Just when you thought your watchlist couldn’t get any longer, Netflix drops another must-see series that’s sure to spark conversation. If you’re a fan of intense dramas filled with scandal and intrigue, then “Beauty in Black” might just be your next binge-worthy obsession. Created by Tyler Perry, a filmmaker renowned for his impactful storytelling within the African-American community, this new series promises to be a thrilling addition to his diverse body of work.
Tyler Perry is no stranger to stirring emotions; his productions often ignite both praise and criticism. While some point out the stereotypes and clichés in his work, there’s no denying that he has a knack for captivating audiences. From sitcoms to extravagant dramas and sensual thrillers, his stories resonate with many who find themselves in a love-hate relationship with his content. Continuing his exclusive partnership with Netflix, Perry brings “Beauty in Black” to the streaming platform, following earlier releases that have kept viewers talking.
What Is “Beauty in Black”?
Rated for mature audiences, “Beauty in Black” is a dramatic powerhouse that weaves together elements of thriller, scandal, sensuality, and high-stakes business. Spanning 16 episodes, the series intertwines the lives of two women from vastly different worlds.
On one side is Kimmie (played by Taylor Polidore), a stripper with a tragic family background. After being kicked out by her mother and spending time in prison, she’s fighting to make ends meet. On the other side is Mallory (Crystle Stewart), a woman who has climbed her way out of poverty to become a successful businesswoman. She helms a cosmetics company owned by her wealthy but dysfunctional in-laws—a family harboring dark secrets linked to the underworld that Kimmie navigates, albeit unwillingly.
Despite their contrasting lives, Kimmie and Mallory find their paths crossing through a series of dramatic events involving accidents, betrayals, assaults, and a botched surgery. The storyline is packed with twists and turns, pushing the limits of a high-stakes thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
If you’re reminded of series like “Empire” with its blend of power dynamics, hidden agendas, and family drama, you’re not far off. “Beauty in Black” offers a similar allure but stands on its own with a unique narrative. It’s a gripping tale of survival, showcasing how these two women strive to overcome an oppressive and dangerous male-dominated world that does them no favors.
The cast is a powerhouse of talent, featuring Steven G. Norfleet (“Watchmen”), Amber Reign Smith (“Judge Me Not”), Ricco Ross (“The Sandman”), Julian Horton (“Tough Love: Atlanta”), Tamera Kissen (“White Men Can’t Jump”), and Charles Malik Whitfield (“Chicago Med”). Adding depth to the ensemble are veteran actors Debbi Morgan (“Eve’s Bayou,” “All My Children,” “Power”) and Richard Lawson (“Poltergeist,” “V”).
“Beauty in Black” is now streaming on Netflix, ready to take you on a rollercoaster of emotions. Just a heads up—once you start watching, you might find it hard to stop. So grab your popcorn, settle in, and prepare for a series that’s as thrilling as it is thought-provoking.
