    Love love love this show

    Angela and Marcus remind me of Lucy and Ricky. I love this show. The humor, real situation and most of all great chemistry between the crew. Thank you Mr Perry for your shows

    This is the Worse!

    I am a Tyler Perry fan but this has to be one of the worst written & acting shows I've scene. To have all the money Mr. Perry has, you'd think he'd hire better writers or maybe take a few writing courses himself. This show is just awful!!! The characters have no substance. Luckily for Mr. Perry, Oprah Winfrey is one of his closest friends, so she'll probably never cancel this program or the other ones she carries on her network. I'm watching it now which compelled me to write this review. That laugh track is so annoying also. Mr. Perry needs to be a little more realistic with his scenes. How many hairdressers stand on their feet, doing hair all day in 6" heels like Angela does? This is just my opinion but this show is awful.

    That todd character

    I like Tyler Perry movies/shows but that guy. Brad James character Todd is annoying he makes my head hurt in life topic are off at times but Todd should really be replaced like yesterday I don't understand how people can tolerate listening to him when Joseph got in a accident todd was trying to make joke the whole scene and never made me laugh once ever since I been watching the show He is never serious and always over trying to be funny but his funny is super annoying and I thought Angela was over doing it but James beats her annoyance any day.. but the show is a very good show. Except for todd.

    So glad it's finally available to stream

    I love this show! Marcus and Angela were my favorite couple in the Why Did I Get Married movies. Yes, their relationship is toxic and full of drama but I'm happy watching other people's drama even if it is fictional lol.

    I love all the characters EXCEPT for Keisha. I'm sorry but I just could not handle her smug face and attitude about everything. She made me just wanna reach through the TV and smack her face. Sometimes it did get a little repetitive, especially when Angie would fly off the handle about something that she didn't have all the facts for and then she would look like a butthead later. Jennifer was my spirit animal. If I was a character, it'd be her.

    So glad I finally found this on BETplus! I've been watching it since I found it!

    Definitely better than previous Perry shows

    To my surprise, For Better or Worse isn't as bad as House of Payne or any of Perry's movies (with the exception of Diary of a Mad Black Woman and Madea's Family Reunion - I'll admit those are my favorites). Is it an amazing show? No of course not, it's Tyler Perry; we all know 90% of his work is garbage. But the show does have an interesting storyline that has gotten me through 6 episodes of the first season so far. The dialogue is... okay. It's not the best script, but I feel that the actors have enough on-screen chemistry to make it work. The cast can act pretty well also.

    The only major problem I have with this show is the two supporting cast members, the "funny" characters - the intern and one of Angela's best friends. They're not funny at all. Although, they both did have one line each that was pretty funny. I feel that the main problem is that they overdo it to the point where it gets annoying. Perry could've done a better job casting them. I get that you need the comical character or two to help the cast and show flow, but those two definitely aren't helping. Whenever they appear on screen, I find myself wishing they'd just stop talking and go away.

    Overall, I can see the show keeping a decent viewer rate. I don't think it's worth running home to set your DVR or buying the season on DVD. It's a simple, sometimes funny, decently scripted and acted show that I can see sticking around for two or three seasons.
