What people are saying
Updated nightlyThis Tyler Perry soap has a wild premise about a corrupt first family, but most people find it a messy, hate-watch experience. The story gets slammed for being repetitive and absurd, and while a few performances like Kron Moore's Victoria Franklin stand out, the show is overwhelmingly seen as a guilty pleasure at best. The biggest talking point is Tyler Perry himself, with many viewers feeling his signature melodrama and pacing have worn thin over seven seasons. It's the kind of show you watch for the over-the-top drama, not for anything resembling quality.
