Sistas (2019– ) User Reviews

Very Uneven

[DrMaxLaugh · 5/10 · 14 November 2019]

The tone of the show is very uneven. It switches between comedy and drama in a jarring manner, and many of the sets look cheap. I was looking forward to a show about black women in a positive light, but it seems that the women in this show based their lives around men and not themselves. Hopefully it will improve in time, but so far, I'm not impressed.

A knockoff of Girlfriends

[mtjohnson-18549 · 6/10 · 27 October 2019]

This is a boring remake of the show Girlfriends. I couldn't even make it through the first episode because it was boring, stiff acting and the same one dimensional characters that are just black stereotypes. Do yourself a favor and watch reruns of Girlfriends. The acting, writing and characters are better.

C'mon...

[teeviews · 5/10 · 25 May 2020]

There's a particular episode that was really bad but this show overall was not what I expected. The storyline is interesting but the acting and script is not the best. The constant awkward pauses and repeated lines...I don't believe it needs to be cancelled, I just believe the lines need to be delivered better or the script needs to be written better...again, the storyline is on point. I'm proud of Tyler Perry for pitching out all of these shows but I hope he knows that his fans would prefer quality over quantity.

TRY HARDER OR GIVE UP

[curtisthomas-03634 · 1/10 · 30 April 2020]

TP continues to half-ass his way through poorly written, directed and produced shows, and expects us to love his shows just because he's black and they're about black people. But he constantly insults our intelligence with his output. He owns a large studio, yet his sets seem extremely low budgets, his apartments, offices etc seem almost like stage play sets. Dialogue, plots and continuity are poorly executed. Imagine that the police comes to arrest a guy in a hospital saying it's for murder and the supposed victim is alive in the very same hospital!

The continuity is very sketchy... it seems like a single day stretches over several episodes and then it's hard to tell how much time has elapsed over a couple seasons.

The most annoying character is Karen's assistant Pam, with her sashaying, ridiculous expressions, hand waving and sing song voice she comes across as a cheap caricature of what a hood black woman is supposed to be.

Why is Andi a top lawyer constantly acting like an airhead from a telenovela? Why are all the girls constantly sabotaging their relationships then blaming it on the guys.

Why is a part black guy playing the role of a white country hick? Why are the girls able to just rush off their jobs for non emergencies so often? Why is no one ever seen watching TV but just sitting on the sofa doing nothing? Why are people constantly popping up at homes and workplaces at all hours like stalkers? Why is Aaron hitting on Karen just after his wife's death and before she's even buried? Why does the airport always look like it only ever has the same one plane and couple passengers? And what's with the weird hairstyles??? Why are people who work in a bank and law firm dressed so inappropriately for the job?

TP needs to relinquish some writing and directing to more talented persons or step up his game. And get rid of the always smug look on his face.

LOLLLLLLL

[fireleosnake-71661 · 1/10 · 9 January 2020]

Sistas is the first ...and last ...Tyler Perry show I will ever watch. the writing is like it was written by uneducated unimaginative 19 year olds. over acted. poorly acted. even the serious parts are hillarious in all the wrong ways. makes black (and all ) women look like mushy brained weak deviant losers that cannot live without D. Horrendous. Ridiculous. a real brain cell killer.

I like the show sistas but the acting

[ccmilli · 8 March 2021]

Tyler perry sistas show is good love it the only problem I have with one of the actresses is Danny one her acting is over board every time I watch it she I see acts her face expressions you can tell she is acting she should just be herself a flow . She act so dum that the only problem I have with the show other then that I tune in every week to watch it

LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!

[Rhonda92 · 10/10 · 5 December 2019]

I love this show. I don't understand why it has such a low rating on here. Matter of fact, I could probably guess why but I'll leave it at this, no matter what race your are this show is very entertaining

I had to watch this...

[neilsongraham · 1/10 · 1 October 2021]

I had to watch this just to see if it was as bad as the trailers made it look. I was amazed to discover its actually even worse than that. Stereotypical portrayals of black people, terrible acting, lazy storylines, and if I didn't know better I would think it was written by a 12 year old white kid who had never met a real-life black person during the one full decade they'd been alive. Terrible...don't waste your time.

Can't Stop Watching It

[sheba653161 · 8/10 · 24 June 2021]

I understand what other reviewers mean about the acting and how overly dramatic things get at times. I don't think the actors/actresses are bad, but the weird pauses/delayed responses kind of annoy me. Obviously you know when it's time for one person to respond, but it's like you can tell they're waiting for the other person to respond with their line. Not always, but sometimes. It doesn't always flow as it should. All that being said, I still enjoy watching it. It just holds my attention and I'll probably keep watching it as long as it's on.

I really want to like this show

[fretta609281 · 6/10 · 17 February 2020]

This show is somewhat entertaining but it is also lacking in many areas. Tyler Perry wrote this show without any input from a woman and the show is about women. The interactions and dialogue between characters is unrealistic. I've found myself confused in some scenes and upset with the characters in others. Maybe season 2 will be different.

Stereotypical

[david0188 · 3/10 · 24 January 2020]

Why does Tyler Perry only portray gay men as extremely feminine. It's so annoying. As a matter of fact, all of his characters are extreme. So unrealistic

Not bad, but not great

[daiangel · 8/10 · 19 December 2019]

I gotta say, TP has done okay with this show. I know everybody isnt going to like this series, but i do. I like it.

Ehhh

[ajsoblessed · 6/10 · 21 December 2019]

Ok- I am trying here. I really am. I want to like this show. I really do. I hope people give it a chance. The storyline is not that bad and the writers aren't that bad either. But---they are not great! I hope they are successful. I get what Tyler is trying to do. It is a mix between Girlfriends and Girls' Trip. However, it is made for TV. It is an edgier twist but they need to truly define that. Let's give this show and these newcomers (actors) a chance.

Badly written

[kingwyatt · 1/10 · 7 February 2020]

10 minutes of ridiculous content made 40 minutes long with dramatic pauses and characters repeating the same line back and forth to each other. Even 1970's daytime soap operas weren't this redundant and constipated.

SOOOO BAD

[cris_llarena · 1/10 · 11 April 2020]

Honestly the worst tv show one can see in decades. Tried watching 30 minutes, hilarious how lame and poor it is. So badly written, the acting is terrible, long pauses, wrong music on scenes. My friend and I had a laugh as couldn't believe how bad the whole thing is, we jumped through the episodes and all as we couldn't believe our eyes

SO DISAPPOINTING

[sheilatayan · 1/10 · 22 December 2020]

Badly written, ave also noticed that the darker guys are portrayed to be so bad and the light skin guys are the good ones, the girls are portrayed to want the men's approval its such a bad show.

Badly written and that background music so horrible my goodness

The worst acting I've ever seen.

[andreamyers-61800 · 15 August 2021]

The acting is so bad. The previews makes the show look oh so amazing, this the most worthless acting I've ever seen. EVER. Get it together mr perry 😩

It's not that bad

[wkaila2001 · 8/10 · 2 November 2020]

I like the show it is interesting. I like the sisterhood and what he is trying to portray but I think it should be a storyline more than just surrounding boy issues.

I can't believe what I saw

[tgomez-60946 · 1/10 · 13 November 2019]

This show is so poorly written, it's hard to review. The production is cheap and the sex scenes are cheaper. I didn't back out of the program, I turned the TV completely off. They are right

I was pleasantly surprised!

[wctrevis · 9/10 · 3 November 2020]

As of late I have nit been watching a lot of TP Productions because they seemed to have the same type of story line but THIS SHOW!!!! LOVE IT!!!! What i do realize now, is Mr. Perry makes shows for various audiences. When I watched season 1 on demand I watched the entire season back to back! Can't wait to see the new season

Needs better writing

[codygdietrich · 6/10 · 16 November 2023]

I've never seen sex and the city but I feel like this is what it would be: a show about four women and the relationships. There are points where this show feels like a soup opera, how much drama can you create around one character in one season? There is a limit before it's gets ridiculous and then they just seem to cut the character out of the show. There are other points where the story doesn't seem fully developed. They make references to being in college. One is a lawyer so she obviously went to college, one runs a hair salon but you never see an office or her doing payroll or things you'd expect an owner to do, one is a bank teller that does have an office, one works at a counter in an airport. So there are two jobs that aren't defined real well and might not require a degree, a bank teller and counter worker in an airport and one that hair stylist you can go to a trade school for and open a business, my dad knew someone that did that or you can have studied hair styling at a vo-tech in high school and get a degree in business. It only matters because they reference "when we were in college" and I don't think a law school would teach hair styling. It is one example of a sloppiness and under-developed story that I can give without going into deep detail about characters and relationships but is also part of the foundation of the story/history of the show. It does have some interesting characters but some of the characters and situations are a bit cliche and over done.

show is awesome!!

[mufflove-88833 · 1/10 · 12 December 2021]

Not feeling the Karen being a hater, like really, you couldn't write nothing else for her to do then be a whole ass hater.!!! You can't tell somebody you don't want them and get mad when they move on. #team-zatima!!!

Don't mind the bad reviews

[amiteyebismark-84858 · 10/10 · 17 May 2020]

I'm happy I didn't read all the misleading reviews before watching this show. There is tension all the time in the series. So unpredictable, as the thrill keeps flowing.

Spoilers; So this lady is dating a guy who is married but is having marital problems and has promised the lady that he is going to get a divorce. The lady who is also a lawyer comes to realize that one of her clients who have confided in her and is filing for a divorce is wife of her boyfriend. Split between love and professional ethics, she also comes to suspect that her boyfriend may have other women aside from she and his wife. The wife of her boyfriend slash her client becomes enraged after finding out the truth about her lawyer as her rival. But the wife also wishes to work things out with her husband. But it turned out the husband wasn't lying about his feelings for the lawyer and he really loved him. This trio of I want something from you but you also want something from someone who also wants something from me is what I love about the show.

Yay karen and Dani!!!!

[mbpyt-24015 · 6/10 · 26 March 2020]

I love Karen and Dani they are my favorite on the show. Dani is a trip she reminds me a lot of myself. i watch every week

Oh, it's bad.

[DE179 · 1/10 · 6 November 2020]

I gave this show a chance thinking 'Hey, how bad could it really be?' Oh, it's bad.

Bad like stinky feet bad. Bad like left out the meat and it spoiled bad. Bad like a faulty alternator on your car bad. Bad like...you get the point. It's soooo bad.

Someone please help TP. Please help him with dialogue, character development, real situations, a sense of reality...

Someone please tell him that no one is one dimensional and that all black women, all black men or all gay men don't behave the same way. Please tell him that he needs help writing scripts.

Someone please tell him his sex scenes are obnoxious, totally overused and over acted. Please tell him that he can give his characters range like seriously...the thick sista doesn't have to be the loud, funny one, the men don't all have to be dogs, weak or pitiful or look like they stepped out of a magazine spread. Please tell him to give his characters depth and history because it's hard to care about characters when you know nothing about who they are as people and why they are the way they are.

And if he's going for a dramedy element here, he so missed the mark. The jokes are corny and sophmomist. . The 'drama' is silly and unrealistic. Omgee, I could go on but a lot of other people have already said it. It's sooo bad.

Don't waste your time on this show unless you're bored and you need something mindless playing for background noise.
