Very disappointed :(
Some things I liked some I did not.
Really Surprised!
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
View MoreI love this show. It's funny, dramatic and real. Family is everything.
View MoreNot only is this show obviously scripted but it's badly scripted as well. The audience for this thing must work very hard to convince it's authentic because the only thing authentic about it is how boring, superficial, and unpleasant these people are. Maybe this would have more significance as a program if these were people who were truly famous. Like the Kardashians, they're famous for being famous, i.e., they have a cable show. They really have no special talent or anything to distinguish them except they seem to have money. But if they have so much money, why are they displaying themselves on television? Well, they really aren't going public with their private lives since this is written and produced by Reality Show Gurus. So, in the end, all this adds up to nothing. The most fascinating thing about shows of this sort about these kind of people is how Kendra, Honey Boo Boo, the Duck Dynasty clan, the Dugars, the Jersey Shore has beens, and other nobodies end up half-baked celebrities appearing in tawdry cable shows on channels no discerning viewer goes near unless they have a compulsion to have their intelligence insulted or even viciously assaulted.
View MoreOn the episode of season 3, entitled Papa Knows Best, when everyone sits down with the Dad to discuss their issues, Tamar is wearing heels, and a minute later, Uggs, same scene. I know I read about another reality show that filmed a family dinner over the course of days in order to get everything right, so when there's a change in continuity such as shoes, I start to wonder. It could be when edited, they didn't think it important to show her changing her shoes, and therefore the change of shoes wasn't important to them. I just wonder because you are in the midst of this heated discussion, and you go and change shoes? I want to think it is real, as this s a great show, and I hope it s not scripted.
View MoreI've just watched the first show of this season and I'm already hooked. This reality show is a breath of fresh air from most of the other African American reality shows out there right now and of the past. This is more like the black version of The Kardashians if you will. All the sisters are gorgeous, you have their supportive mother right there, and of course no reality show is complete without all the drama. We already know a lot of their background history since these are actually women who are talented and the public go to know through them through magazine, television and radio interviews when they were promoting their albums years before. Toni Braxton, a multi Grammy nominee and award winner, is the most known of the bunch after coming out in the early nineties, and has since gone on to marry and divorce, have two children, raises awareness for heart disease and autism and still performs today at 43 years old. A couple of her other sisters also have children and during the first episode we see their mother taking care of them while the sisters all go off to do a music concert in another city. Family is first in this television drama and they completely break away from the negative stereotypical images the women in the black community since Fantasia For Real, Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is, and Tiny & Toya have aired which all respectively depicted women as either trying to keep up with the Joneses mentality, extramarital affairs, blatant proud ignorance, and possible hardcore drug use and arrests (when you don't think about your children before handling narcotics in a car with your ex convict husband, that shows how bad your judgment is). They may come off as bourgeois and a tad spoiled at certain moments, but they also come off as genuine whether it's one bickering that the older sister didn't stay up for their pajama party, or the youngest whining about her record deal to her husband, or it's when they go to their mother's house to pick up their children and their hugging and kissing one another and jumping around and laughing with their kids on their way out the door. I love this show already and their clothes, hair and makeup are to die for! Definitely tuning in to watch next week! I can't wait!
