Tyler Perry is perhaps the WORST director/producer/writer on TV today. This is the second - and last - time I get roped into one of his shows. The premise always starts off interesting, but then the acting just gets worse and worse. This show had the potential to be a nice little mini-series. Relevant topic - political corruption/affairs in the White House with lunatic, evil, vindictive First Lady (can you say Bill & Hillary?) - with the added twist of the small-town dysfunctional family, and redneck drug dealers running amok. But
The same lines are repeated so many times, that it seems like the whole story could have been told in just a few episodes. This repetitive line technique - used in the "other" Tyler Perry I started, but couldn't stand to finish - is just a stall tactic to stretch out a simple story into countless episodes. His "If Loving You Is Wrong" series is even worse! Never again!
