hood stuff and you gutter like that you gone give it a 10 . But if you value , good acting , great story lines , and believability then this isn't it . They just added another 3 or 4 episodes. There are better shows out there , but you can do worse . It's palatable, the male actors are better than the women . The women look like straight hood rats . Again if you don't expect much from this , then you may halfway enjoy . It's so ratchet lol.

I'm disappointed in the direction all these Detroit based movies and shows are going. It's one drug and stripper movie after the next, and this series is no different. Every black "hood" stereotype is crammed into this series, with some soft porn thrown in in case we didn't know what sex looks like. The acting is horrible, but the men do a better job than the women surprisingly. Season 2 is no better, the same drugs, sex and strip club shenanigans as the 1st season. I thought we'd see a better variety in storylines, but I was sadly mistaken. I can tell this group of writers, directors, actors etc. Have potential to make some decent films, if they'd only move past this oversaturated hood drama genre!
