One time I was gonna be an extra on this TV show but then they started asking me about Social Security numbers and taxes and being up there at 5am. I know y'all ain't doing that with Taraji.

He's simply happened on a successful by-the-numbers formula of which Van wants no part. The adventure that brings her to that conclusion is the braver burst of originality.

Is this whole takedown fair? It depends, perhaps, on how much affection you have for the output that has made Perry a billionaire. Is it hilarious? Absolutely.

A Tyler Perry episode of Atlanta could have come much earlier in the show’s tenure, and I’m so glad the writers’ room took their time with it.

Rated: A-

If you’ve seen Perry’s rise as an accomplished filmmaker, there are many similarities between his style/output and “Work Ethic!,” but this isn’t a one-sided argument...

Tell-Tale TV

A Van-centric episode that finds Van and Lottie embarking on a surrealist, horror-tinged film set adventure that takes an unexpected turn. As usual, Zazie Beetz shines in this outing.

Rated: 4/5
