A Outra Garota Negra

Now I want to read the book that the series is based on. The acting and writing are great, and the twists and turns between the two main characters, Nella and Hazel, are excellent and will keep you guessing from episode to episode.

I don't usually binge watch, but the end of every episode was filled with such a cliff hanger that I felt compelled to watch the next episode. It even made me put down my knitting!

Hulu has produced some great original movies and series. I would encourage folks who are into suspense and drama to give this a try.

My only complaint is that the chemistry between Nella and her BF seem forced, if not non-existent, and also, her best friend is a little extreme. Both took me out of the "willing suspension of disbelief," but the show was otherwise worth my time.

Disappointed this has been cancelled I thought it was a pretty good physcological thriller.

The "slight" horror aspect in the trailer is what drew me in. It ended up not really going that way too much but it was still a small part of the show I liked. The score & the lighting was part of that as well.

Great acting & casting. Everyone except Eric McCormack & Bellamy Young were new to me but they all nailed it especially the main 2 ladies. Was suspicious of "Hazel" right away.

Wanted to see "Nella & Co." win but the disappointing ending makes it impossible to know what actually happens.

Nella, Malaika, & Owen have a goofy Scooby-Doo crew thing going on lol.

Everyone needs a friend like Malaika lol her strong personality got on my nerves at first but her loyalty to Nella grew on me.

Some small funny parts. Poor Sophie lol.

Did not like where the ending seemed to be leading & it seems like there was supposed to be a 2nd season so it's just left too open.

Will probably go read the book now.

I'll keep it real. During the first 10 or so minutes of the pilot, I wasn't really feeling this show. It felt too cliché in all the horror elements that Stranger Things did 10x better.

But then I kept watching. And I. Couldn't. Stop. I'm truly blown away by the originality of these writers to construct episodes and plots I have yet to see in TV. If the comparison does justice, it's like Get Out mixed with a little bit of Us. I laughed. I cried. I mmmhmm'd. It's an unapologetic show that gracefully covers race relations without being over-direct about it.

My only complaint is toward the end, in which the plot twists came at the cost of some logically unsound events. Had these latter story elements been as pristine as the surprises, I might've leaned toward a 10. The acting of the main characters are perfect; some of the lesser seen characters felt a little kiddish. I also felt like the backstory we got of (you know who) felt unfinished and rushed. You can't possibly do a backstory justice in just one episode and a few cheesy flashbacks.

Overall amazing. Will definitely watch it again once I start to forget the plot a little. Truly worth (most) every minute.

Just binge watched all 10 episodes and WOW! I'm hooked! Suspenseful, thrilling, funny, and sooooo many twists. Kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I kept saying ok, just one more episode and then I'm going to bed. But of course I ended up watching the entire season in one sitting. It was so freaking good! Last episode was such a cliffhanger so now I know there will definitely be a season 2 and I cannot freaking wait. Y'all, Seriously this is the best show I've watched in years. Please go watch it now. I promise you won't regret it. I have never left a review on here and had to create an account just to leave this review lol.

I only intended to watch the first episode, but I couldn't stop. I *had* to find out what happened, and I wasn't disappointed, even though I stayed up way too late to finish it.

It's a tribute to the actors that they were able to show the increasing layers of their characters as the story went on and became more complex. Multiple sides of many issues emerged, and one important lesson I took away from The Other Black Girl is that there are no easy or simple answers to problems. It left me wanting more, and it seems that there is more to this story than one season revealed. So, let me just say: bring it on!
