The Family Business

I never heard about this and did not really know anything about it but was wanting to watch something new. The bad reviews must be from professional acting coaches but if you are just a normal person like myself I would give this a chance. In the beginning some of the acting was kind of bad but after 3-4 episodes I felt like it picked up. The storyline was pretty good actually, I didn't mind it. I like how the family always had each others back and they promoted families sticking together no matter what.

I am just starting season 4 but I would give it a chance. There is definitely way worse out there.

The story line behind the show is pretty decent. Without going into much detail, with the star power it carries you would think the acting would be alot better. The budget has to be very limited because the special effects are terrible. The camera angles are poor not sure if its bad directing or just very bootleg. I think the show has the potential to be great if the right network gets their hands on it. A story of this caliber needs a netflix or hbo even starz type of budget. Some minor character adjustments and you have a major hit show.

First season was awesome! I loved everything about it. It captured my attention and held through the entire season. Season 2, I was still captivated. The show was continued to hold its own. There was a negative slope on the x and the y axis, thereafter. Thing is, the show is full of great actors. Not sure what happened after season 2. Season 3, there was a noticeable change and Season 4 is barely tolerable. I want to love it but I can't sit through an entire episode in Season 4. Fix it, don't cancel, just fix the problems! I can't post this without adding 72 more characters so I'll reiterate fix it!

Really bad acting! B class tv show. I was expecting more but it is annoying to see how bad they acting. Shut it of after 15 minutes.

30 November 2018: I like the cast with Ernie Hudson, Valarie Pettiford, Darrin D. Henson and sexy and cute Javicia Leslie. I disagree with some of the critics who think the show and acting is bad. I like the show, the cast and the acting is good. I think every all African American cast movie or dvd movie always have character actor, Clifton Powell. He has over 100 credits in low budget no name dvd movies that most haven't heard of, but most known for the film "Ray" about singer Ray Charles. Check him out in a funny low budget dvd flick "35 and Ticking".

It's flashy and a bit unrealistic to see Black gangsters living in Beverly Hills in what we normally see Italians and some Jewish gangster doing. It seem to take the idea of the hit Denzel film; " American Gangster" taking the gang members off the street corner and dressing them up with fine clothes and nice fancy cars. They sell cars by day, but I have watched all three episodes and nary an episode have shown people coming in to buy cars and selling cars is supposed to be part of the show's main plot line. I am glad that to see some Latino actors in mixed in the series and actor, Armand Assante as mobster is a nice touch. The show also has some nice sweet, sexy young eye candy. I hope the it last for a few years. Keep writing better plots and it will last. I give it a thumb up.
