Single Ladies Season 2 Episode 1 Review

So I took some time to get up close and personal with the new episode of "Single Ladies" in their second season. You know I had to tell you all what I think....why? Cause I feel like it.
I was not impressed with the way they passively covered Valerie and her disappearance from the show. I was shocked at how the producers took the time to just take her situation and place it on the low list of priority to make the new show valid.
Now I could be wrong maybe they totally forgot that Val was cuddled up with the ex while she opened up her apartment door and found the man she loved standing on bended knee to ask for her hand. Are we supposed to forget that? Well I guess in TV land this is the way it is.
Let's talk about the script......it seemed choppy.....I dunno I believe an actor should be natural but even hand gestures in the episode aggravated me. Take for instance when Racquel's fiance is called out in a room full of people for being unfaithful , she walks off the stage and he stands there saying nothing but holding his hands up as if to tell the crowd who is not looking at him by the way to "calm down". Yeah....RIGHT.
So we pour champagne on a perfectly good dress to say good bye to a woman who has left her entire store to her girls so she can hang out in Milan? Hmmmmm still confused.
The flow seems off and that confuses me a bit. But then I think back to when the show started last year I started watching it to make sure I wanted to watch it at all and show black actors some support with my viewing eyes.
I want a touch of fantasy of some sort I guess but I guess this is slipping a bit. I thought for a minute I was watching a knock off of the eighties hits soap series "Dynasty" or "THE BOLD THE BLACK AND THE BEAUTIFUL" I shudder to think. Shout out to Robert Townsend for that though.

Maybe I am just being too real but Keisha played by Lisa Raye is a believable character because she is a real estate agent with not a lot of houses under her belt, she is a loyal soul sister girlfriend with a mess of a man in her life that has her nose wide open and in legal trouble. Let not forget how she has a sordid past of dancing in music videos to make money and how she gambles to make her money. I dig that I know people like that seriously.  People who are trying to get it right but one way is too easy and familiar? Yeah I like Keisha. But now.. the FBI agent being able to follow her around was getting old quick.

April well I know about concert promoting and night club promotion. Poor thing in real life if  you were doing this in the ATL you would be broke until you booked the event, paid your folks and the bartender and your acts. You would have on jeans and a ponytail, carry a  back pack with a laptop in it so you could work wherever you are and a Smartphone at the ready to communicate all of the time. You would have a team of street folks all over posting up fliers and you most definitely would not be booking Big Boi. You would be booking Keisha Jackson and her powerhouse vocal ability would be bringing the house down. Unless she (April) is in that click ...ah but what do I know ....give me a touch of reality. PLEASE just a touch and keep it real. Booking ANYTHING of good substance and talent in the ATL is a challenge but then this IS TV right? Back off Y've.

New girl lets get to her....Raquel.....Lancaster is it? Wow ....
You that rich girl? I dunno I am going to have to take some time and check out the next couple of episode.
I will be honest with you I love the clothes and the style....I do...so I will keep watching cause Lisa Raye can rock some cute outfits!
I won't give up on them just yet cause there is no cat fighting, no cursing each other out and no spitting around the world. The acting my be not be the greatest, the storyline a bit choppy but you know for the other shows they have on the same network about Black women I'm going to stick around and show some support. So I will give the show my honest opinion while Omar is confused officially about his sexuality.




Til next time,

Y've
