First Wives Club

As a 33 year old white gay man, I heard there was a "The First Wives Club" tv show remake and no matter what I had to see what this was all about. I signed up for the BET+ streaming service, just to watch the show. Its worth it! Great characters, and great concept! They took the original idea and made it their own! There are a few "callbacks" to the original movie and they are so welcome, but for the most part the show is fresh, funny, and edgy! Definitely worth the watch!

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.

We signed up for a 7 day BET + trial just to watch this show. I hope they have more shows of this caliber. If so we'll keep the service.

My wife and I binged the season in two days. The episodes are fast and funny. You can go through them pretty quickly. Those girls really have some chemistry. The guys on the show are great too. Really impressed with the acting and the writing was funny and sharp. I also loved to see so much of my city in it. Really interested to see where the next season takes us. Keep it up BET!
