Trivia
When the network informed the actors that the 20-episode season 4 was going to be shot in a row, Gabrielle Union sued BET because her contract stipulates that she won't film more than 13 episodes in a row without a proper break. Two months after the law suit, an agreement was reached between the parties.

Mildly realistic but also a mini train wreck

I watched the show to the end of season four but it did not stop being insufferable. I can appreciate that it shows mistakes and day to day realities that don't always have happy endings but this pushes the envelope. The only normalcy featured are her parents. Nicey is draining and just seems to be a glutton of punishment and Mary Jane continuously fumbles the ball when she could actually get the happiness she claims to want. And the way she was gung ho to knock her "idol" Ronda off air but kept rolling over and getting kicked out of her own office to beat the pavement for a story all because Justin told her so was embarrassing.
