WHAT SOME CRITICS ARE SAYING

“BEING MARY JANE” COULD BE BET’S BIGGEST HIT EVER

1. It’s no holds barred. Nothing is hidden for the imagination at all whether it’s sex scenes or uncomfortable situations which occur in her daily life.

2. It’s so real. There are no made for TV drawn out plots that come out of nowhere and confuse the viewer. It’s literally a diary of how this successful, beautiful young black woman is trying to make her life easier and better for not only herself but the people who depend on her in the workplace and in her family.

3. The acting is so pure. One of the biggest criticisms of shows from outfits like BET or Tyler Perry is that the product is just really cheap, from the sets to the actors, who don’t seem to have been previously trained at their profession.

But you will NOT get anything like that from this show. The acting is on point and grasps the viewer’s attention because of the real, raw emotion of the various storylines involved. The show could air on AMC, USA, TNT or NBC, ABC, CBS, it’s not a typical “black production”. (Not to say that other black productions aren’t deserving of high recognition but a lot of critics believe that there’s not enough invested into making high quality black programming)
