The 2 hour movie premiere left you wanting more...an affair, dying mom, slack family, addict brother, teenage mother to be which is Mary Jane's (niece). I actually liked the original name for the show "Single Black Female" because I don't know one, not one African American female name Mary Jane. They could have given her a more urban name. But anyway.... The most exciting thing about the show is Gabrielle Union's affair with a married man. Every single episode has a sex scene....yep Gabrielle Union shows some skin ( well as much as cable TV will allow). Scenes of oral sex being giving or received as well. Besides Mary Jane's ongoing affair the show is a SNOOZE! Her job and the stories she covers is a bore. The family serves mild drama but not enough to keep you entertained. Veeerrrrrrryyyyyyyy slow plot building. They never really show her interacting outside of work so we really don't get to know Mary Jane, unless she's at work or on her back. I will continue to watch and support because for the first time in a long we (African Americans) are starring in shows on cable and Basic prime time TV. Hopefully it picks up the pace.
