Harlem born and raised so I was looking forward to watching this. I didn't make it past the first 15 minutes. They crammed so many stereotypes in already. I'm honestly offended. Loud, rude, trifling women who may be successful but are overcompensating in a struggle to gain status as bad*sses. I was hoping for Black Girl Magic and got Black Girl Tragic. Cursing out potential business partners, being jerks in movie theaters, and treating restaurant workers like trash is not funny. And don't get me started on Angie and her freeloading self. She is the absolute worst. The heavier, darker-skinned, "sassy" friend trope is so played out. I wish they had respected the actress enough to write her role differently. My friends and I don't behave this way and these are not the kind of women I would want in my circle. I don't see myself becoming invested in their lives as they are so unlikeable. Very disappointing since I was looking for something new now that Insecure has ended.
