Tyler Perry's recent Netflix series, Beauty in Black, brings consistent and entertaining drama and has many already waiting for season 2. Beauty in Black centers on two main characters, Kimmie (Taylor Polidore Williams) and Mallory (Crystle Stewart), living in very different circumstances, as an exotic dancer and hair care company mogul, respectively. Despite their differences, Kimmie and Mallory's lives become intertwined as season 1 progresses, leading up to Beauty in Black's shocking season 1 ending.
Beauty in Black comes as a result of Tyler Perry's multi-year creative partnership with Netflix, which will see the multi-hyphenate creator release new shows and movies on the streaming platform. While Beauty in Black currently holds a meager 47% Rotten Tomatoes audience rating, its drama and several good performances from its stars have rocketed Beauty in Black to the top of Netflix's charts. Luckily, while fans of the show are waiting for new episodes of Beauty in Black, Divorce in the Black can serve as an entertaining replacement.
