Is Bet the new home for relationship shows? Between The Game and Let's Stay Together, the system is consistently building a slate of scripted arrangement in that domain. Presently comes its last offering, Being Mary Jane, a strong new arrangement featuring Gabrielle Union, that —in to a degree a takeoff from the different shows —is less about being seeing someone it is about being without one.
Assemble by the makers behind The Game and Jumping the Broom, Being Mary Jane spins around Union as an auspicious Tv stay who is weighed around her not-so satisfying individual life. As well as the finish of her most cutting edge sentiment —which fails after she uncovers that the man she's been catching with is really wedded —Mary ends up always loaded with family obligations, incorporating a debilitated mother, an interminably broke sibling, and a niece who continues popping out toddlers. Through everything, Jane just needs some camaraderie. The turn? She understands it may not be a man she needs, however rather a child.
The plot may resemble a platitude rom-com, yet rest guaranteed this is not the little screen form of The Back Up Plan...at minimum not by any stretch of the imagination. Peppered with snappy Rihanna tunes and convenient pop-society references (Mary has a standing date to watch Revenge with her Bff), the pilot is shockingly clever, crisp, and influencing. A great part of the credit heads off to Union, who figures out how to catch her character's single gal sorrow without making her show up powerless or poor, even as the story —no spoilers —takes a touch of an implausible turn around the finish of the arrangement starting motion picture.
Jane will come back to Bet as an arrangement at some point in 2014. It's a long hold up —yet accepting the show presses on to satisfy its pilot —I'm eager to adhere around to figure out exactly how Being Mary Jane works out.
