I got to say this show is probably one of the best written and produced shows in my lifetime! Just everything is so impeccably done!

This show does not and did not get the credit it deserves. The relationships are relatable, so much eye candy, the conversations hit home, and just so much black excellence!

I hope they reboot the show like they doing a bunch of other stuff. I can't name another really good black show for black millennials currently running outside of Issa Rae's Insecure.

Seasons 4 and 5 were a dumpster fire but I can go back and watch any episode from seasons 1-3 and enjoy them. I wish they never moved Mary Jane out of ATL and I wish her and David would have worked it out because they looked great together. Honestly once Mara left it all fell apart.

Oh ... my .... gosh! I loved her and David together the most!!!

I enjoyed the ATL seasons more than the NYC seasons but all seasons are sources of great entertainment for me.

I still rewatch the first few seasons! I loved her with David and wish they had been written to be together. You could feel the familiarity between them when they were on screen together. They were complicated and messy, when it probably could have been so simple. I always randomly think of that episode when he told her, “If you wanted a baby all you had to do was ask." Jesus.

I’m willing to die on this hill as well!! BET and Netflix failed us. I hated MJ and David together! He tried her so many times!! I love season 4 and 5 cos they tackled a lot of issues that affect black women like infertility, career and men. If they ever reboot we need Mara Brock Akil back as a creator and producer. Can’t believe she left this for Love Is.

This is not going to happen because she has fumbled the ball on too many shows.

She's trying to be Shonda Rhimes, but Shonda sticks to her shows.

Mara will write for a show for like 2 years and then leave.

I loved this show it was so relatable. I haven't got the chance to watch the finale. The gap between the finale and the previous season was weird. BET is so damn ghetto.

Do you think they would ever make another movie (the pilot episode was a 2 hour movie)?

I'm rewatching and I agree seasons 1-3 are the best. The same thing happened with the game. I really loved david David and mj. They both played a lot of games. I feel like she should have just said let's try and if it doesn't work it doesnt work. I hate the movie and seasons 4-5.

Where are you watching? It looks like it was removed from Netflix. I wanted to rewatch over the holiday season
