Tyler Perry’s Sistas | Zac’s M.u.r.d.e.r Suspect Board Isn’t Being Used As Much As It Should Be

The M.u.r.d.e.r Board and Season’s Progression

1. Introduction to the M.u.r.d.e.r Board:
   • The season kicked off with Zach’s “m.u.r.d.e.r board,” which drew parallels to the viewer’s own methods for tracking theories about shows.
   • The viewer hoped the m.u.r.d.e.r board would play a central role, helping keep track of suspects and plot developments.
2. Mid-Season Progress and Questions Left Unanswered:
   • As the season nears its halfway point (around Episode 15), the viewer points out that key questions, like “Who stabbed Gary?” remain unanswered.
   • The show started with Gary being stabbed, but now, several episodes in, there are more questions than answers—such as Gary’s alleged memory loss and the circumstances around his IV being drugged.
   • Despite this, Gary’s escape from the hospital and his continued survival make it feel like the stabbing mystery is losing its urgency.

Gary’s Health and the Missed Opportunities

1. Gary’s Near-Death Experiences:
   • Gary has technically “died” multiple times (heart attack/stroke, IV drugging, seizure), making the question of who stabbed him almost irrelevant to his ongoing storyline.
   • The viewer finds this drawn-out process frustrating and believes the lack of resolution around the stabbing detracts from the overall mystery.
2. The Missed Potential of the M.u.r.d.er Board:
   • The viewer thought the m.u.r.d.e.r board would evolve throughout the season, with suspects being added or removed, but it has not been used as effectively as expected.
   • The episodic nature of the story is criticized for lacking cohesion, making it feel less exciting.

Karen’s Pregnancy and the Pacing of the Season

1. Karen’s Pregnancy:
   • The viewer speculated that Season 8 would be split into two halves: one focusing on the mystery of Gary’s stabbing, and the other on Karen’s pregnancy.
   • Given the slow pace (one day covered across multiple episodes), the viewer believes Karen’s pregnancy might stretch far into future seasons, possibly until Season 12.

The Shift in Focus: Gary’s Accusations and Hayden

1. The Focus Shifting from the Stabbing Mystery to Hayden:
   • The show has shifted its focus to finding evidence on Hayden to deflect suspicion from Zach and Fatima.
   • The viewer finds this transition odd, as it seems the characters are more interested in blaming someone else (Hayden) rather than solving the original stabbing mystery.
2. Plot Inconsistencies:
   • The viewer points out inconsistencies in the storyline, such as the case being “closed” with Penelope’s arrest, but characters still worrying about being implicated.

Final Thoughts on the Storytelling

1. Zach’s Efforts:
   • While the viewer admires Zach’s efforts with the m.u.r.d.e.r board and detective work, they feel the show hasn’t fully utilized the board’s potential to drive the story forward.
   • The episodic nature of the show, with its scattered plot points, is seen as a missed opportunity for deeper storytelling.

The viewer invites others to share their thoughts, encouraging a discussion in the comments about the pacing, the m.u.r.d.e.r mystery, and the direction of the season.
