It is a beautiful story that connects you with the realities of the human condition. Well rounded in the way it captures every single aspect of the characters' lives. Showing family, love, pain, loss, tears, laughter, heartbreak.... The fullness of human emotions and experiences. Every single episode makes me cry! I hate Ava Duvernay for this😭😭😭

Incredible cinematography and acting

Love this show! So well written and well acted.

Fantastic, moving, emotional, funny exciting- great characters and acting
-
The first episode was awful. The musical soundtrack might be the worst I've ever heard. From soul to middle-of-the-road to U2 soundalike. The characters are so cliched, plot so predictable....at least I don't have to continue watching this tripe.
-
Finally a television show worthy of my time! I miss original storytelling and moments that linger in my memory!

Shonda Rhimes has already given us more sex soap than we need. Now Opera has to join the bottom of the barrel too?
