It's a soap opera. If you think of it like a telenovela, you will better understand the show within this genre. I find it an entertaining guilty pleasure. The plots are so outlandish but in some ways art mimics life if you think about the shenanigans of the orange bozo in the White House and all of the havoc he brought upon this country. After a long day of putting out fires for others, it is wonderful to take a break and see what new creative plot twists have sprung from Tyler Perry's genius mind. It's still always a treat to see fully embodied multidimensional Black leads and supporting characters.
