You're wasting your talents on bitches and booze...
Yes...that's a line uttered in this diabolical ode to ego, melodrama and soap.
It's so damned aggressive. There ain't no happy families here.
Lee Daniels...don't just sack your writers...abandon this sinking ship pronto and, hopefully, everyone will forget that you were ever involved with this screeching, sugar-coated-shite.
Okay....so, we decide to watched episode 2 - just in case things improved...they didn't.
As for the rest...we will just have to guess.
Fast forward...
Well...the egos ran riot...Jussie Smollet: A masterclass in 'how to kill what could have been a blistering career!'.
Trailer...
