what can i say? this show is so laid back, i just enjoyed it. there's some laugh out moments, i just find myself smiling watching this show. there's some insanely great one liners. the one liners on here land on the mark. some moments leave me very furious at how situations work out. like being forced to issue a public apology etc.i hope this show lasts for at least 5 seasons. yeah, i hope we get to see a bit more of basketball in this show as well. more nudity ;-) the characters are like slowly getting fleshed out, we discover stuff about them...ay i just love this show. just check for it!what makes me furious is the amount of obligations Cam has. that's the part that makes me mad, as much as it makes these characters mad. when the characters grit their teeth at these obligation, i am seething in fury at the bullshit as well.

Most of the writing is good but there is a feeling it is over-reaching - trying REALLY hard to show that blacks have made it, in some scenes, at the expense of white folk. Character comments such as "...the Titanic was a boat for rich white people - F'em all - they can all freeze to death for all I care" are hard to tell if part of the character's world view (and therefore serves the story) or if more the writing team trying to make a point (doesn't serve the story at all). It seems hard to believe the former when the very same character talks about moving on from the issues surrounding the American Civil War.I think if the writers focus squarely on "the life" as it exists for young men in the NBA and the surrounding entourage of folks, then it should do well. In fact, HBO's Ballers is doing something similar with life in the NFL - and note the lack of any race related ideology there and just how nice it is. But as with pretty much any buddy-centric day-in-the-life type show, as soon as they start trying to make it more of a social statement vehicle, things go downhill rapidly.We shall see after a couple of seasons.

I watched the first four shows back-to-back and with each one, I got more irritated. The fourth show sealed the deal for me and I will not be watching another episode. The profanity was entirely too much. I don't know if the profanity was supposed to make up for the weak writing, but it got old very quickly. The characters are also not really developed and I don't see that changing. At the end of the 4th episode, Cam and his cousin were sitting outside smoking weed and Cam made the statement that he didn't know why people wanted to join a place (church)where God encourages hate. That statement put the nail in coffin for me. Next...

The topics already revealed have some substance, but some of these characters need a lot of work. For example, Eric Ash's character "M- Chuck" is terrible. The whole "ghetto gay girl" profile is overplayed and the profanity is excessive. I confess, that I can curse like a sailor, but it seems like the characters are trying too hard for something that normally flows of the tongue of an expert. Erica should fight for more substance in her role, because it gets tiring real quick. Ron Reaco's character, Reggie seems to be the voice of reason in the whole show, and that gets old too without anyone else having a flash of genius to invoke some common sense. Overall, the writing is not as powerful or intriguing as other Starz series, like Power. When there are so many shows to choose from these days, viewers don't have a lot of patience for a show to mature. Best of luck to Survivor's Remorse.
