Wanda Sykes and Kim Fields are great as sisters in this series. Mike Epps offers some funny moments as the always scheming husband. Overall, it's a light, fun watch.
I didn't have high hopes for this, however it was really good, tackled some great issues and wasn't overrun with ridiculous comedy.
The actors all took a step forward and seemed to grow into their characters in Season 2. However, the writing itself seemed to take a very noticeable hit from the level we enjoyed in Season 1. If there's a Season 3, I hope they bring back Mitchell Marchand as the Executive Story Editor. I think contributions from him and Annie Levine were part of what made the show so enjoyable.
It picks up and is fun starting with episode 3. Wanda and Mike Epps exchanging zingers are the worth waiting for. It's fun, give it a chance.
A comedy that's actually funny, I'm here for it! Epps and Sykes steal the show, they have great banter and keep the laughs rolling. Storylines are fairly well developed and the acting is decent.
