Review of She's Gotta Have It

I truly believe that most of the reviewers leaving negative reviews are missing the beauty of the show. This is a show that encompasses so much black history, music, and art that is sometimes overwhelming but always impactful at least for me. The main actress carries the show really well and is believable as a free-thinking independent black woman, and the rest of the cast is cool. Nola darling has three boyfriends in a rotation and each has their own distinctive personality that meshes well together when they finally meet. **Spoiler** I love the scene in the 10th episode of season 1 where all of her male friends meet and actually get to know each other and have fun together. All three of them with Nola dance to a Prince song and the whole scene is quite enjoyable.

This show has beautiful cinematography and great transitions that impact the overall feeling of the show. There are hidden meanings and interpretations to every shot in the show, and the use of colors is also great. You get a feel of the New York and Brooklyn lifestyle and also a bit of the Black Culture. There are many classic book references, musical referencesb poetry references, and many homages to famous people and innovators throughout history. I don't know why the show got so many bad reviews but I for one enjoy it. If you go into it with no expectations and just watch it for what it is you will enjoy it.

P.S. This is definitely for mature audiences because there are many explicit sex scenes and language.
