I doubted this show at first, because I have always been let down in the past with black film and television that dealt with certain topics. I honestly thought this was going to be a TV version of "The Cookout" NOT AT ALL! The writers are brilliant! The script is not cliché' and the story lines really delve into its title! We are not bombarded by overplayed basketball scenes. Yes you will hear a lot of cursing, but when you do, it is hilarious! It's not uncomfortable to hear because the acting is great! In this sense, profanity is not trying to replace humor, there is humor in the profanity. They go deep into what happens off the court and in the personal lives of the stars. The casting director is even more brilliant!! The cast has amazing chemistry. I love when the characters are brought to life as opposed to watching people just "say the words." They MASTER the mannerisms! Ron Reaco (Reggie) is the new Bae! lol. He kills this role and I hope to see his career blossom. His character sheds light on how to conduct business, knowing your worth, and the importance of controlling your finances so that your money can work as hard for you as you work for it! This is a good way to get the point across! The sister, (M Chuck) is funny, I don't care what anybody says. Mike Epps is at his best. Romeo Miller's Character was great! His acting has improved tremendously. I hope they bring him back next season. I also love seeing so many brown beauties playing female leads! Starz has a winner on their hands with this one! A++++
