All the Queen's Men

The show was watchable the first 4 episodes of season 1. However, as soon as Tyler Perry got involved the story line, acting and plot became over the top and unrealistic. The acting is bad but this woman Madam character is ridiculous. She takes on white supremist, police, gangs, cartels politicians, and judges all from the comforts from her lowly little strip club and gets away with it. Really? All of the men in this show are emasculated ie her house servant. He talks like he's in a trance, just ridiculous. The only reason it gets above 5 stars is because of the eye candy that appeals to women.

I really tried with this show. The repeating if the same lines over and over, making the characters seem stupid is sooo hard to watch. Unfortunately this is the norm in Tyler Perry movies. Blue's character is not believable at all. The only characters and acting that regularly carry the show are the main dancers and their choreography on stage is good. I can't understand why the writer's of Tyler Perry's shows get the same feedback about the acting, the repeated lines ( like they are unaware of what normal conversations sound like) and bad acting hasn't encouraged them to improve their craft over the years... But all of these shows are the same. I just can't watch without fast forwarding to the dancers... The rest of this show is painful 😖😣

This gets a 6 from me because the show has a good start and has room to grow. I appreciate the writing and Eva is believable and I like her. In spite of the bad, you root for Madam. She's ruthless and protective in the same vein. You also see her very real vulnerable spots, and that duality is refreshing. The eye candy is outstanding and the minor twist are enough to keep you going. The surprises are enough to bring you back. The beauty on the screen is breath-taking and to be one these cast members is to be one of the beautiful people.

The show carries a Tyler Perry"ishness" in tone... which is not surprising considering he directed most episodes and serves as Executive Producer. The show is a good addition to BETplus and another reason to keep my subscription.

With all of that good and interesting, the show has room to grow. The dialogue is a bit stiff, sometimes contrived as well as some of the valiant scenes, especially when Madam saves the day... And I'm awaiting the onion-reveal of the nephew's motivation. I hope the show moves away from some of the minor expected romances and hook-ups.

And a Sheri maintaining and kicking ass gets me every time!

Very late to the party but ummm... The drama was what it was, drama. And like a "messy" person, I'm here for the drama. I have not read the book this story is based on but I pray the reading is nothing like the screen watch.

The dancing and gyrating was OK. The acting was meh and the writing was distasteful. Overall, I was entertained in some way because, I watched it.

Scenarios were unrealistic even for fiction. The fake gangsta stuff, the STUNT DOUBLES...., the raggedy cheap apartments the dancers "getting money" lived in. Them sexing outside the club for money and their bag were supposed to be BIG working for Madam???!!! It just didn't add up,.

Yeah umm idk but, ok seems to be a hit so carry on, I guess.

Wasn't expecting much from a Tyler Perry production but I was pleasantly surprised. Despite the not great writing, Eva did a really good job of convincing me she didn't come to play any games. There's no words to describe the actors that danced... had me fanning myself.
