Netflix enthusiasts are up in arms as the much-debated show by Tyler Perry, Beauty in Black, has dropped its latest series on the platform. The initial batch of episodes aired back in October, and now viewers have been treated to the concluding eight instalments.
This show delves into the lives of two starkly different women whose destinies intertwine, with a storyline that reads: “An exotic dancer’s fate takes a turn when she crosses paths with the dysfunctional family behind a cosmetics dynasty and a devious trafficking scheme.”
Upon its release, the Perry production garnered polarised reviews, mainly skewing negative. A dissatisfied IMDB commenter pulled no punches, saying: “If I could rate it with zero, I would, given how bad the series is. Terrible acting, poor dialogue, everything done in a completely amateurish way.”

Yet, there were those who got hooked, with one viewer admitting: “I finished this in 1 day. Not a big fan of his [Tyler Perry] shows but this one was entertaining. Not so sure why so many negative reviews. […]Can’t wait for the next 8 episodes!”
With the final instalments now out, crowds have rushed online to express their enthusiasm, reports Surrey Live.
Fans are buzzing on X, formerly known as Twitter, with one viewer writing: “New episodes of Beauty in Black are out I am kicking and screaming rn,” while another is all set for a marathon session, posting: “Beauty in Black [is] back on don’t call my phone.”
