Overview The first season ends without much in the way of grand gestures or storyline and in many ways that is what seems appropriate. Review (with Spoilers) It is kind of weird for a season finale to not end on a cliffhanger, wrap up major stories, or be anything but just another episode. Admittedly, in…
Overview Van returns and she takes Earn to a fancy party. A fancy party featuring rich Black people who could provide her some kind of opportunity. Here is hoping she gets one cause bills need to be paid. Review (with Spoilers) I often have, well at least as of late, mixed feelings about this show….
Overview One quick and easy way for an entertainer to make money is to go to the club. However, between the club owner and Alfred learning that he isn’t that big of a draw, the usual drama ensues.

Overview In a largely Vanessa focused episode, we see the struggles she is going through compared to her friends, and partly thanks to Earn.
