This series is everything you can possibly want, compelling, gripping, absorbing. If you enjoyed The Wire or The Shield, this is the show for you. I accidentally ran across it on Netflix and was captured instantly. I watched it back to back and then watched all 4 episodes again. Excellent. Its about time there is something different and unique to watch. Looking forward to Season 2. This is a solid piece of work. The theme is more than just hoodlums, drugs and violence, it received just a strong audience response because the acting is so precise you feel compassion and understanding. You begin to root for the bad guy and want the drug deal to be executed, and the villain becomes somehow good. This fantastic show reaches beyond just entertainment, it reaches your heart. A must see.

I agree with most of the other reviews. The acting is fantastic, many are finding complaints with Janet Jackson, that was her role, cold almost inhuman, controlled. This movie is overwhelming, earth shattering and heartbreaking. Whether you liked or not , it made you feel something. Isn't that what it is suppose to do. I was drawn into the emotion of the movie immediately. However the poetry completely threw me off. I agree with the critics, the transition from the poem into the film is not fluid. The poetry is oddly placed and not in sync with the context of the film. In fact I found myself wanting to get past those scenes and on with the film. I am going to read the poems first and go back and watch the film again and see if that makes a difference. Except for that, the film is deserving of all that is good.

I love this show, its honesty is so refreshing, nothing rehearsed. Fantasia just puts it all out there. Her honesty along with her loyalty and love is so endearing. She not only sings and it gives you goose bumps, her soul and heart do to. It takes you inside the real world of entertainment. We all just see the glamor and glitz, none of the sweat and struggles and tears.... Here you do. You see that it is not a walk in the park being in the public eye. This show makes you laugh, and cry. It is For Real. Fantasia let you in. I feel her strength and can relate to her struggles. If you want to see what really goes on behind the scenes watch Fantasia For Real, its worth it.
