"Our Kind of People" takes place in the aspirational world of Oak Bluffs on Martha's Vineyard, a historical stronghold where the rich and powerful Black elite have come to play for over 50 years. Strong-willed single mom Angela Vaughn sets out to reclaim her family's name and make an impact with her revolutionary hair care line that highlights the innate, natural beauty of Black women, but she soon discovers a dark secret about her own mother's past that will turn her world upside-down and shake up this community forever. The show is a soapy, thrilling exploration of race and class in America and an unapologetic celebration of Black resilience and achievement.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Our Kind of People has its share of soapy seductions, but overly familiar plots and a general lack of tension strand an attractive cast in a beautifully empty drama.

2.5/4
Silly, frothy, fun, watchable. Go to Full Review Inkoo Kang Washington Post Sep 28, 2021
The premise, unfortunately, is as rote as they come, much of it pilfered from Daniels's last megahit on the same network, "Empire." Go to Full Review Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter Sep 28, 2021
As with almost everything else about Our Kind of People, however, its observations about race and class tend to be buried under the relentlessness of the plot. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media Sep 28, 2021
3/5
Our Kind Of People still manages to deliver an indulgent viewing experience, and one that acknowledges the history and significance of the Black upper class. Go to Full Review Glenn Garvin Reason Online Sep 27, 2021
Mostly the problem with Our Kind of People is its silly parlor-game sensibility. Go to Full Review Dominic Patten Deadline Hollywood Daily Sep 23, 2021
Pure Dynasty sparkled with Revenge, which even with the on-camera skills of Morris Chestnut and Joe Morton quickly becomes a rudimentary case of "spot that plot." Go to Full Review Read all reviews
