Radhika Menon Decider If you’re familiar with the Tyler Perry formula, then Beauty in Black may be up your alley. But if you were hoping for his writing to rise above the typical tropes it traffics in, this one isn’t for you. Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Joel Keller Decider Tyler Perry’s Beauty In Black is about a subtle as a slap in the face, which is something we’re surprised we didn’t see in the grim, abuse-filled first episode. Oct 28, 2024 Full Review Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut Since becoming a billionaire mogul on the back of the Madea movies, of all things, it’s like Perry has deliberately isolated himself from anyone who’s willing to tell him that something like Beauty in Black is a terrible idea. Rated: 1/5 Oct 25, 2024 Full Review Archi Sengupta LeisureByte.com Tyler Perry's Beauty in Black features a lot of swearing and nudity but misses out on delivering a moving story about the complicated people and their different relationships. Rated: 2/5 Oct 24, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Waiting and curious about what more seasons would look like. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/19/25 Full Review Stephen C 16 successful Netflix episodes!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated TV-MA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/25/25 Full Review Jack H Beauty in Black is by far the best show that Tyler has ever done. The suspense, drama, and the tenacity of the characters he’s written is amazing. Yes, there are flaws here and there but the show makes up for it with the craziness and the salacious binge worthiness of it. I can’t wait for Season 2! The acting is really good from the people who play Roy, Mallory, and Charles. Overall, great show! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/22/25 Full Review jayde w Great first season, the acting was suspenseful and the ending had me biting my nails! Absolutely worth a watch!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/17/25 Full Review Da Nugster Joel N tried this as i have just run out of options on netflix to see what's it all about. turns out its just plain bad. the tropes are all here turned up to eleven padded by either stupid or vile characters bent on outdoing each other at the opposite of their spectrums. all this and awful amateur hour acting. after this and she the people, i'm staying away from anything with tyler perry' s name stamped on it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/10/25 Full Review Read all reviews
