I give Zatima 8/10 for the first season. I thought that Jake should have been in Zatima instead of Bryce. Tyler threw me by letting the baby being Zac. Fatima have to let Zac be the man and step back and Zac has to stay strong. Angela know that Bryce is on the downlow. Bryce and Valeria is working together. I was not disappointed with the first season of Zatima. Hope season 2 don't take long to come back on. Hope in season Zac go for full custody of his baby. I am surprised that Tyler is bring kids into the sitcom. If Zac and Fatima make it and they try to have kids she won't be able to get pregnant because of her abortion.

Warning: Spoilers
Pros:
The leads are very talented and they seem natural on screen which makes the show easy to watch.
They have a beautiful home and I love a good set. I watched it mostly to see the house.
The plot is great until a certain point. 😭 Then it just gets out of control.
Cons:
THE PLOT-after whatever episode his insufferable brother and mother are introduced.
Then there's this random girl from childhood who has absolutely nothing going for herself who Zach used to be crazy about. At some point, they hint at the girl being a drug user. She can't keep it in her pants and makes a million attempts to hunch on him. Like, BE SERIOUS. 💀
Then, there's the unhinged neighbor. As much as I want to laugh at her ridiculousness, she only got hurt because she was trespassing, so her whole existence on the show is dragged for reasons only Jesus knows and she became mildly annoying.
The cons aren't enough to prevent me from watching obviously, but if Season two ain't 'Seasoning,' then I'm giving up on my brother in Christ for sure.

I admire the portrayal of black love in Zatima. Though some may believe that there is too much drama going on, I beg to differ. Zatima follows a couple whose relationship is faced with many adversities and obstacles, yet they collectively attack each obstacle to save their relationship. This is a true display of what a relationship actually entails. No relationship is perfect, where there are aren't any hindrances, but every relationship should be a partnership collectively dealing with any and every intrusion that may try to hinder their union. This is one of the many things I love about Zatima.

sharondavid-530338 October 2022
I love how raw and connected it is. For me it's relatable from both sides. And it shows a beautiful love story. No it's not perfect but it's real. And I love the dynamic of Zac and Fatima's relationship. I love how connected they are and it's something that's deeper then them. I connect with Fatima because I'm that person who's always strong for everybody but hide my own emotions. I love love but also run from love. I tell my sister all the time that I really have to be mentally stable for a relationship. And for Zac I understand him because I come from brokenness and pain. I just love me some Zatima. Can't wait to see what comes next.
CHIILLLEEEE WHEN I TELLLLL YOU.

I MADE AN ACCOUNT JUST TO MAKE A REVIEW BAAABBBBBBBYYYYYYYY I LOVE THIS SHOW SOOOOO MUCH. TYLER DID HIS THING !!!!!!! I love this show. SEASON 2 need to hurry up !!!! Put me as Zatima better friend on the series or SOMETHING. I love this show so much. Everyone need to watch it. Zatima 2 is the greatest show on tv. It jumps off from Season 5 Sistas. I suggest watching Sistas on bet before you watch Zatima so you can fully get the whole relationship and how it started. Omggggg such a good show. The show gives raw and intense scenes. I love it so much.
Watch it on bet plus to get the show in full since the season is over.

Predictable
Jello-Shots27 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
These scenes drag on for waaaayyyy too long and the one and only story line is spoon predictable. Then there's too much of immature stripper mess, with Zac always getting in trouble constantly. That story line is tired and really needs to come to an end. This is not what I was hoping for for Zac and Fatima. It would be nice to see grown Afr Ame couple with mature story lines for once. Help set a good example for the AA community, and stop with the improper immature ratchetness. Then, there's the friends who are all sus and shady. The whole show is disappointing to me. I had high hopes for this show, but the standards are very low here.

Easily one of the best shows to primer this Fall season! It not only showcases the joy that comes with black love, it also explores the complexities that often come with being in a new relationship. Fatima and Zac have to navigate all the personal baggage they each bring to the relationship as well as external factors such as relationships with friends in family that play an integral part in the success of their relationship. Crystal and Devale are doing a phenomenal job in making the audience connect with the stories of their characters. The chemistry that the two share is undeniable and play a great part in why we love the couple so much. I know I can't wait for what else this show has in store for us!
What is the point of this Spinoff?
jackofalltale2 February 2023
What's the point of this Spin-off? Their story can continue in the main show. Much like Ruthless from The Oval. Almost as if someone is owed favours so a Spin-off is the way to pay. I don't believe Sistas needed a spin-off about relationship issues of a particular couple. Don't we get enough of that already from the main show?
Also, can we get a series about something else other than relationship drama, stripping and what not? It's getting old.
We already have enough of Zac and Fatima in every Sistas episode. What's next? Gandi? Pranny? Calvina?
This Sistas is beginning to make the Oval look like a thriller series.

I am a Ellis family fan
sophisticatedladyconsultant8 October 2022
As a Devale Ellis fan I had to support and I am glad I wasn't disappointed. I do wish the storyline would go in a different direction, but so far I am happy with the execution. The characters Zac and Fatima give us the perfect mix of love, drama and comedy. To be able to branch off from Sistas and do their own thing without missing a beat is commendable. Truthfully, I like Zatima better because I feel like it's not as much satire as some of TP other shows. These two are relatable and you can see yourself in these characters. While I also love Crystal, I can't wait to see Devale and Khadeen get their own show.

margaritamornez14 October 2022
I give this show a 10/10. I've watched both of the main characters ( Crystal & Devale) grow so much from Sistas to Zatima. They are such amazing actors and play they role too well. Let's not forget the rest of the actors they brought to Zatima. Each and everyone of these actors put so much effort in their role and give the people something they can relate to. Out of all Crystal is and will always be my favorite. To Tyler Perry and the Tyler Perry Studio, Crystal, Devale, Angela, Belinda, Nathan, Tony and Bryce job well done!!!!!!! If anybody deserve an award at the BET Awards, tuh it's you all.
Zack and Fatima !!!!!!
shanicekilpatrick2 November 2022
I swear aside of Karen's mess on sistas Zac and Fatima are my main reason for loving sistas and zatima even more. Please keep the episodes and seasons coming PLEASE! They are great actors and a great couple on the show and I'm so excited to see where their story goes in a way I'm mad I'm caught up because I just want to keep watching it back to back instead of waiting for a new episode but it keeps me looking forward to something lol. I even got my husband to start watching sistas, now I need to put him on to zatima, he probably tired of my shows but this is one I know he will definitely be interested in.

I love this show and everything about it. I am and always will be team #Zatima. Their chemistry is unbelievable i love Crystal and Devale aka Fatima & Zac. I can't wait to see what more is to come in Season 2 and so on. I'll definitely be watching and cheering them on all the way. This is definitely my favorite show of 2022. Thank you to Tyler Perry and everyone who made this possible y'all are the real MVP's. Black love at its finest I love it and I want more of it. To the rest of the cast y'all are amazing as well. #TeamZatima #RealLove. It is the best thing next to Sistas. My 2nd favorite show. TP is a genius.
Zatima!
dhakiyah-7173514 October 2022
Zatima is a spin off from Sistas that follows Zac and Fatima. It give us a deeper look and understanding to these two amazing characters and their relationship. While there is chaos and problems we also get to see the love and good times. Zac and Fatima are still the same but with this show we get more of them and we get to explore their past. We get to meet their friends and family and we see a deeper look at Fatima's relationship with her ex that made her put her walls up. I am here for this show it is toooooo good I wish Season 1 had more than 10 episodes. This show is going to be huge of your not watching yet you better go watch now!!!! It's giving modern day Martin and Gina. I pray this show has many seasons.

WOW! Amazing!
AshAshB24 October 2022
Zatima is a MUST watch. It is an amazing show with a great cast. Devale and Crystal do an amazing job leading this show. Zac and Fatima are like the modern day Martin and Gina. I would definitely recommend watching. Once you do, you will be hooked! Great acting from everyone, exciting storylines, and shows a great depiction of two people who love each other just trying to navigate life's ups and downs while still trying to love each other, grow, and stay together. Watching them from Sistas, most people wanted them to have their own show & now they do!!! Completely thankful, Tyler Perry really has something special with Zac and Fatima. I could watch this show all day!
Best Show !!! Great Cast!!!
jfleurmond22 October 2022
Just to be clear I don't even watch shows - this is literally first show I give a try , and I was very surprised and extremely interested to watch the next episodes. The characters just like the stories that are happening in every episode make you be so curious what's about to happen. I love the twist between drama and comedy combine together. I can't wait for the next season to come out , I think that this will be a very popular show for a while because it's so fun to watch it while you laugh one moment and next second something dramatic and unexpected happen which spice up the vibe of the show. Excellent job from the actors and props to Tyler Perry for creating a master piece. 💯
Entertainment with real life situations
masteralim-2286323 October 2022
Loved Zac and Fatimah in Sistas, so Zatimah really got me on the edge of my seat. I'm in a beautiful 4 year relationship, married for a year and a half. In our day to day life there's a lot of drama that happens that can potentially threaten our relationship. As we watch Zatimah we get to see similar trials and tribulations that Fatimah and Zac not only go through, but get through. "It's inspiring and very enjoyable to watch".
Tyler Perry and crew did there thing!!! I feel that most black people can relate to the storyline. In my opinion, Tyler is giving us good entertainment while giving us helpful advice and therapy.
Thanks Tyler,

I mean...it's Zac and Fatima!!!
dajmichsaw26 December 2022
I only kept watching Sistas because of Zac and Fatima!!!! Thank you for this spin-off TB! I just love seeing their love for one another! This black love is heart-warming for reasons of the come up. Yea there is violence and dramatization, maybe the other casts can't hold water to Zac and Fatima, but those two are a must watch show with the chemistry! I want all the success for them and I enjoy them always finding a way to come out on top. If anyone doesn't like it, they are either mad or haven't really followed them on Sistas. They were the only ones that didn't repeat their same lines and had true chemistry.
Awesome
oliverwifey22 October 2022
Zatima is another one of Tyler Perry's best known works, which gives us more insight into both Zac and Fatima backgrounds than we wouldn't expect to see from Sisters due to there being so many unique personalities cast members and the show actually focuses more on the friendship between the women and their storylines. I just love the fact that Zatima gives the characters their own characters to shine while also not revealing to much about what to expect from the characters on the show of Sisters. Tyler never fails when it comes to plot twists and turns when he is writing each character's story.
Zatima is real...
janetpking-3573322 October 2022
This show is real to life and keeps the audience anticipating the next week of shows being released! The cast is stellar; a talented group of stars. Thanks to each of you who put in the work to help us connect to your roles. Devale Ellis and Crystal Renee Hayslett as the leading man and leading lady are amazing!!! The reoccurring characters like, Angela, Bryce, Belinda, Nathan, Tony, Deja, Heather and Valerie the realtor are killing their roles too. I am looking forward to Season 2 and hope that we do not have to wait too long for the next ten episodes to be released by BET+ and Tyler Perry Studios!
Zatima has more drama than sistas

Amazing show.
sieedacrump14 October 2022
I am pleasantly surprised at how good this show is. I've been thoroughly entertained. The love story that's being portrayed between the 2 main characters is beautiful to watch. The show is spicy, funny, and intriguing. The cinematography is amazing. The acting is amazing, and the story telling is amazing. The first 2 episodes started off with a bang and it's only gotten better from there. I am anxiously awaiting episodes 9&10. I am so interested in seeing where this couple goes next. I was so pressed for this show that I paid for Bet plus even though I had it through Amazon prime. And then I paid for Apple TV because it comes on 3 hours earlier on that streaming service. This show is worth every penny though. This fan is extremely satisfied. I am hoping for many more episodes and seasons of Zatima. Keep it coming!!!
I like this spin off // BUT Black Hair Spray
henrymacklin15 January 2024
I like this spinoff for I think it will evolve into some Zatima gangster stuff. I'm going to stick with it. I really like her and Zack together. What I don't like is the BLACK spray they keep spraying on Zack's head it looks gross on closeup screens let him be who he is we accept that. Instead on carrying over the BLACK spray used on Tyler Perry's head to Zack. Again it sucks stop doing him like that Again Zack is cool just the way he is.
The interactions with Devale feels on point the hair makeup from Shornell, Priya, or maybe colorist Christ Jacobson. Is what off point the actors and actresses should be presented in there best light. Thank you
Note: I'm glad on Zatima they speak a little faster that slow speaking of lines makes my head hurt waiting for the next line.

ZATIMA for the WIN
rsqxkjcv22 October 2022
This show is absolutely the BEST!!!!! TP let's keep it running. It's a cross between Girlfriends, Martin Lawrence, Living Single all wrapped into one. So much drama and so many real meaningful story lines with a twist of crazy and some real deep moments. The show touches on a lot of issues and challenges that we see in our own everyday lives. I just wish Tyler would have made the number of episodes 21 instead of 11. We need more because there is so much that we can learn from each character and whatever secret issues they have. If I could rate it 100 percent I would let's GO Release SEASON 2, 3 and on.
Black love and life of today
takwhi22 October 2022
Where can I began the show gives me everything from laughs, tears, happiness, joy and anger. It gives me life nothing watered down but everything that we all long for go through and can overcome. I love to see black love at its finest and see that everyday obstacles of the past and present can be overcome due to the strength of love, friendship and accountability. I am constantly rewatching a episode because I can't get enough of Zatima. I feel as though I am experiencing every event that each character goes through which leaves me craving for the next episode and the next and now the new season.
