Expected from Tyler Perry's work; overused laugh track, overacting and rancorous humor. And he delivers! The main character, Hattie, can be likable. However, the acting of the supporting cast, namely Drew and Sam are caricatures. Sam reminds me of a poorly done impersonation of Jim Carrey. The character Drew is so over the top, she is unbelievable. Most of the time the characters stand around waiting to deliver lines and never appear to be doing anything during the course of their interaction. In the workplace of Danny, Drew and Sam, we never see a boss, a phone ring, clients, other employees or work being done. All three are adults, but they across as teenagers with no responsibilities. They don't exhibit any familial commitments, outside interests or backstory. I think the show could develop into something interesting if they rearrange the dynamics of Danny, Drew and Sam or eliminate Sam and Drew all together.
I like this show and feel it has the makings of good staple for OWN. Comedy seems to be one of the genres Mr. Perry does best and with some tweaking and time, I believe this will become a show I look forward to watching.
