"The Quad" takes viewers inside the culture-rich world of Georgia A&M, where newly elected president Dr. Eva Fletcher has her hands full managing a modern-day HBCU and its entering freshman class. As she juggles those demanding responsibilities -- and a messy personal life -- her rebellious daughter Sydney tries to make her mark on campus. She's an up-and-coming rap artist, who leads the first-year students along with Bojohn, the school's first white starting quarterback. Eva's allies include history department Dean Ella Grace and football coach Eugene Hardwick. Eva must learn to deal with Art Diamond, the charismatic yet ruthless head of Georgia A&M's prestigious marching band.

To Wertmller, silly gender terrorist, I say basta. To the Quad, I say welcome back - and more, please. Go to Full Review Dani Levy Variety 02/01/2017
Despite its shortcomings, The Quad has enough quirks and personality to be somewhat addictive to those who like these workplace-dramas. Go to Full Review Mike Hale New York Times 02/01/2017
We'll have to wait and see how Ms. Henderson and her fellow producers develop the potentially entertaining and provocative situations they've set up. In the meantime, it should be fun to watch Ms. Rose. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 02/28/2017

Soapy drama shows all sides of the black college experience. Go to Full Review Ken Tucker Yahoo! TV 02/01/2017
The Quad does a good job of toggling back and forth between the grown-up tensions within the school faculty, and the escapades of the student body Go to Full Review Read all reviews

02/03/2020 I love the tv show bet the quad where can I get the dvd See more 01/24/2018 One of the best show I’ve seen in a very long time. It should have way more than 42%. I mean I would think so??????? See more 03/22/2017 the worst representation of an HBCU. the unwary would believe this is what happens at an HBCU and hidden messages are used alot to change a culture in a negative way See more 03/16/2017 This is a deplorable excuse for television show. The characters were caricatures, stereotypes, and/or dull. It's like the started with one show, watched Empire, and then decided to make it an HBCU of the Fox hit. The writing was stiff and unengaging. The storylines failed to capture my interest and make me want to tune in and watch to see what will happen later. This is a major fail for the "new BET" and will go down as utterly forgettable in television history, particularly black television history. Save your mind and sensibilities and find something more engaging to watch during this hour. See more 02/02/2017 Fantastic show, no wonder The New York Times named it one of 15 must-see series for 2017! Hugely entertaining, great performances and sharp writing that delivers thrill-a-minute plot turns and twists to keep you on the edge of your seat ... while dealing head-on with some of today's hottest social topics! A hit! See more Read all reviews
