About
You may like this if you want an emotional character-driven drama about career ambition, relationships, and family pressures, especially if Queen Sugar or Parenthood worked for you; Not for you if explicit sexual content and messy personal choices are dealbreakers.
Pros: relatable life struggles; strong emotional drama; family dynamics | Cons: repetitive later seasons; frustrating lead behavior; lots of explicit content
