The fact that she doesn't explicitly tell him no or go away is maybe a sign of some interest in her.

The series will eventually have to find a way to turn things, so that she does show interest and in some way pursues him or reciprocates. She probably thinks he's nice, but she doesn't seem that moved or even intrigued by him.Īs mentioned before, the relationship feels one-sided. Obviously, once he's out of the hospital, they're free to do whatever. There is perhaps a rule that discourages medical professions from dating their patients. She's just doing her job, but Bob starts flirting and begins pursuing her for a date. Musician-turned-actress Folake Olowofoyeku ( Transparent) co-stars as Abishola, a Nigerian nurse who attends to Bob during his hospital stay. He's single and he's suffered a heart attack. The Tiffany network's push for more diversity on its air is commendable though.īilly Gardell ( Mike & Molly and Young Sheldon) stars as Bob, a businessman who owns a sock-making company in Detroit.

I call it slight because the white family also featured will suck up a bit of the oxygen here. Sadly, CBS isn't in the habit of producing an all-black TV series. Maybe the series will be a slight version of Good Times but with this NIgerian family. If this series were an examination of an immigrant family, it could have the potential of something like Good Times (1974) or The Jeffersons (1975), which was the subject of an Emmy-winning production this year. If this series was just about the Nigerian family, it would be vastly more interesting than what will most likely be a lame romance. What's great is that the series puts on screen a Nigerian family as a significant presence. Not all successful relationships begin with sparks, but it's certainly a tougher hill to climb if there are no sparks or chemistry. Obviously, the series is intending to build a relationship between the two slowly and over the course of an extended period of time, but I just don't feel any sparks between the two.

Right now, I don't see any chemistry between the two titular characters. She doesn't seem hot for him or even all that impressed. She doesn't seem all that attracted to him. In fact, the man almost comes across as a stalker than a potential love interest. So far, it's all about the man pursuing the woman when there doesn't appear to be any or not much interest from the woman. A man develops feelings for a woman and those feelings might not be reciprocated. The first episode in particular suggests the same. First, the title of the series suggests a one-sided relationship.

Unfortunately, the premise to this series feels uncomfortable.
