Season 2 Review: In season 2, Tracy Oliver's terrific comedy about four friends in the titular NYC neighborhood elevates its keen wit, engrossing relationship drama, and sly cultural commentary with even more confidence. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Even in its less-than-original moments, Harlem is consistently enjoyable. All the klieg light attention may be on Carrie and company for their upcoming HBO Max revival, but Harlem has more than enough shine of its own. Read full review

Season 2 Review: The season very early on makes a promise to allow the characters to make mistakes and grow from them, and it certainly keeps its word, honoring many of its choices with remarkable commitment. By the end of Harlem Season 2, the characters are in very different places than when the second season began – happier, better places... at least until a cliffhanger closing that immediately demands answers (and a third season).

Season 1 Review: The straightforward humor, enviable wardrobes, winks to previous sitcoms and questionable character antics are likely to keep many viewers hooked. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Harlem may feel like a show that you’ve seen before, but the four stars are more than charming enough, and the writing is clever enough, to make the show stand on its own. Read full review

Season 1 Review: While some of the storylines over the course of the season are more compelling than others, there’s an unusual but welcome lack of any that fully do not work—and those that work best are truly something special. Read full review

Season 1 Review: By season end, there’s plenty of material to grow on and from, and ample reason to give Harlem a second season to do so. ... I just wish the development of the characters kept pace with the show’s progressive foundation. Read full review

I really like these ladies and their characters. Their lives are more realistic based on what really happens in the world with young professionals on a daily basis. It shows how they handle various situations and maneuver through life changes in a sophisticated way. They are four youngI really like these ladies and their characters.

Tracy Y. Oliver, co-writer of Girls Trip and creator the BET series First Wives Club, created this series which echoes Sex and the City, except these 4 30ish women are all Black.

Oliver, co-writer of Girls Trip and creator the BET series First Wives Club, created this series which echoes Sex and the City, except these 4 30ish women are all Black. There’s the usual mix of types: the rich designer, the lesbian entrepreneur, the academic and the wild one, played by Shoniqua Shandia, who was actually raised in Richmond and provides most of the comedy. Their trajectories follow expected paths: romantic frustrations, unapologetic sex, plentiful parties and cool clothes. Even though the characters and situations aren’t especially original, the performances are fun, the pacing is quick and the writing is witty. (Review based on 5 of the 10 episodes)… Expand
