VERDICT
On a scale of 1-10, the series can be rated at five because of the relative low popularity and investment. Shot mostly at the Tyler Perry studio, enough money was not spent in the production let alone in promotion. Story-wise, the series is a standard eight because it keep people captivated even after it ends.
