elvsgarf They all 3 have the same daddy but what about their moms. Cuz Nova talks like her mom is dead. But Charlie talks like her mom is alive. Im confused but other than that this show is great cant wait for the next episode. I feel bad for the son cuz he always seems angry. Its not anyone fault he did wrong and went to jail as they say in the 1st episode

ms-mani1 I love this show! Very heartwarming,great acting. I love the strength of each character. The aunt is an awesome, strong women, who holds the entire family together. Both sisters are awesome as well. Can't wait to see how the relationship between Charley and Remy unfolds! As well as Violet and Hollywood's relationship. This show definitely has my attention. I can hardly wait until the following week after watching current episode/s. I hope it's here to stay. Thanks Oprah! Although it's no surprise that everything you touch turns to gold. Wishing you much success on this and more to come! Keep it up! I'm staying tuned. Happy Holidays!

a-mmerchant I guess if you have not read the book you will love the show. I had to watch the first episode several times because it was so different. In the book Charlie's husband is dead and she has a daughter not a son. Hollywood was Creole and looked almost white, he does not have a wife but stays on the family's old plantation, Blues mother died from a drug over dose, there is no sister named Nova, this is what really threw me! There are only 2 siblings and Charley is Ralph Angel's half sister. The father has already died so there is no family gathering for a funeral, also Remy is white. And where the hell is Miss Honey, Violets mother, because she is the one that raised Ralph Angel and when Charle and Micah return to Louisiana it's at her house they stay, not Violet's. I am watching the show, and each time I have to remind myself to put the book out of my mind! I just don't understand why so many changes were made! I don't think there are any spoilers here but how can it be when the show is so much more different than book. I was and am really disappointed.

twosaturns The TV show is not bad. It's so very VERY different from the book, it's somewhat confusing. As usual, with books and movies, I would say the book is 100 per cent better.They made a lot of changes when they brought it to TV.....only 2 siblings, Charley has a daughter and not a son....I could go on and on, but it's better to read the book and decide for yourself.I had to watch the first episode twice to grasp what was going on.Isn't Ralph Angel's wife still alive in the TV show? She's not in the book and I think that has a lot to do with the way he handles his struggles to raise Blue. A lot of people seem to like the show so I am sure it will be a hit. Congrats OWN TV on a winner. (But the book is still better! Enjoy!)
