You can stop watching after season 4. She show gets messy and repetitive. I was upset when I heard this show was ending until I watched season 5.

Very relatable by all walks of life who have to keep their lives private, yet have all these responsibilities. The main character is flawed and has constant moral dilemmas. It's very surprising that this is on BET, which was always plagued by stereotypical programming. Even when a good show moved to BET in the past, like The Game for example, the network pressure ended up ruining it. So when I saw a BET logo on the bottom of the screen when I was binge watching Mary Jane, I was very surprised. The same happened when I discovered well written gems like LA Complex and The 100 were from the CW, which I thought was a dull teen network. Well, I guess not anymore, times are changing. The show is very emotional at times, and I am sure BET may still try to spin this into another cliché, I hope that the writers will find a way around it. The show is a must watch for everyone, you do not have to be a black woman to understand the struggles of the main character. There are some tiny clichés in the interactions between different races on the show, but it seems to be a thing with the Atlanta based productions so far. Still the writing is great, and the show stand out. The race subject is approached very intelligently, yet it's not really what this show is about. It's instead is a look into a complexity of our lives in today society, which is so much more different than even 7-8 years ago. It's a very thought provoking from the start. Can't wait for the next season.

I think she is an amazing actress....having said that....and I know it is the script and the role she is playing....but she is NOT a sympathetic character to me.....she messes with the men in her life....she plays games...one minute taunting them.....and one minute pushing them away....all the time with NO regard for the feelings of the other women in their life....sorry.....but to me....she is a game player....maybe they are as well....but would like to see her be "higher"....to rise above and act with some integrity...and that "ain't happening"....not to mention....killing her fish....how sick is that....sorry.... her game playing ....well, I just lost interest....will not be watching any more episodes.....so long Mary Jane....

First off, I must commend the show's producers for having an entire ensemble of people of color. The story line may bit off of Scandal just a tad bit, however like Kerry Washington. Gabrielle Union does an awesome job as she fearlessly leads this cast to television success. Not to mention the supporting cast does a wonderful job of making up for the show's comedic reliefs. The men on show are extremely attractive and talented actors in their own right like Omari Hardwick. I also love the emotion behind each scene that is accompanied by an array of music that fits each scene perfectly leaving the viewer to feel exactly how it was intended for them to fee. Being Mary Jane is a 2014 must see, although if they plan to take home any Golden Globes or Emmy's then the writers had better turn up the heat.
