Amazon Prime Original Harlem was interesting to watch I like the concept of the show but it felt like I was watching a updated version of Girlfriends, I like how the show talks about gentrification and 4 black women trying to make their lives better while living in Harlem NY.
I like some of the characters but Quinn story was not interesting Tye story was good because she a black lesbian woman trying to make a difference in the media business, dealing with racism, discrimination and trying to keep her marriage a secret from her best friends. Angie story was funny because she when from being a Pop singer to being in a Get Out Broadway play and she is also trying to deal with cultural appropriation from some of her co worker.
I really didn't care about Camille, Ian or Jameson because Episode 8 really show us what happen between Camille and Ian and it was a let down, and they are repeating the same thing with Camille and Jameson. Camille try way too hard with Dr. Elise Pruitt to get her dream job but Elise Pruitt was straight to the point with her about why she didn't give Camille the job.
The Episodes that I like are Pilot, Winter Solstice, The Strong Black Woman, Five Years Ago, Secrets and Once Upon a Time in Harlem but the ending of Once Upon a Time in Harlem was not good. The writing of the show was okay and it was fun to watch if the show gets a Season 2 I will watch it.
I give this show a 6.5/10
