01/23/2021 This show is GOOD - that's it. That's the review. See more 09/13/2020 I enjoyed it, couldn't stop watching this show , Looking forward to the new season 😍 See more 12/28/2019 So the accredited actors who was casted do a good job holding on to a series that has good potential to be another Black Dynasty. I found it compelling, intriguing and wanting more. OWN may have lured me with this show. One actress who challenges me to return is, the actress portraying Bella Tru. She's not convincing as an inspiring woman trying to become a fashion designer. She's not trying at all hard and isn't winning me over as an actress. Her storyline is good, typical, but her acting makes me wanna go to the bathroom *Yawn*. Its not a believable fictional story but it has some itch that made me binge watch Season 1... and now waiting for a Season 2... okay OWN, I'm waiting *tick-tock* See more 12/11/2019 It was very good. Kept me on the edge of my seat. See more 12/03/2019 I just like to watch the actors, fashion, passion and their ambitions;) Some scene doesn't make sense and the actors are overplaying, but it is quite interesting and exiting. Waiting for the next season! See more 11/22/2019 Fast paced and good storylines. Mostly solid acting from a great cast. I don't think Robin Givens is believable though. Otherwise everyone is is top notch. See more Read all reviews
