Hot Mess-ish! The elephant is all over the room with this... I get the point love the actors & the family. It just so status focused it disgusting. Okay be the doctor/executive etc... yet not by all the narrative through out the show but by examples & life experiences shown through the show. Hope it gets better

This show is so fun to watch and each cast member is awesome. However this show falls apart without Charlie (Deon Cole). The talent he has is amazing and his back and forth with Diane (Marsai Martin) is amazing. I wish they would add more of them.
