‘The Real Housewives Of Potomac’ have been setting off all sorts of fireworks with their fourth season. 

Past instalments have seen etiquette serve as the center of conflict. However, the show’s latest cycle has seen the drama between the Maryland matriarchs escalate like never before.

‘Potomac’ staples Gizelle Bryant, Karen Huger, Ashley Darby, Robyn Dixon, and Monique Samuels are back in the mix — as is last season’s addition Candiace Dillard. Familiar face Katie Rost has returned in a “Friend Of” capacity.

Thus far, the show’s fourth outing has made for gripping viewing – so much so that many have pegged it the best Housewives franchise thus far this year.

And, per a newly released midseason trailer, there’s still a whole lot more to come.

The good news cloud just keeps raining on fans of R&B songstress/reality television maven Tamar Braxton.

After ending 2018 with news she was readying a new reality TV venture without her highly successful run alongside the Braxton sisters on WeTV’s ‘Braxton Family Values,’ the singer-songwriter kicked 2019 into high gear by making history as the first African American winner of ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ (click here to read more) and also announcing – despite her prior reports of ‘retiring’ from the music industry – that she was readying new music.

While her followers, affectionately called #Tamartians, have kept their ears and eyes peeled for news regarding her Steve Harvey-sanctioned talk show, she’s gone on record to confirm the show is not happening.  Never fear, however, as the 42-year-old’s not bouncing back with one, but two new projects coming to screens near you…and soon.

‘When They See Us’ – Netflix’s gripping four part miniseries recounting the infamous wrongful conviction of the ‘Central Park Five’ (in relation to 1989’s Central Park jogger case) – easily rings as one of the streaming giant’s most talked about shows ever.

Created, co-written, and directed by Ava DuVernay, the project – which stars Niecy Nash, Jharrel Jerome, Michael K. Williams, and many more – premiered on May 31st and has been a constant conversation piece on social media since.  Earning weigh-ins from celebrities and even prosecutors, lawyers, and other figures involved with the case, its reception has not only been met with critical acclaim for its vivid storytelling but also for shedding light on social and legal injustice.

Historically, Netflix has been mum about releasing ratings figures related to its showings, but a recent Twitter post suggests the viewership number is staggering.  Details inside:

As cult shows go, few can rival the resonance of ‘The Boondocks.’

First broadcast in 2006, Aaron McGruder‘s Adult Swim animation proved an immediate hit and served as a Pop culture provocateur; indeed, it sparked just as much debate as it did laughter. The show is also renown for foreshadowing much what would take place in the socio-political landscape.

Naturally, said traits saw the series court ample controversy; resulting in a three year gap between its third and fourth seasons and the absence of its creator McGruder for the latter.

Boondocks fans rejoice, though! Because five years after it last aired, it’s been confirmed that the show is being rebooted!

Amidst an ongoing backlash that’s seen her resign from the boards of colleges and nonprofit organizations as well as being dropped by her publisher, author Linda Fairstein – the former Manhattan District Attorney’s office prosecutor who led the controversy surrounding the Central Park Five case of the late 80’s – is speaking out against Ava DuVernay, the creator of the television special that’s causing the commotion in the 72-year-old’s personal and professional life.

Titled ‘When They See Us,’ the miniseries (which premiered May 31 on Netflix) recounts the reported mishandling of the case’s evidence (or lack thereof) and the impact the unwarranted guilty verdict had on the Central Park Five’s respective lives.  In a new think piece presented in ‘Wall Street Journal,’ Fairstein asserts Duvernay’s depiction of her willfully neglecting key aspects of the investigation that led to the five’s conviction  (as portrayed by embattled actress Felicity Huffman) is defamatory.

That’s not all she said.  Look inside for more:
