As I grew older, I slowly started to walk away from the kind of shows CW delivers out. Not because any of them are bad, it’s just that my taste and tolerance for the soapy angle has changed.

Ah EBT…I mean BET. The network developed by Black people for Black people that is now owned by Viacom used to be known for having strong shows like Comic View, BET Uncut and 106 & Park with Free and Ajay. However, lately the network has come under fire for its lack luster award shows, ruining of The Game, and just a general decline in quality. But things seem to be looking up for the network.

I happened to catch the show the day after it premiered and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was and decided to list 5 reasons why it could be a hit for the network.
