LGBen I really enjoyed the first three seasons of Survivor's Remorse. The development and interaction of the characters was entertaining. The story line of an athlete who is suddenly thrust into amazing success and fortune, and seems to handle it well, should be appreciated given the number of opposite stories seen on the news today. The series started strong but it is increasingly lame. I'm having trouble sitting through full season four episodes. The show needs something to punch it up again. I do not see the show lasting much longer without a significant change.
Pedra Pablo I watched all of season 1 and 2, and I will admit that there were decent episodes. However the acting of some of the characters is really bad, like they are reading the script off a teleprompter.Season 3 has sucked so far, with no raw emotion to the uncle passing. In fact I thought the whole script around this was crap.There are cliché' monologues that are poorly delivered and seem like the PR department went overboard making it politically correct. Making the delivery unrealistic.The mother and her Asian boyfriend dynamic seems fake and over the top.The gay sister is horrible in her delivery.The uncle was OK, but they killed him off.The best friend manager and his wife are boring stereotypes.The mother is a decent actress, but the interactions with the rest of the cast drag down her performance.Comparisons to Entourage are way off base, the acting is sub-par to this great series. The only commonality is the underlying story of first generation wealth and the relationships with family and friend around this topic. In fact some of the episodes are (poor) copies of Entourage episodes, like the episode where friends from where they grew up were bad influence and cause trouble, among others.I wanted to like this show, it is a good topic, but it feels like it falls short on its potential. Don't waste your time.
Taleeyah Daniels I stumbled upon this show just yesterday while I was binge watching Power (I just got Starz y'all). This show is amazingly written well. I like the unpredictability of it. Most shows I'm like, yeah I know what's about to happen. I like the subtle comedy of it all. The actors on this show are amazing and nothing seems forced everything happens all matter-of-fact. I hope this last awhile because this is a great show. I love how this is not a stereotypical Black show, the characters could all be White and I would enjoy it all the same. I'm almost done with most of the shows at this point and they are awesome to say the least.
CecilBurts It has been noted that there has been a recent surge in TV shows prominently featuring blacks or with predominately black casts. Some are pretty good but most are just bad - like most TV fare these days. After viewing the first two episodes, I'll state that this one is not too bad. More "dramedy" than "comedy" which is not particularly a bad thing. It will just need time to fully develop its voice.The writing is good. The acting is natural and not overplayed like some kind of urban passion play and there's a little subtlety there. They're going after familiar issues but keeping it entertaining and engaging without that TV show proselytizing that can drag it down.To juxtapose this show against another one I just recently watched also, "Black-ish" seems to have a better cast working with similar themes but tries too hard to do what "Survivor's Remorse" did without cardboard cut-outs. This show has a chance to be really good if given a chance.
