Survivor's Remorse

I truly enjoy watching Survivors Remorse. My husband and I watch it together. The show provides comedy that most upcoming black people can relate to. I also love the piece of wisdom that is subliminally displayed in each episode.

It is so refreshing to see many dark skinned women with positive characteristics.

The actors all resemble characters that we have in our family in one way or another. From a woman's point of view I did not find the comedy degrading or offensive. My husband thinks the show I'd hilarious and that the show is telling people it is possible yo start from a low income, single parent home and use your talents to become successful. His cousins character provides positive money management skills that everyone should consider.

Survivor's Remorse is described on the official website as being a comedy but I haven't found a lot of this series to be funny. It has been entertaining though. It follows the brand-new life of rookie basketball star Cam Calloway and his family, played by Tichina Arnold, Mike Epps, Ronreaco Lee, Teyonah Parris and Erica Ash with Jessie T. Usher as the lead character.

It features strong story lines and great use of music. I 'discovered' some good stuff through this series; Bryce Vine's "Sour Patch Kids" is one such track. It touches also on various facets of new money and some of the pitfalls that may present themselves when people see you as a source of money and opportunity.

Issues such as homosexuality, the Church and cancer patients do not make for a chuckle-fest but are approached with a refreshing candor and a new angle that may prompt some debate and discussion. I gave it 7/10 simply because if it was promoted as a drama and had comedic elements, it would have been a truer description in my humble opinion and would have scored higher.

I really enjoyed the first three seasons of Survivor's Remorse. The development and interaction of the characters was entertaining. The story line of an athlete who is suddenly thrust into amazing success and fortune, and seems to handle it well, should be appreciated given the number of opposite stories seen on the news today. The series started strong but it is increasingly lame. I'm having trouble sitting through full season four episodes. The show needs something to punch it up again. I do not see the show lasting much longer without a significant change.

This show starts off good, but as the seasons progress it gets much better, with much more substance. The actors are great. Everyone holds their own and more. Really enjoyed it and wish there were more seasons. Binge watched it in one week. Missing the characters already.

Definitely a Keeper! Almost wanted to subscribe to cable channel just to ensure I did my part to keep on cable listing. I viewed Season 1 & 2 on DVD and seriously debating on whether to sign up for Starz for just this one show.

Will confess it's not for everyone and definitely NOT a family show. If you like Ballers than it's on par. If you like Power than it's on par. If you like shows like Cheers/etc, stay away or watch with open-mind....
