I watched the first episode of Love Is and it was kinda cute, but I’m not wowed or anything yet. The music and cinematography is really good but the acting is average at best so far. And I’m also very ehh on another light skin mixed woman/dark skin male couple. I get that the story is based on Salim and Mara Brock Akil’s real life relationship but Mara ain’t really that light, she’s more Candice Patton or Yara.

I’m done wasting my time though, so if I don’t like it by episode 4, I’m dropping it. The past year I watched way too much TV I wasn’t actually enjoying

Oh also both the main characters are black Muslims so that’s cool and different

She did say in the interviews that the show has posted that she also
chose Michele (along with her spirit during addition) because during the casting process she realized she also
had to separate a bit and pick someone who didn’t look too much like
her. I do get folks feelings on this at the same time though
