The writing has horrible mistakes-such as the scene where Nikki gets into a fight for someone calling her grandmother-Eve a skillet referring to her dark skin when in fact, Eve is not dark, but peanut butter or caramel complexion at the darkest. If the show was centered around Morris Chestnut , Joe Morton and Nadine Ellis it would have Shonda Rhimes popularity-5 star. Anything with Debbi Morgan is at least 3 stars. I would watch season 2 if the main story involves the DuPont's and Franklins real drama and cover ups and the Eves Crown story line takes a back seat.
