Is Uncle Clifford Still Looking For a Cook at The Pynk?

*Spoiler Alert*
Playwrite Katori Hall created a nice gem for the small screen. I haven't reviewed a TV show after its first season in a long time. No show is exempt from ever getting the ax abruptly. So, I started to only review shows if they have a series finale. But P-Valley got me so hyped I just had to review its 1st season.  

If you are living under a rock without access to the Starz network, the show, P-Valley (based on a play named Pussy Valley) several people(including a non-binary owner, a daughter of an aspiring pastor, a real estate lawyer, an abuse victim, and a mysterious lady) who work at or around a popular but failing strip club in a small town in the Mississippi Delta called Chucalisa. I was a fan of the show after the 1st episode. And I think I should hand out some rewards and give my Season 2 suggestions to the creator & writers.

My Favorite Character:

Hailey Colton a*k*a Lakeisha Savage a*k*a Autumn Night a*k*a September October 

As a card-carrying member of this particular brigade, Stop Underestimating The Pretty Girls!!! Only one person heard what she said and that was Gidget. And I think she is scared her a little. Uncle Clifford & Andre didn't take her financial words seriously. Big L, Diamond, and Mercedes just thought she was doing the bare minimum in order to finesse. That mindset almost cost her. Mercedes does come around. Hopefully, the rest will. Because Pretty Girls Make the World Go Around!!!

Most Disliked:

3. Patrice Woodbine

2. Lil Murda

1. Mayor Tydell Ruffin 

I have one word to describe all three of them, Stereotypes. Patrice is a stereotype called Church Folks. Those are the misconstrued definitions of Christian. Lil Murda is the stereotype of trendy hip hop. Gold Grill, mumbled slanguage, and faking who he isn't and what he doesn't have is not hip hop. And the Mayor(I can't stand him the most. Hope he gets so upset about the casino deal, he has a heart attack and dies)is the stereotype of a flashy Southern politician that believes if you pull yourself up by your bootstraps you will succeed(or as I called them "bootstrappers").

Reason Why I Could Never be a Cougar:

LaMarques 

There is a difference between Lil Murda & him. He's immature. So immature that he didn't even know the dangers of living his truth. So, until LaMarques get a true knowledge of himself, Uncle Clifford & he will Never work. Maybe LaMarques will kill Lil Murda, one day. Then I will be a fan of them together. 

Most Shocking Storylines

Mercedes & Daquon a*k*a DJ Neva Scared

Episode 3 blew my hair up. Daquon is a high school student. I was hoping he was 18 and a senior. Nope, he's 15 years old.

The non-used mother hen in me started paying attention to that DJ Neva Scared doesn't see much passed the DJ booth. He's rarely seen in the office during payouts. Then we found out Mercedes is the birth mother of a pre-teen. Next season I need some backstory on the rapport between her, her child's father (who is deceased) & and his wife, who is the custodial parent to the daughter. Because right now, I see a sexual abuse/molestation situation that is trying to be normalized as adultery. Also, how did she lose custody of her daughter, Terricka?

My Favorite 'Ships:

Mercedes & Mane and Hailey & Andre

What? I like a nice hood love story. He likes her. She's attracted to him And they Respect one another's hustle. Now as for Andre & Hailey, I understand people realizing that they were with the wrong people and finding the right one. Even if it starts off very sketchy & scandalous. And I blame the casino deal for the sketchiness. And Andre, your wife saw the both of you.

Relationship That Made Me Proud:

Uncle Clifford, Big L, & Diamond

In a world where toxic masculinity runs rampant, it was refreshing to see a non-binary person have a healthy relationship with two heterosexual men. They don't mumble gay slurs under their breath. She doesn't push herself upon them in a flirtatious manner. It is a respectful boss-employee relationship.

Favorite Song on the Show Other Than the Theme:

*sigh* Blame my dislike of y'alls fave on Drunk Lauren for singing Fallin' to death in episode 5. And I'm not a major Trap Music fan. The tithe song Patrice sung in episode 1 was hilarious. It's definitely better than when preachers beg for the offering. But my favorite was Mount Everest by Labrinth that was playing at the end of episode 7. So much so I bought it from Amazon. And yes that mountain is not better than me at all. LoL Oh Profanity Warning!

Alright, let's talk about what I like to see in Season 2.

Again I want some backstory on how Mercedes became a mother.

More character development on Diamond and his attraction to Miss Mississippi & the character Gidget and she learning the truth about her romance.

A Battle of the Churches for the souls in sinful Chucalisa

I want a little exposition on Daquon a*k*a DJ Neva Scared. What does his schoolwork look like? How do his parents know Uncle Clifford?

Could there be local Delta Devoted gang members in Chucalisa? I am watching all rings & jewelry henceforth.

Can we get a Male Revue night? Corbin & Andre will need jobs after the first casino deal falls apart. An since they fail at their security jobs during Murda Night, Diamond & Big L owe Uncle Clifford for being distracted.

I want Uncle Clifford to learn financially from Autumn. I want The Pynk to prosper. I would hate for her to eff off the money that saved the club.

(Side Note: I will be diving into opinions about Mississippi aka Keyshawn and her abusive relationship in October. Blame your comments I see & hear.)

Well, let me as Uncle Clifford says, "pooch on" & gather recipes for Hailey & Uncle Clifford to try for when I interview for the cook position. I'm not pole ready, but still want to work at The Pynk. And I want them to enjoy everything they taste. If not, then I'll be the new life coach in Chucalisa. Lord knows the town needs one.
