This show is absolutely ridiculous! The aesthetic is very cheesy and looks like a lifetime special. The acting is dramatic beyond belief. The lines are repetitive and shallow adding no true depth to the characters. Too many storylines happening at once for one episode. So you know in TP fashion it's going to take 2 seasons just to resolve an issue, because his favorite thing to do is drag them out unnecessarily. There isn't one likable character with an iota of sense. The only apparent protagonist aren't even front and center they just act as secondary characters. And even their actions are silly. Like the young man who's baby's mother is a crackhead turned cult member. After she shows up to his mother's house uninvited, where he and his new girlfriend or wife are living with their daughter, he tells her to stay away from the house and away from the child. His mother tries to help and after disobeying her son's orders, invites the baby's mother over anyway to visit the child, to which by the end of the episode the child is kidnapped by her mother and other cult members. Who in God's green earth would be that stupid to allow that to happen knowing this woman's history of mental illness? And you bring her into your home? Why not let her see the child in a public place, if you were going to let her see the child after your son told you not to? Aside from that ridiculousness, the main characters are just as bad. The opening fight scene between the First Lady and President is one the worst things I've ever seen in my entire life! I laughed the whole time because it was that terrible! If you can't take a domestic violence scene serious when it's being unraveled in front of your eyes, it's time to go back to the drawing board and try again. I wouldn't recommend this show to my worst enemy. In all fairness I only tried it out because I wanted to support the actress who's playing the first daughter. But I won't be watching again.
