Queens S01E08-E09 480p WEBRip x264
...on the third episode, it went downhill faster than a chubby white boy trying to rap while chowing down a burger. Now it feels more like a bad rap version musical of Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist - which I'm shocked even lasted two seasons. Sure, some raps are decent, but the overacting, cringe attitudes and body language the characters are displaying is 1980's ghetto. The only thing missing is the "oh, snap!" Then having the beautiful Nadine Velazquez as pretty much the only non-black actor - clearly just to be woke, and having her act like a hood queen, is cringe. The performances in general are too phony and forced, especially the Nasty Bit*hes persona. This show pretty much went from being classy with a great concept for the pilot, to a predictable hood version rap soap opera musical with every possible cliche. The only thing left is to rap all dialogue and call this a musical. I'll bet the networks will be dropping this mess faster than a chubby white boy chowing down a burger, and end up on BET, where it belonged in the first place. It's a generous 3/10 from me, only because I enjoyed the pilot.
