not as good as all the hype

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Shocked by all the bad reviews. I know a trailer park isn't everyone's cup of tea. But I loved it and hope there is more. As jacked up as it is. It's more like reality in the hood. Tyler knows what he's doing

Wow. I am wondering how these actors got their gig w/ Perry. I mean, I cannot tell whose acting is worse...actually yes I can: that Fabio looking guy. it's like he doesn't know what to do with himself while reciting the same lines over and over and over again. He also reminds me of someone who has either worked in porn or would be more suitable to work in porn. And how is it possible that almost every main guy character is SUPER ripped? I mean, come on! Anna has no backbone and keeps saying "sorry" over and over and over again. Heather Locklear's makeup was AWFUL. She looked terrible! Whoever did her makeup ought to be fired. I don't know what happened, but I don't see this show lasting too long.

I like the story line, but this show suffers more from script and directing issues than from poor acting. No one on this show is so bad that his/her performance can't be helped with better writing and directing. I'd go as far to say that of the two, the writing is the greater handicap - especially when it comes to disagreements between characters. There doesn't seem to be any commitment to depth - just overplay the lines. To assume your audience at large is shallow enough to buy into dialogue that even a soap opera wouldn't touch is a loss for everyone. I don't just want eye candy - I want heart and soul, and that has to exist in the script and in the direction. Even the best actors can only do so much.

Possible & Vague Spoiler Below: wanted to like this show but like most Tyler Perry productions: it sucked. Tyler Perry has produced some good shows, plays and movies in the past like "Diary of A Mad Black Women" but years later his fame has died down. His writing And directing has gotten very lazy. I really feel like he is just a name now and feels like he can half do his job just for a quick check.The story line is so typical and stereotypes Southern whites as racist homophobes with no sense of liberation. It is a preconceived view of Southern whites through the eyes of a minority American. Racism exists everywhere, not just in the South. As someone else mentioned "the acting is horrible and the writing is almost like it was written by a child or a 7th grader.I'm gonna not watch the show and hope that it gets canceled, so that Tyler Perry can get the message that he can't just serve us anything. He needs to find another career or step his game up.
