The New Edition Story

Definitely a must watch, chills the entire movie and I wasn't even born during there era. EST. 1993

This bio was amazing , told the side we didn't see and didn't know, the music flooded memories , and told the truths , of the things that changed those boys to men ! ***** Its hard to imagine the struggles and temptations that's involved with stardom . It's amazing to see where they are now and all that the have overcome.

Kudos BET and the cast of this amazing biopic. I was so immersed during the entire series and fell in love with New Edition's Story. BET please keep doing these with other artists and groups. This was excellent! The cast was so believable playing all of the members of the group. The younger actors did so well in their portrayal of NE's beginnings and the older team took it to the next level. I also loved that most of the cast was new. I loved that all the NE members were on board during the entire project coaching everyone on how to depict their lives. I loved the candidness of the story and how the message was about the strong bond of friendship and loyalty no matter what the circumstances were. They always found a way to get back to NE and that's commendable.

As a teen of the 80's, this was the ultimate in entertainment! The story was so wonderfully told. The entire cast was spot on. And the music...well, I don't even need to tell you! With the Face, Reid, Lewis and Jam flare, you know it's magic! So many moments brought a genuine smile to my face. Even the filler music was phenomenal. You will be blasted to the past and learn so much about this brotherhood. I loved these guys before (mistakes and all), but I adore them now! I'm certain I will watch this numerous times for the music alone. Any New Edition fan will not regret watching this!

With regard to expectations, this TV biopic of New Edition exceeded those and so much more. From night 1 to night 3, there was a sense that this could go on forever, or at least a few more nights. If you were a New Edition fan growing up or love black musical history, this miniseries was for you. I honestly think that BET could have stretched it out to a full 13-episode series (1hr) like the ones on Netflix. The production was great and the musical choices were awesome because it had the REAL music unlike some of these other TV biopics (*cough-cough LIFETIME). Also this was one of the most authentic biopics to date because BET was able to get the real characters that were involved.

In short, watch this miniseries. You will NOT be disappointed. No spoilers here, just go watch the movie! 10/10
