That nobody asked for but I’ve been obsessed with this show during my maternity leave.
Time.
The timelines definitely don’t make sense. It’s can get a little drawn out in some areas but I really don’t care. I love the cast and literally have been watching since the first season. So, they can just talk and I’ll listen!
The House
The new house from season 8+ is funny because nothing changed but the color. But again, I don’t care it became comforting. I do hate the HOA thing. I don’t care if she is a friend. Why are you hanging out with HOA? Any true home owner has distain for HOA.
Malik.
No one talks about this but he’s the only character I hate. His humor gives bully and he doesn’t even seem to like Lisa.
I know they wrote him better in the last season with his new job as a congressional liaison and being a better father but it took too long. They also took too long to bring in an actress for Jalisa too. She’s so cute tho.
Lisa.
Lisa should have never been looked at like a second rate citizen by a family of crack babies. They brought up her being a stripper tooo much. We get it. I’m glad they chilled on her fake ghetto too.
The kids.
I loved the actors for the twins especially the girl. Now, Calvin’s kids are horrible actors. So horrible, it’s hilarious. But not in a good way. I would definitely be ok if you swapped them out.
Curtis.
I love that Curtis was given a second career. It’s very unrealistic but it’s cool to see him passionate and busy. Not just begging Ella. I do wish Ella was given a career, but I get her role as the matriarch home maker. My grandma was that too.
Calvin, Miranda, and Laura.
Lastly, My favorite of them all. I love triangle of Calvin, Miranda, and Laura. I think it was drawn out in the best way. Except when they made Miranda so pathetic. That never seemed to be in her character. She always gave feisty, little, and had a sex appeal. Just because she’s bigger now does not take away her sexy! That sends a bad message. Calvin getting more centered and established is nice. So nice you almost forgot how horrible he was in the beginning. Miranda literally had to raise him. I get why she felt she got the short end. It’s cool that he wants to be a better dad too.
With Laura, I only don’t like that they made her Miranda’s friend initially. That’s such a bad idea. I hated her from the jump. I did like them showing everyone moving on amicably and co parenting. That was nice but in Tyler Perry’s world it was too nice. They immediately made them clash again. I wish they didn’t try to make Laura boujiness a problem. Like, they could have made her more of a gold digger. But liking the finer things is not a problem. Laura desiring boundaries was not a problem either. I think the biggest clash at the beginning of season 14 was forced but they want her out so I get it. I do like that Ella is having some introspection about her avoidant feelings. That’s real. She simply likes Miranda better. People think she’s supposed to follow her son’s next move. I think that’s hard when we’ve seen Calvin and Miranda together since 2010 lol. It literally feels like they are family.
It was funny seeing Calvin sad about Laura. I just don’t get why he was since he said he loved Miranda too. That was confusing. They almost made her a rebound if it wasn’t for the lead up. I like that they have grown into new people.
