The story was good up until the last two episodes which ruined the entire storyline for me. The first eight episodes were good and ended with a twist that had me wanting to see where the main story was headed. Once I saw the main twist and where things fell into place, I actually laughed out loud and almost turned off the TV before the episode ended.
I know the series is based off a book, so they had to follow the same storyline. This could have been so much better with a different ending. The author should have went a different route on what was causing all the mystery and suspense. If the show is renewed for a second season, I will definitely not watch it.

I only intended to watch the first episode, but I couldn't stop. I *had* to find out what happened, and I wasn't disappointed, even though I stayed up way too late to finish it.
It's a tribute to the actors that they were able to show the increasing layers of their characters as the story went on and became more complex. Multiple sides of many issues emerged, and one important lesson I took away from The Other Black Girl is that there are no easy or simple answers to problems. It left me wanting more, and it seems that there is more to this story than one season revealed. So, let me just say: bring it on!

This series is riveting and spot on to the journey of many black women rising within our respective careers. To witness the experiences that so many black women live etched out on screen in a way that beautifully personifies the pain, the challenges, and the hope that many of us work to balance on a daily basis is an invigorating journey. You will be coaxed to laugh, pushed to cry, and inspired to ponder the question of what such a powerful and beautiful race of people can accomplish if we could let go of the pervasive pain of slavery's haunting past. Well done, Miss Harris. Season 2...#UpNext please...
I have to be honest and say that the first episode did not really blow me over. I am one of those people who want to know in what direction a series is going, before investing time in what in the end could turn out to be a disappointment. And "The Other Black Girl" is one of those series that you cannot judge by just one episode (as compared to more mainstream series).
But I'm so glad a continued watching and saw the multi-layers of this cross between "The Devil wears Prada", "Get Out" and "Rosemary's Baby".
A wonderful series, great acting, many twists and a thoughtful social commentary without trying to push it in your face.

Just binge watched all 10 episodes and WOW! I'm hooked! Suspenseful, thrilling, funny, and sooooo many twists. Kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I kept saying ok, just one more episode and then I'm going to bed. But of course I ended up watching the entire season in one sitting. It was so freaking good! Last episode was such a cliffhanger so now I know there will definitely be a season 2 and I cannot freaking wait. Y'all, Seriously this is the best show I've watched in years. Please go watch it now. I promise you won't regret it. I have never left a review on here and had to create an account just to leave this review lol.

- TriviaThe first piece of music that Nella listens to on on the subway is the 1998 song "Gimme Some More" by Busta Rhymes. This song famously sampled some tension-filled violin riffs from Bernard Herrmann's score to Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 horror classic Psycho. This music quickly signals that this will be a story that tips toward the horror genre, told through a Black lens.
