10/10
Incredibly well written

It's really difficult to pick one good thing about this show in my opinion. The cast feels so real, like they're not pretending to have a certain personality, it's their real self that they have on the screen. The storyline is very well written around each of the character's personality, stories inside the story of the show have these super artsy concepts of presenting thoughts and meaning of their art. All show characters are conditioned to live fearlessly. They don't care about money, they don't care about holding down a job, they just care about their happiness, which feels like a crazy concept sometimes, because I really worry what I'll do if I don't have my job tomorrow. Character development for Issa has been like she awakened to believe in herself and that she transformed from this working lady to an entrepreneur. They really explain how powerful it can be to "believe" in yourself, in your people and in your values. I can kinda see her vision here, and it's incredible. Her awakening was also realistic, like she didn't just become a millionaire, but she tried, she learned, and earned a small amount of fame from that, and then she expanded that to a business. The end is not about money, the end is being able to connect to people. And connecting to people is the core belief of her business. She's connecting her community with people. And she's thinks world sees African-Americans differently, and that it should not be the case. So through her business she's connecting the world to her community. There's no "depending" toxicity among the characters which is really refreshing. All female characters are extremely independent / reliable. For Lawrence he develops into that. Nathan is independent and reliable, that makes him a soft guy. Which is really realistic as well 😐.

Overall, I will probably watch this again, I'll tell my people to watch it too. It's very entertaining and I feel educated and more aware in a way.
