It stars Cress Williams as the titular character alongside China Anne McClain, Nafessa Williams, Christine Adams, Marvin Jones III, Damon Gupton, and James Remar.

This was sooooooo good. Made me wish it was on Netflix or Hulu so that I could bing watch, plus Netflix and Hulu woult have given them more room to be uncensored. Plus the Akils always bring the heat.
Really? I am going to check it out then! Thanks!
Yea…it’s well written. You know the Akils did the Game, Being May Jane, etc. Those shows didn’t fail until the Akils left. This show is really good and I’m not just saying that cause I support my people…the cast is amazing…they have everyone, including an Albino. You don’t see shows with this much variety in races.
Oh wow! I definitely need something to watch, so this one is on the list!
