"Going to the store"
bmichaeljazz29 November 2021
In The Haves, The Oval, and now Ruthless, Tyler's lines go like this: "Are you going to the store?" "Yes, I'm going to the store." "Why are you going to the store?" "Because I want to" "Are you sure the store is where you are going?" " I SAID I was going to the store and that's where I'm going" "I don't really believe you're going to a store." "Well then where do you think I'm going?"

Once Tyler stops doing this mess, his shows will be PERFECT. They are entertaining as all hell, but he really should listen to Oprah and hire writers. No offense Tyler, we love you. But stop trying to write your own scripts.

3 dollar budget show
yuukiidon18 December 2022
Warning: Spoilers
What is tyler perry on? A 3 dollar budget? The acting is horrible. But it's interesting. In every tyler perry film, the woman is beaten on and taught to respect a man. Be a slave to a man. I'm now convinced that he likes his women like this. It's disgusting and wrong. Warning, it's a lot of Rape and sexual assault. Tyler perry could've done better with the actors. The highest acts like Bella Swan... Ruth is good at acting and so is Lynn's cousin and Andrew. Ruth wasn't pregnant after the coronation. Why didn't she get pregnant after sleeping with the highest? You can't fake a pregnancy........

Left me hanging
joylawson-7218228 June 2023
I am so disappointed in this short-series. I recently had foot surgery and decided on this series to watch. I made it thru Season 4 only to find that the series abruptly ended. It was poorly designed and ended with no real explanation and no real ending.

Even if he does renew, I will not watch. A complete waste of time once you get past season 2.

The story has a repetitive nature and never comes close to an end. How Many times can Andrew leave and come back. On Season 4, they talk about the FBI us coming. We see Andrew fighting his way back in, then it's over.

I will make sure to read all reviews before I watch any more series wit TP.

This show is doesn't answer any questions
daeshaanm30 March 2021
For some god forsaken reason, I sat through 31 episodes of this show and the pacing is just too slow. So many repetitive conversations that go on and on and 95% of the characters are so stupid or just unlikable that you really don't feel attached to any of them. At least it's sister show "The Oval" can be watched as a dark comedy because of its ridiculous plot developments or it's cliche characters, but this show is so dark that you can't really enjoy this show in the same way.

The acting is atrocious...
biancob-1670215 November 2020
The acting in this show and the dialogue are absolutely atrocious. Each scene just drags on and on and on.

Do I have to give any stars???
briggstiff12 April 2022
Bad acting! Sick minded script writing! It's like they are reading straight from a script and repeating the same things over and over. And forgetting what happened in the previous scene or episode. Like why ask if she took a bath when you were right there with her watching her. This needs to end real soon and I bet if we stopped watch it it would. I wanted to see how it ended hoping it would on a good note. But I decided today that I will not watch this sick show anymore. I can't support this anymore I don't care who wrote or produced it. I really hope the actor and actresses are able to find other jobs after this. The storyline is so dark they must have a real hard time sleeping at night. They will need therapy after this and some real training on acting.

Show is dark but really good
cjcume27 March 2020
I didn't know what to expect but I'm happy I tuned in. My free 7 days ran out but I'm going to pay for it as I need to see where this goes! Love Lenny's character Dikahn, Jaime M. Callica as Brian (his wife is a bit crazy, need to see what happens there) and Yvonne Senat Jones... Very believable. Great job, Tyler Perry

Loved the first 3 episodes!
lauramachi25 March 2020
Loved this show! The first episode caught my interest and each episode that followed left me wanting to watch more. Don't know about Agent Rollins' wife just showing up at the cult compound like she did, didn't find that super believable, but otherwise, I loved the show and the characters. I especially found Jaime Callica's portrayal of Agent Rollins to be believable, likable and fantastic. Can't wait to watch every week!

Great but....
cindykblogs30 April 2021
Conceptually this is a fantastic show. Tyler has great ideas, but the dialogue....oh my goodness it's horrible. You could get so much more show in an episode with better dialogue. The "hello's" on every entry, The "I know's", the "Yes'", the awkward pauses, are exhausting and really destroys a show that could be great. Tyler needs to get writers, a writers room. They could bring his genius to another level. You can't be good at everything Mr. Perry, IJS. Dialogue is not your strong suit and that's okay, you are still amazing and very much respected. Just recognize and acknowledge where others can help you.

Tedious.
eighthlettermedia6 April 2021
You can tell the dialogue was written by one person, run unchecked. Two people will argue and go through every variation of the exact same question and answer. This pads the scenes to well over how long they would normally go in a properly written show. The plot is stretched out to put it at 24 episodes a season. Mind you, I only watched the first 7 episodes before I bowed out. I just can't continue. It gets one star out of the respect I have for what Tyler Perry has done overall and one for the beautiful women on the show.

GIVE IT A CHANCE
nccugirl13 April 2021
Okay. I know there are some bad reviews. You have to give it a chance. The story line is crazy and it lures you in. Yes, some of the actors aren't the best BUT some are good. Ruth is a very hood actor along with more. It shows like a book. It makes you think that they're place out there like this. Also, when you think about some of the crazy stuff we have seen, it makes since that a show is out here like this. Please give it a chance.

Am I being punked?
qtnana-9280828 November 2021
This show is SERIOUSLY lacking. The "acting" is garbage, and I can't wrap my mind around the idea that TP doesn't know that it's garbage. I mean really? How does BET feel about peddling this trash? Do they even care that this type of programming hurts their image? Or does the money drown out the terrible dialogue? As I attempted to watch this series, in stunned silence, I expected Ashton Kutcher to jump out and say that I was being punked. There's no way the positive reviews on here are real. No way!!! Do better TP, do better.

Absolute garbage as usual
Cat411727 May 2021
This mess is no different from all the rest of the hot garbage he puts out. Couldn't even get past one episode til I changed the channel. The people giving this show 8/10-10/10 are from his camp. There is no way in hell a person could sit and watch this and give it more than one star. Hell if I could I wouldn't give it any stars!! I keep asking myself how he is able to put out one horrible show after another. I still haven't got the answer. If I hear one more person say "but he's employing our people" I'm gonna scream! I don't support anyone who CONSTANTLY puts out such atrocious work. Just cause we black don't mean I gotta support him. PERIOD!!!

Disappointment
kerra-5751815 January 2021
The acting is horrible. The storylines drag on, and the dialogue is so horrible I cannot even understand how there are so many episodes. I am so disappointed in this series especially since this is a TP show.

Keeps you wanting more
krozee27 March 2020
Yet another Tyler Perry hit! His writing and story telling never disappoints! I have to point out the exceptional acting of Jaime M Callica! Not only is is awesome to see a Canadian out there, but his character is both believable and very well played. The shirtless scenes aren't hard to watch either 😉. I can't wait to watch more and see what happens with his case and his wife too!

I'm convinced these 9/10 and 10/10 reviews were given by Tyler's friends and cast members
tlp060712 November 2020
There is a way to explore human depravity and religious zealousness. This isn't it. The themes are severely overshadowed here by terrible acting, stilted writing, wooden dialogue, hap-hazard characterization, and a serious lack of sensitivity. Do yourself a favor: watch some documentaries on the subjects instead.

Exposing Deep-State and Hollywood!
darylthompson-4676124 April 2021
The reviews of this show are truly ignorant.

People don't realize what they're seeing in this show.

This show is NOT simply MADE UP out of NOWHERE!

This is EXACTLY what is going on in Government and the Entertainment Industry.

He is EXPOSING!

The release of THIS show and The Oval are TIMELY!

Open your eyes!!

Do your research!

Tyler Perry is SAVING the WORLD!!

🙏🏽

It looks low budget and lacks something ..usually with drama thrillas they have a start beginining and an end but for me this does not have either same thing each episode goind round in circles ..hreat acting lousy direction and production.

Not that bad...
nyikasimmons16 August 2022
I think this is a great show. You gotta have a knack for the dark stuff I guess. The acting really isn't that bad. You can tell the actors are new and probably just getting their foot in the door.. but they are not that bad ! The episodes and actors get better as the seasons go on. And I think the story line is good/interesting. You guys are so harsh on here . Haha.

Terrible Tyler; Just Terrible
islangurl27 January 2021
This show sucks so much. I wanted to try and like it cause Tyler's doing his thing. But this just sucked. The script, the bad background music, some scenes are unnecessarily long and lacks impact they thought that would have. I watched the 1st 3 but to go any further is just pointless. And it's not the story that appalls me it's the poor execution. Poor poor script. Cannot believe how poor the script is. There is so much silly unnecessary back and forth chatter. Had so much potential. I gave it 1 star because I couldn't post otherwise. The 10/10 reviews must be friends, family and those who got fed off this production. Some of the main actors weren't so bad but they had to play a lame script. I'm out. I'll wait for the next big Tyler Perry production.

Ughh...
iwillblowyourmind27 April 2021
I will keep this plain and simple just like the show...

The acting is bad.

The storyline/plot is bad and weak.

The nudity (gratuitous male frontal nudity and woman chest nudity) is unnecessary.

Sadly this "show", is being supported by BET and BET+ 👎👎👎
