A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Definitely a Keeper! Almost wanted to subscribe to cable channel just to ensure I did my part to keep on cable listing. I viewed Season 1 & 2 on DVD and seriously debating on whether to sign up for Starz for just this one show.Will confess it's not for everyone and definitely NOT a family show. If you like Ballers than it's on par. If you like Power than it's on par. If you like shows like Cheers/etc, stay away or watch with open-mind....

Bust out every cliché possible, and that's what you have with this series. You could call it an African-American version of "Entourage", perhaps. And that's not a good thing. The target audience for this show has to be young wannabes, because anyone with a brain would laugh AT it—not with it. The writing is terrible; the acting is laughable (especially the female characters, sorry to say). Re-watch "The Wire" or something instead of wasting your time on this. Seriously, there isn't a single redeeming quality to the series. Deserves a "zero", in truth. It's kind of sad how certain "celebrities" can attach their names to something, and it will sell—regardless of quality. This is just another example of that social phenomenon, except this time it's not just a can of bland soda or a pair of overpriced headphones: It's hours of your life that could be spent more productively.

I stumbled upon this show just yesterday while I was binge watching Power (I just got Starz y'all). This show is amazingly written well. I like the unpredictability of it. Most shows I'm like, yeah I know what's about to happen. I like the subtle comedy of it all. The actors on this show are amazing and nothing seems forced everything happens all matter-of-fact. I hope this last awhile because this is a great show. I love how this is not a stereotypical Black show, the characters could all be White and I would enjoy it all the same. I'm almost done with most of the shows at this point and they are awesome to say the least.

It has been noted that there has been a recent surge in TV shows prominently featuring blacks or with predominately black casts. Some are pretty good but most are just bad - like most TV fare these days. After viewing the first two episodes, I'll state that this one is not too bad. More "dramedy" than "comedy" which is not particularly a bad thing. It will just need time to fully develop its voice.The writing is good. The acting is natural and not overplayed like some kind of urban passion play and there's a little subtlety there. They're going after familiar issues but keeping it entertaining and engaging without that TV show proselytizing that can drag it down.To juxtapose this show against another one I just recently watched also, "Black-ish" seems to have a better cast working with similar themes but tries too hard to do what "Survivor's Remorse" did without cardboard cut-outs. This show has a chance to be really good if given a chance.
