    Realistic it's not, though it's most certainly compelling (and sometimes more) thanks to a game cast and some propulsive, pointed storytelling.

    The Quad features some strong performances and isn’t afraid to plunge enthusiastically into the genre of nighttime soap opera.

    College-set shows are nothing new, but The Quad proves there is still fertile ground to explore in terms of original storylines and drama, with the series serving up both with no problem. The show may not make you want to go back to school, but it’s certainly worth dropping in on once a week.

    With just the pilot available for review, we’ll have to wait and see how Ms. Henderson and her fellow producers develop the potentially entertaining and provocative situations they’ve set up. In the meantime, it should be fun to watch Ms. Rose, who’s like a more human version of Kerry Washington in “Scandal,” and Mr. Santiago-Hudson.

If this is what we can come to expect, I plan on finding something else to bide my time. The plot was disjointed, the writing and dialogue were terrible, and the characters weren't relatable or believable. Cancel this turd now and start over BET. I think the major problem is the creators. I looked them up and neither of them have been on the inside of a college for the wrong side of 30 years. Thriller had not even been released when they would have been in college. This is NOT reflective of my current HBCU experience and the most out of touch show on television.

    First and last episode I plan on watching. Simply terrible.    … Full Review »
