Wonderful character development!

Perfectly adorable

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

This show is awful.It's full of posturing and severely lacking in substance. The plot plods along, boring scene after boring scene. Everything is sad and miserable. Nothing redeeming about it. The writer should have read a few screenwriting books.The posters and cover art look great but that's about it.

I only watch this series because my girlfriend likes it. It's not a bad show at all, but it's also not a series that has really ever sucked me in. I find the character pretty interesting, and pretty likable, and the overall story arc is pretty good. There are some excellent moments, but there are far more pretty good ones.The one exception is Darla. the recovering addict who blew up her life and is desperately trying to retrieve it. Bianca Lawson makes the character wonderfully touching and fragile, and when Queen Sugar focuses on her - which is rare - I find myself completely drawn in.I haven't watched any of season 2 so far, but my girlfriends wants to watch it, so sooner or later we will. But I'm in no rush.

A friend recently recommended that I see this show. I must admit that I put it off on the basis that it comes from OWN which has a less than stellar reputation for producing quality programming. Additionally, I assumed that, considering the nature of the production, it would be - (sigh) - "predictable". Well, was I ever wrong to make that "assumption". Granted, I have only just watched the pilot, but MAN what a pilot! Outstanding. Not since "Six Feet Under" has there been an initial episode of a series which has been anywhere nearly this intriguing, enthralling, and - well - stunning. Very, very well done! I am most certainly looking forward to more. It is SUCH a pleasure to see Rutina Wesley on screen again: such an outstanding talent! Though perhaps the show may justifiably rate the 7.5/10 currently allotted to it by this site, please let me assure anyone who reads this, the pilot is unquestionably a 10/10 and WELL worth seeing.

I guess if you have not read the book you will love the show. I had to watch the first episode several times because it was so different. In the book Charlie's husband is dead and she has a daughter not a son. Hollywood was Creole and looked almost white, he does not have a wife but stays on the family's old plantation, Blues mother died from a drug over dose, there is no sister named Nova, this is what really threw me! There are only 2 siblings and Charley is Ralph Angel's half sister. The father has already died so there is no family gathering for a funeral, also Remy is white. And where the hell is Miss Honey, Violets mother, because she is the one that raised Ralph Angel and when Charle and Micah return to Louisiana it's at her house they stay, not Violet's. I am watching the show, and each time I have to remind myself to put the book out of my mind! I just don't understand why so many changes were made! I don't think there are any spoilers here but how can it be when the show is so much more different than book. I was and am really disappointed.
