This could have been the modern version of Downton Abbey, with the upstairs being the President and his family and the downstairs being the staff in the Whitehouse, however it is more like a cheap melodrama made on the tightest of budgets !This could have been the modern version of Downton Abbey, with the upstairs being the President and his family and the downstairs being the staff in the Whitehouse, however it is more like a cheap melodrama made on the tightest of budgets ! The acting from every character is just so poor. The very first scene is a fight between the President and his wife. The fighting is just laughable yet i think it was meant to be serious ! You can't relate to any of the characters as they are so wooden and lack any kind of depth or serious emotion. Each episode is 40 minutes but for me half of that was all i could stand before i switched off.

My advice to anyone considering watching this - just don't bother !!… Expand

The Oval is trashy and an insult to the Black race. For the past 8 years we were honored with the Obama's a stellar First Family.

For the past 8 years we were honored with the Obama's a stellar First Family. Mr. Perry's Oval is embrassering and disrespectful to the American people. This current administration has done something to your thinking, your first episode opening with the President and First Lady fist fighting. The First Daughter lying about being raped. Mr Tyler you owe us an apology.… Expand

The show started high on drama but low on a good story line and the acting could be better. I kept watching thinking it’s going to get better, give it a chance, but each episode just got worse. Episodes don’t always pick up where the one before left off which would be fine if each episode was independent of the other. But when the same story is supposed to continue and the scene skips ahead, you’re like, how did I get here? Did I fast forward by accident? Did I skip an entire episode? Nope, you didn’t. It just doesn’t connect.… Expand

I have been watching the movie from the beginning and I thought the series would get better. to many characters are being killed by the same person, Kyle for instance. Tired of him. He needs to go. That ignorant President, wife and kidI have been watching the movie from the beginning and I thought the series would get better. to many characters are being killed by the same person, Kyle for instance. Tired of him. He needs to go. That ignorant President, wife and kid need to go. They make the plot to dark. give the Vice President and his Wife a chance. I would like to see them take over the White House.… Expand

It’s obvious that many of the shows principals and plot lines are based on a certain First family, (obviously not Trump) people complaining about degrading Blacks the kids are 1/4 black as the First Lady stated she is half black.

Interesting that SS as well as maids and butlers also have quite the messy lives, the residence area of the WH seems quite small.… Expand

Started out good. But turned bad. I don't know what happened to Tyler perry but his his writing has been slow and boring. The other show he had turned out just as bad.
