Miss Governor

Slow start, the tone is kind of weird. I didn't like the disrespect of black people throughout. It's not till episode 8 that the show starts to get better as the LT. Gov. Starts to standing up for herself. They really could have just did episodes 1-2 and then went straight to the 7-8. The episodes in the middle are just hard to watch as they keep disrespecting the black woman who is now in power. Some of the outside characters and storylines were not needed. I preferred the last 3 characters that came in towards the end. They really helped shift the story and tone. They should get ride of the boyfriend with the loud colorful suits he just seems forced and out of place.

I don't get why She the People has such low reviews, da faq? I legit LOLd multiple times throughout the show, a rarity for me. It's fun, and yeah it's political, and once you get into the style of humour, it really delivers.

Sure, the first episode or two takes a minute to settle into, and the main character can be frustrating; you keep wishing she'd speak up more or stop trying to be overly nice (compensating in a way). But that's kind of the point. It shows the real balancing act that comes with being a Black woman in a position of power. It plays with that tension in a light, self-aware way that's fun (and frustrating as a woman) to watch.

Honestly, maybe it's getting downvoted because it reflects on things people don't want to admit about themselves. But for me, once I clicked with the tone, I was laughing and enjoying all the characters - both sides of the spectrum.

Really hoping there's more to come as this show deserves a second season!!

I watched the entire series. It was good to see Terri Vaughn not playing her typical dumb character role. She states the show is based on her friend from the hood who became the mayor of San Francisco.

The writing on the show is a 90s comedy skit that needs work. American Black people wouldn't sit back and let White people talk to them in a negative manner no matter where they worked. Tyler Perry did add an additional writer this time, Niya Palmer who worked on The Game and Run the World, but it seems he overpowered her!

I will continue supporting Tyler for building a table that keeps Black actors working and finds hidden gems. He has been the opportunity for a lot top-tier Black actors get paid for the first time anywhere near their worth. Tyler gets the actors but the writing and directing is weak. He'll get it right when he starts to give up more control of the scripts and directing. Tyler built the house and it's his decision. Black people must love ourselves in our full glory and tell our own stories. Don't bend your creative perspectives in order to be accepted by other ethnic groups.

This show was a miss on many levels. I watched because I was excited to support Terri J. Vaughn as I loved her on The Steve Harvey Show as Lovita. However, this was a hot mess. The storyline is meh and kind of unbelievable. The not so subtle hints of racism are awkward and feel forced. Also, if they are all from Mississippi why do only the white characters have accents? I'm a stickler for continuity. The writing feels like Tyler wrote a script and then just told the actors to adlib however and whenever they saw fit. A lot of the scenes felt like skits more than a sitcom. Jo Marie Payton brought some good character to the show, but that is to be expected as she is the veteran actor of the cast. Even still, that is not enough to make up for what else is lost on this show. A laugh track definitely would have helped, but probably not much. I feel like I should've known better, but I gave it a try anyway and my expectations should have been lower than they were. I can't really recommend watching it, but feel free to see for yourself.

I watched the first episode (and the first few minutes of the second) with some of my family. It didn't really pick up for me until a scene where Terri J Vaughn's character goes to get her daughter from a party. That's kind of when things seem to happen, but then the episode is almost over. But before then, it was not all that to me. Putting my feelings aside about Tyler Perry's content, I just didn't think it was all that funny. A couple of lines here and there were amusing, and one in the second episode I thought was legitimately very funny regarding a suit. I love Terri J Vaughn, and she's the only reason I sat through as much as I did, even considering how awesome it is to have Jo Marie Payton here too. But the writing doesn't help. Not only because of the jokes that don't work, but he still writes to serve the profanity, instead of the dialogue. When you say something funny, it's not the cursing that makes it funny, it's what you're saying that makes it funny. But too much of this script is just about him still trying to show people that he's not the same Tyler Perry that he used to be, and it suffers for that. That's all that stands out when it's not written well, no matter your "work ethic". It's not the worst thing I've ever seen, not even from him and it wouldn't be fair for me to say that having just seen one complete episode. I don't think I'm going to be watching much more of it though.
