Waisting money. Just make it a BET movie and call it a day. There is no need for it to have several episodes.
TLCs movie should’ve been a miniseries too
For what?
Like the money your parents “waisted” sending you to school?
Boy stop. This s*** looks amazing
this is gonna be littt.. I feel it
This looks good. It actually looks cinema worthy but i don’t know if internationally New Edition was that well known.
Fuckkkkkkk ! The TLC movie should have been like this ! those girls have been together for 20+ years , the VH1 movie was rushed ! and there is a lot they didn’t cover .
They were definitely well known internationally
Nice
NE is one of my favorite music groups ever! I’m looking forward to watching this miniseries.
