Watchseries; The best parts of the show are the soundtrack and the slang/hood dialogues. But be aware that even with subtitles you'll likely have a hard time getting the meaning of most of the talking without Urbandictionary and stopping and trying to figure it out more slowly.
Unfortunately this contextual realism/depth was lost with the usual mistake of characters exceptionally smart/savvy in a scene and dumb/problematic in another. My opinion is that these schizofrenic and simple-minded behaviours are forced by a plot that is too simple and stereotyped/fake.
The show is extremely sexy, some scenes are great (and well directed) and some characters are original and well designed (ie the manager of the establishment). Unfortunately the storylines and some of the writing are so trite, fake and silly that it becomes a chore to watch without contempt.

P-Valley watchseries. I realize P-Valley is not a comedy but I could not stop belly laughing through this show. The dialogue is full-tilt unintentionally stupid ridiculous, the acting is really really funny, and the accents are freaking ludicrous... in the funniest way.
Please *pretty please* keep this show coming because it's truly the most I've laughed at the television in a couple of months. Ladies and gentlemen, the UNINTENTIONALLY FUNNY award goes to P-Valley. Hats off the the editors, actors, writers and directors for shoveling this dreck onto STARZ!
Too vulgar, too naturalistic. No interesting plot, no interesting characters. This is a failure.
I'm going to take this opportunity as a black American to say that I'm sick to death of the glorification of black lowlife on commercial TV. I know it can't all be The Flying Nun, but shows like this, The Wire et al show a miniscule minority of black life as if it were the common occurrance, This is not so. Our lives are actually not filled with Ebonics-wannabee speaking morons, two-bit talent-free wannabee "rappers" and other fringe personalities. Really, they aren't. But you'd think that from the evidence of The Deuce and other dross on "premium cable" I'm sick of it, especially in an era when those same networks fawn about their "commitment" to our community. Oh, really? At least COPS had real people as its subjects. These TV shows are a patent falsehood and they need to be called out as such.
When you hear the song in the intro and see the images of plight and poverty... You know this is more than about pole dancing. 4 episodes in, the layers are slowly unfolding about truths (spoken or not) in the black community. The club Pynk sits in the center of the town and is the catalyst for not only the non-gender conforming owner Uncle Clifford and all his girls Gidget, Mercedes, Mississippi and the new girl Autumn. There is dancing and when there is, these girls are amazing. But the show is not about the inside of the club. It is the broken lives of these people when they leave Pynk.
Someone actually produced this trash? Come on man. Not one minute of this show was not done before again and again and again. If you just want to watch black porn then there you go. Elarica Johnson is truly spectacular looking but she should have passed on this. So should have Parker Sawyers. Tried but just can't do it.
