Being Mary Jane (2013–2019)
9/10
Funny and light, but with important social commentary

I absolutely loved Being Mary Jane. MJ is completely nuts, and her excursions are almost always inexplicable and hilarious. Seriously though, so many facepalm moments courtesy of MJ. Like when she stole David's sperm. I loved screaming at my screen "Now WHY would you do THAT, MJ?" but the result would be funny. I also loved that a part of me could relate. The innermost part of me that sometimes wants to do some irrational dramatic stuff but holds back because decorum? That part. MJ is that part, minus the inhibitions, and I loved it. This show had real character growth for MJ, and she ends up with Justin who is great for her. The right amount of 'complicated' so she doesn't get bored, but not so complicated it's toxic. The emotional payoff is great as even Niecy grows up and stops being so insipid.

I would definitely recommend this, and look forward to binging it again some time in future.
