Ambitions

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who finds Robin Givens acting way over the top. Perhaps because it's a soap opera, which has never been my thing. The rest of the actors are decent. The storylines are decent, which is why I'm still watching... for now. Robin Givens' acting makes me want to turn off my TV! But seriously, I'd be surprised if the show makes it to season 2.

There's an argument to be made that good acting is increasingly being confused with intense acting. Robin Givens, This isn't a High School Play your casting in...Every time you speak..it sound like your reading a script from a play...She just not a good actress for the role she's is playing in Ambitions

Robin givens is such an horrible actor, she overacts in every scene. And the writing is just one cliche after another.

The weekly cliffhangers keep me coming back. HOWEVER, Robin Givens is waaaay too much over the top. While I think no one could portray Stephanie Lancaster but her, she seriously needs to tone down her delivery. Sometimes, it sounds forced, which comes across as fake. Also, Essence is a little whiny at times. Other than that.....I love it! Lots of twists and turns.

If you're looking for a show that's a throwback to the glory days of classic soaps like Knots Landing, Dynasty, etc. then this is the show for you! Every single character has ties to someone else on the show and the plots are interwoven well. It doesn't hurt that the cast is good looking and glamorous. Other reviewers are calling it a black soap, and that's fine, but to me, it doesn't matter what color the characters are if the story is compelling, and this is. I can't wait for the next episode.
