March 28th is here, and we’re inching towards the end of the month, heading into April. Before we know it, July 16th will be here. Now, don’t get me wrong—I’m not rushing time. I actually appreciate this hiatus, and who knows? Maybe my demeanor will change between now and July.
I recently had a private conversation (not naming names) about something that’s been on my mind. I wanted to make a video to gauge your thoughts and get some insight because, honestly, my demeanor has been questioned over the past several months—not just with Sistas Season 8 but also with Zatima Season 3.
So here’s the question: Should I take these shows as seriously as I do?
I feel like most of you are going to say, Of course! But seriously—when Season 9 comes back, if I choose to review it, should I still hold it to a high standard? And if it doesn’t meet those standards, should I continue giving it low scores? Maybe I should try to have more fun with it.
The frustrating part is that a show running this long shouldn’t just throw out its own lore and rules. It feels like we’re forced to accept inconsistency. This seems to be a byproduct of having too many cooks in the kitchen and a lack of communication between the writing team. That’s why things don’t make sense.
Now, let’s be real. When Tyler Perry was writing solo, it wasn’t perfect. People wanted more writers involved for a reason. But Tyler’s biggest flaw was the repetitiveness and small continuity errors. With the new writers, character motivations feel completely out of whack, and the show has become chaotic.
I’ve been getting messages about my live stream during the Sistas Season 8 finale. Apparently, my reactions were hilarious. People told me, Bro, I was in tears laughing.
Someone I spoke to pointed out that this is why my reaction got such a big response—because I showed a side of myself that people don’t often see. It reminded me of my reaction to Zatima Season 3’s finale. My opinions were in the minority, but those last two episodes—especially Jeremiah’s antics at the funeral—had me acting a fool. Remember the live stream where I wrapped toilet paper around my head like Jeremiah’s bandage? People lost it.
I get it. When I have fun, people enjoy it more. But from my perspective, it’s frustrating to see a show become unrecognizable. It feels like a slap in the face to fans who’ve been watching since day one. Characters don’t just grow and change—they completely shift overnight. That’s why I’ve handed out so many low scores.
And let’s address another thing: some people have actually blamed me for the show’s declining ratings. They say, You crapping on the show is why ratings are low.
That’s ridiculous. Even if my reviews are negative (which they often are), the ratings were dropping long before I started speaking up about it. The reality is, if Season 9 doesn’t bring a fresh vibe and a better tone, I don’t know if I can sit through another season as bad as Season 8. It would feel like an insult to my intelligence to watch characters acting this way.
So, I’m torn. If I do review Season 9, how should I approach it?
- Should I do live reactions while watching the episodes?
- Should I stick to my usual style, talking over photos?
- Should I embrace the ridiculousness and just have fun with it?
I’ve realized why reaction channels thrive—because people love seeing genuine, over-the-top emotions. I didn’t even have the episode on screen due to copyright concerns, but people still loved my reactions. Maybe I should look into YouTube’s guidelines and see if I can incorporate actual episode footage, even if it’s minimized or reversed.
Between now and July, I’ll do my research. I’m not trying to put my channel at risk over some copyright issue.
But back to the main point: If I review Season 9, what do you want to see?
If you quit watching Sistas, what would convince you to give Season 9 a shot?
Honestly, I wish someone from Tyler Perry Studios would just tell me, Jeremy, you need to watch Season 9—you’re going to love it. That would be the push I need. But right now, all I have is the demand from my audience, and that’s not quite the same.
Let me know your thoughts. Take care, and I’ll catch you in the next video!
