Queen Sugar

I would have rated it a 9, but what happened with season 6? Did the writers go missing? It feels forced and fake. The only storyline that's worth following is Violet and Hollywood. Luckily they're my favorite characters, but still, the season feels like they just phoned it in, like someone said, ok, what are the most generic stories in the news and we'll go with those. I really hope the final season redeems itself after such a dismal season. It would be such a shame for a great show, great characters, to end as they did. It's like everyone (except the actors) just gave up.

I have enjoyed this new series so far and plan to watch the remaining episodes because I'm now hooked. The new faces peeked my interest and did not disappoint in their delivery of the real life complicated humans that we are. I can relate to their perspectives on what is happening to them and I love the New Orleans agriculture background being included as its own character. Even actors I have seen before, like Dondre Whitfield and Tina Lifford, bring new dimensions to the type of characters they are playing so their acting evolution is noticeable. The eye candy of men/women on this show is drool worthy and certainly keeps me engaged with the story line. Hopefully this first series will inspire a continual story line for other seasons to come.

Amazing cast. Superb acting and directing. I've not read the novel so I'm able to enjoy independent of how the story unfolded in that format. Slow build in season 1 but DAMN is it worth it! Stick with it. I watch a lot of shows but this is the one I live for. Gripping, real, gutsy, emotional & compelling. This story and these characters stick with you.

My gosh! Every season. Every episode is so complex and so relevant. This show draws you in and deals with issues that you can relate to in such a human way. I don't know how they do it but each season has been better than the last.

The writing is meaty. The actors are top notch. The issues being dealt with in the show are on trend. I swear each episode leaves me in tears. I love the fact the creator of the show employs a female director for each episode.

I am thankful for this enriching show.

I have already sent out a message to friends that this is a show to watch. If you missed the first 3 episodes, then spend some time binge watching them. You'll be glad that you did. I like it much better than "Greenleaf" which is also on the Oprah network. I give it 2 thumbs up!

The only "star" that I was familiar with on "Queen Sugar" is Dondre Whitfield from the old "Cosby Show'. He's all grown up and is quite handsome. I wasn't familiar with either of the two female leads, but they are really enjoyable to watch. I hope that white audiences will give this show a chance, but most intelligent African-Americans will enjoy and be proud of the terrific writing and directing.
