The New Edition Story isn’t just a TV biopic, but a lesson on how to do one right.

I don’t even know where to begin. After recent years of seeing flop TV biopics about Aaliyah, TLC (OK, that was a little alright), and Whitney Houston — finally, one comes along that gets it right. The New Edition Story not only kept it 100, but gave me life for three straight days. From Jheri curls to bold colored sweat-gear to epic storytelling, I was breaking out into choreography in the middle of my living room. I nearly skipped all of my regularly scheduled programming to get into all the hot tea this film was serving. In a nutshell: Bobby Brown was definitely the original bad of R&B, the group definitely had their ups and downs with money, girls, and drugs — and they still slayed almost any boy group before inspiring the namesake of Boyz II Men. This is what happens when you have the actual group still around to teach the actors how it really went down with the support of incredible filmmakers and producers. I would have paid to see this in theaters!

Olivia Pope returns with a dragging from Papa Pope

Scandal is back! The season premiere did not disappoint, with Papa Pope dragging Liv like only he can. While Ms. Pope was trying to get the nation’s first female president elected (sounds familiar?) she was faced with another crisis as the opponent was shot before giving his victory speech. So Liv try to blame for this — her daddy. She disrupted his office with no manners and tried to pin him for intervening in her business. Right move, wrong person. A Papa Pope read is the kind your grandpa would give the whole family and you just sat there and took it in because you knew that nobody can drag like an elder. And that’s exactly what Liv did — she sat and took notes and watched as her father schooled her on how to clap back and snatch that White House back. Class dismissed.

Annalise Keating is locked up and they won’t let her out.   

Must be nice to be Viola Davis this week. She gets an Oscar nomination for her role in a film adaptation that she’s already won a Tony for and now returns to a TV role that won her an Emmy. How to Get Away With Murder comes to our small screens with Ms. Keating behind bars. I was just as surprised as everyone when I saw Davis sitting on the toilet in misery surrounded by some fellow inmates that threw shade at her former bad and boogie life. It was hard to take in seeing her wear an inmate uniform and roll back in her bed as her wig endured unfortunate tugging. Her fine cop bae can’t save her. Her ride-or-die sidekick, Bonnie, is useless and her ungrateful law students are confused to whether or not she deserves to be there. Long story short: these bros ain’t loyal. I’m hoping they get it together very soon or I will take it upon myself to start #FreeAnnalise, cause she’s really going through it.

Until next week, Black America — don’t come for shady fathers with alternative facts and be sure to make it a point to come through for your fam when they find themselves in jail.
