She's Gotta Have It (2017–2019)
7/10
Fun, free and entertaining series with imperfections

Warning: Spoilers
The story revolves around Nola Darling who is a young black female artist living in New York. She has intimate relationships with three different guys who possess three different kinds of personalities and therefore all fulfill her in their own ways.

The series take us through all the emotional struggles that come with being an artist, being a (black) female and searching for (self)love. It also shines a light on different kinds of views of several political/social subjects.

What I thought was really fun and original was that after a lot of scenes an album cover of the background music that you just heard was shown. Also as a woman, it was easy to relate to the stuff Nola goes through. I like that the series focuses on Nola but also shows us a more in depth look into the lives of all the other characters so that we can slowly connect to all of them and appreciate the roles they each play in her life.

The story is flawed and definitely has imperfections (characters respond too fast during dialogues, some corny moments, the story line is too quick/too slow or some times too random..), but I still really enjoyed watching it. I liked the vibe it had going on and would watch a second season. I think this series is mostly for an audience below 30's and will mainly be appreciated by females.
