    Meh

    So much is left to be desired with this show. The storyline is okay. Everything escalates so fast, there is absolutely no build up or working out the characters or the plot. The acting is subpar. The potential is there. Maybe the next season will have better writers and polishing.

    Absolutely NOT!

    I think the reviewers that are giving 7-10 stars are relatives of some of the actors. How did Morris and Joe sign on to this!?They have a good plot but the execution is horrible. The lead actress is lacking and over sells her role. Get new writers and new acting coaches! This shouldn't even make it past Season 1 at this rate!!

    They tried it

    I really wanted to like this show but it's a no for me. They cram too much into each episode. And they're trying their hardest to get the LGBT vote. The all black cast is beautiful but what's the point if the storyline perpetuates the stereotype that black families can't stay together? Ugh. I'm really disappointed.

    Too much Glam and Drama. Missing the balance

    I appreciate the idea of an all Black cast TV show. Sadly, Our Kind of People didn't impress me that much after first 5 episodes. There's just too much shiny in all things ,be it glamour or drama. I do appreciate Joe Morton as Teddy Franklin. So that's why I stopped watching this show after 5 episodes.

    Feels like the 80's

    Regardless of the color of the cast, all the back-stabbing made me feel like I was watching something from the late 70's or early 80's, like Dallas or Dynasty. I've always liked Joe Morton and thought Yaya Dacosta was good on Chicago Med. They deserve better.

    By the way, writers, at least do your research. Somebody was asked a character she had lived in Boston and she answered, "The East Side." There's no such neighborhood. The closest name is the traditionally Italian "East Boston."
