First off, the message, race issues, and anything else are irrelevant to this review. No grown adult should have a problem with a show/movie bringing attention to social issues. But the reality is, the actors are some of the worst I've ever seen. The story is beyond cheesy, and written like a 12 year old wrote it. I keep seeing reviews with headlines like "don't believe the negative reviews" while then trying to convince people it's great because they believe in the message and think everyone thats giving bad reviews are just mad at the message. While there's no doubt some people who will simply hate it for that reason, the majority of people here it for the right reason. It is an embarrassingly horrible acted and written show. Only watch this if you like to laugh st these type of shows.
