THEY WILL NEVER GIVE US A HAPPY UNAOPOGETICALLY BLACK FAMILY. Always gotta include propaganda of interracial relationships like in The Hate u Give & scandal. Is a black mother father and child too much to ask for? I guess YES. cuz then black people would wake up to their divinity. Boycott this trash. - @Monday, November 5, 2018 8:37 PM

This movie lost me at the fact that this guy had been to prison why can't their be a movie about a smart educated black couple growing together stop perpetuating these stereotypes this is only making this baby mama crisis thing we have look worst y'all yes a black musical is cool and all but stop with his nonsense about us only being single mothers and only dating thugs I watch a lot of crime shows y'all and most of the women who date thugs children get hurt date a smart man just plse - @Friday, November 2, 2018 10:22 PM

SPOILERS HERE: Why is it that black women's love interests in films are always ex-cons or get a pass for having multiple women? - @Friday, November 2, 2018 10:08 PM

I've just finished watching this on Netflix and all I have to say is. Please for the love of GOD make more of this! The film was absolutely fantastic!!! Londoners have a unique charm and vivacious soul that is truly inclusive of all! We need more working class romances and more black love on TV. Michaela is gorgeous, talented and just perfect. #BlackGirlMagic and big up to us London peeps. Lol Ok thats me done. - @Friday, November 2, 2018 1:44 PM
