Ambitions

The weekly cliffhangers keep me coming back. HOWEVER, Robin Givens is waaaay too much over the top. While I think no one could portray Stephanie Lancaster but her, she seriously needs to tone down her delivery. Sometimes, it sounds forced, which comes across as fake. Also, Essence is a little whiny at times. Other than that.....I love it! Lots of twists and turns.

Okay okay ... I wanted to not review this , but this show gave me the break I needed from my usual heavy intense or cerebral psychological dramas and thrillers that I love to watch. So I agree with the earlier comment about campy good soapy fun.Robin is the best at bringing the former Dynasty/ Alexis/ film noir like reads and flavor. Like a "classy" Cookie Lyons lol!!! (intonation only)

I really like the show and what it's about. I just can't get over how bad of an actress Robin Givens is. All other actors are great and do a great job. Not too much over acting or facial expressions. Robin Givens acting just doesn't seem natural to me.

Any way the show can switch up actors?? Some of them aren't bringing the characters to life!!!!especially Robin, She's trying so hard!!!

If you're looking for a show that's a throwback to the glory days of classic soaps like Knots Landing, Dynasty, etc. then this is the show for you! Every single character has ties to someone else on the show and the plots are interwoven well. It doesn't hurt that the cast is good looking and glamorous. Other reviewers are calling it a black soap, and that's fine, but to me, it doesn't matter what color the characters are if the story is compelling, and this is. I can't wait for the next episode.
