For Better or Worse

If you want tv that can make you laugh and cry. This is the show to watch. I can overlook most of the issues in terms of execution, especially in season 1, with some production quality problems. This is because Tasha Smith carries with the dramatic and comedic acting and the storylines are interesting. Every character is multidimensional. They have growth and development in ways that make sense to the storyline.

Some plot holes are present in the show especially concerning the children, they seem to be there one episode then disappear when they don't fit the plot, I would have enjoyed to see how they'd act in more of a bystander role, or see what their lives would be like after the dramatic or funny storyline played out.

This show ran for a long time with good reason.

I wish the episodes were listed in a consistent way across platforms.

First of all, this show does not deserve low marks. We all know why it does has a low rating though. Certain people don't want to see other people that are different than them doing well if you know what I mean. Just weird how all black comedies get 3s and 4s while white comedies that aren't even funny get 8s and 9s. Honestly the show is pretty good. I love the characters, YES even Keisha, though I want to put her head through a wall sometimes. Todd is constantly mixing things up and keeps the show funny. Marcus is my boy, always been a fan, and the girls are great. Great cast , great clean comedy. Guys keep doing what you are doing. The wife and I are out here in Japan. My wife is Japanese and loves the show. Constantly asking me to check for new episodes. Thanks again for a good show. 10/10 for me.

I'd give this a 6/10.

The acting isn't bad really, which was what I was worried about at first, but it's honestly not (not amazing, though). They don't have a laugh track, which I love.

The writing is...okay. It's not bad, but it feels like watching an actual person's life going on, only simplified. The scenes aren't snappy or very interesting, but not boring either. It's like the conversations actual people have - only the kind of not so interesting ones you'd never put in a show.

They spend too long on the same scene on the same set. Some of the characters overact their comedic moments. The comedic timing isn't that great.

But it's not bad if you want to kill some time and want something kind of bland to give your mind a rest.

I am a big Tyler Perry fan but this show is so-so. I believe that the concept is great, the marriage issues that arose were great, and the atmosphere is good. But there were MANY times the actors were off topic from an original line and it made it hard to watch. And during that period they were off topic, they tried to add humor but it was very dry humor. It wasn't the actors that were bad, though some of them really tried but lacked full acting potential, it was the script that was actually bad. The script became silly like many other TV shows that are out now. I think this show could have been on longer had there been better writers. I love Tyler's work but I really can't get into his TV shows. It's like, with his movies he can take more time to write. With a TV show you have to come up with hours of scripts so it feels like they tried to fill in where they lacked ideas.

I like Tyler Perry movies/shows but that guy. Brad James character Todd is annoying he makes my head hurt in life topic are off at times but Todd should really be replaced like yesterday I don't understand how people can tolerate listening to him when Joseph got in a accident todd was trying to make joke the whole scene and never made me laugh once ever since I been watching the show He is never serious and always over trying to be funny but his funny is super annoying and I thought Angela was over doing it but James beats her annoyance any day.. but the show is a very good show. Except for todd.
