l_r_forever This shows speak to what many black woman deal with in life.

cddgmm I think she is an amazing actress....having said that....and I know it is the script and the role she is playing....but she is NOT a sympathetic character to me.....she messes with the men in her life....she plays games...one minute taunting them.....and one minute pushing them away....all the time with NO regard for the feelings of the other women in their life....sorry.....but to me....she is a game player....maybe they are as well....but would like to see her be "higher"....to rise above and act with some integrity...and that "ain't happening"....not to mention....killing her fish....how sick is that....sorry.... her game playing ....well, I just lost interest....will not be watching any more episodes.....so long Mary Jane....

hardinjudy I watched the first episode of the show and found it pretty good. As time went on and the series began, the show was terrible! The only reason there are viewers is the married man, single woman scenes. If you take out the scenes of Mary Jane's love interest you have nothing. The show is boring and Gabrielle Union, in my opinion, is not good at serious acting. I found her acting to be very delightful in comedies. She is very good in comedy films but very bad in drama. I cannot think of one film or series that she has been in and played a dramatic role, and that film or series succeeded. Like I said, the only reason this series is still being aired is due to the steamy scenes....remove them and the series is dead.

Thuli Lukhele The best compliment I could give this show is the soundtrack. I found myself singing along and bobbing my head throughout the premier. Other than that, the show falls flat. This is a pity considering it is exciting to see the diversification of lead characters on television, whichever form that may come. The script is flat and uneventful. The plot development is slow and uninspiring. The acting is shockingly flat considering how much overacting is happening on the show. I completely agree with one of the previous reviewers in saying that, if this was on any other network and not BET, it would have been cancelled after the pilot. This frustrates me because if we want to improve diversity on main stream television, we need to make sure we raise our expectations and standards. I wanted to like it because it increases the visibility of black females, but I cannot praise mediocrity. 4 Stars for the soundtrack and Gabrielle Union.
