I'm disappointed in the direction all these Detroit based movies and shows are going. It's one drug and stripper movie after the next, and this series is no different. Every black "hood" stereotype is crammed into this series, with some soft porn thrown in in case we didn't know what sex looks like. The acting is horrible, but the men do a better job than the women surprisingly. Season 2 is no better, the same drugs, sex and strip club shenanigans as the 1st season. I thought we'd see a better variety in storylines, but I was sadly mistaken. I can tell this group of writers, directors, actors etc. Have potential to make some decent films, if they'd only move past this oversaturated hood drama genre!

I am over this show. I won't return for another season if it makes it to S5. Let's be clear: I am a black woman. So before anyone assumes my review is biased, it's NOT. This show is just a mess. I liked it in the beginning and was really hoping the storylines and writing would improve; however, it just keeps getting worse with each episode! Why is Tyler dragging 17 minutes of dialogue out over 43 minutes???? I'm deducting about 15-18 minutes of commercials which leaves about 40-45 minutes of bad acting and time fillers. I stopped watching TP's sitcoms long ago as they became increasingly silly, but I thought this show would be one of his better projects.... The episodes just drag along with so much fluff that 3 episodes could legitimately be combined into one and the show would flow much better! And to add insult to injury, the writing is just soooo unrealistic! For instance, why is Karen running amuck and no one has checked her yet???? Not one of her friends have put her in her place, but she can say and do anything she wants to everyone else?? Let's be serious, that's not real life! She would've been checked at least 15 times by now. Why is Aiden not fired from the firm??? All of it is just dumb. I was hoping for better, but given the history of TP's ridiculous soap opera/comedy/drama/play-adjacent shows, I guess I was always prepared for the worst.
