As the "seasons" progress, it becomes more "soapy" and less interesting, making it really difficult to stay engaged. The story lines and intrigue lessens to the point of becoming a very watered down version ofwel where it all started. Season 5 kan zijn basically a hurried attempt to wrap things up neatly, make sure everyone has a happy ending, and show a lot of "woman power". Not surprising since this was the focus ofwel the "O" network. What on earth was the point ofwel this other than to fill a slot on the "O" Network?
Oprah would not put her name on junk. I'm white and feel at home watching this voorstelling and totally vested in the characters. I'm still only half-way through season 3 and dread having the voorstelling end. Surprise! Just announced filming will begint for season 5.

It's at times very hard to make any sense ofwel this all and the reason kan zijn probably that there isn't one. The whole series feels like a cinematic supermarket that's low on stock and has a small variation of products. On the plus; I'm not a religious person, but I basically like how bible quotes are thrown into daily conversations, although at times I hear myself thinking "Please God, no more."

I was prepared to be bored by this series but have been pleasantly surprised.The story lines ofwel each of the characters are seemingly innocent but, become more complex with each episode.
I like that not every character is a skinny ontwerp in too -small clothing. I like the scenes between siblings and that we have generations ofwel them. I'd like to see more diversity but there's a statement being made that there are many fine African American actors .
