Wait, what? Yes. Naomi Campbell. Go to Full Review Jackson McHenry Entertainment Weekly 03/01/2015
Cookie, per the usual, has yet another banner episode, as she does her best to pump some more ambition into Jamal, after he "bitched out" of his coming out announcement last week. Go to Full Review Craig D. Lindsey New York Magazine/Vulture 03/01/2015
1/5
From the embarrassing story lines to the ridiculous dialogue to the scenery-munching overacting, this show has gone from being entertainingly trashy to just plain trashy. And that's no fun to watch. Go to Full Review Michael Arceneaux Complex 03/29/2018
