Oh, the drama of it all! The lead character is a study in the dating and professional life of a young Black woman, though this show has appeal for a much wider audience. While my dating days are long gone, I so relate to her heartbreaks, questionable choices, and wading through family dynamics, and how they are all intertwined.
It's a beautiful inside look at Queenie's emotional sort of coming-of-age, and contains layers that set off laughter, tears, and fears. It's raw and drew me in completely about halfway through the first episode. I stayed up until nearly four in the morning to finish the season, and was still sad it was over.
The cast is fantastic, and many of these characters are like my own friends and family with different accents, lol. There's an overbearing aunt and grandmother, a doting grandfather, and a fiercely protective best friend, along with other peripheral characters that are well-developed and that you'll definitely form your own opinions about. It is more than worth the watch.
