While Camille brings this all up to explain \u201ccuffing season\u201d (i.e. the colder months inspiring single people to search for a partner to burrow with), I bring it up to explain why spending time with \u201cHarlem\u201d feels about right at this time of year, when fun and cozy programming reigns supreme. From creator Tracy Oliver (\u201cGirls <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trip<\/a>\u201d), the new Amazon Prime Video <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> runs 10 episodes long, but flies by in no time at all.<\/p>\n<p>The season follows Camille and her group of friends, an \u201cunbreakable sisterhood\u201d that includes diehard romantic Quinn (Grace Byers), up-and-coming tech maven Tye (Jerrie Johnson), and ebullient singer Angie (Shoniqua Shandai). As another show about four thirtysomething friends living, laughing, loving in one of New York City\u2019s most rapidly gentrifying neighborhoods, \u201cHarlem\u201d inevitably has some parallels to Starz\u2019s \u201cRun the World.\u201d Still, \u201cHarlem\u201d has more of a bubblegum snap to it, and a different enough slate of actors and storylines to keep the two series distinct enough from each other. After all, plenty of shows have featured a white group of friends trying to make it in the big city; there\u2019s no reason why there shouldn\u2019t be room for two concurrent shows about Black women doing the same.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHarlem,\u201d for one, distinguishes itself by featuring an intriguing main lesbian character in Tye, who quickly becomes one of the show\u2019s most compelling thanks to Johnson\u2019s charismatic performance. Tye\u2019s smart and confident in her abilities, but has a big enough chip on her shoulder to keep her from completely owning her every instinct. And while everyone in \u201cHarlem\u201d is at a crossroads of sorts, as the creator of a dating <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a> exclusively for queer people of color, Tye\u2019s on the edge of the kind of success that could set her up for life. That Tye\u2019s apparently neglected to weave queer people of color into her own life outside of sex and romance is a strange and glaring aspect of her life that somehow never comes up \u2014 but she\u2019s also far from the first gay character on TV to have an entirely straight group of friends, so it\u2019s not entirely a surprise, either.<\/p>\n<p>Good, meanwhile, does the most she can with Camille, a character that\u2019s ostensibly the glue of the group but is by far the least distinct. Even as her voiceovers bookend every episode, Camille turning her anthropological lens on the rom-com exploits around her doesn\u2019t quite work. (The pilot\u2019s motif of having Camille aspire to be like a member of the matriarchal Mosuo clan, featuring a mute Asian woman poking into frame whenever she thinks about it, is a particularly weird and clunky device that does the rest of the episode no real favors.) Though Camille\u2019s storylines are most interesting when Good gets to act opposite Whoop Goldberg as Camille\u2019s discerning new boss, \u201cHarlem\u201d otherwise works best when following her friends, each of whom feels more sharply drawn.<\/p>\n<p>As Quinn and Angie, Byers and Shandai bring out the most nuanced parts of their characters with ease. Byers, best known for playing slinky villain Anika on \u201cEmpire,\u201d draws on that moneyed character to play this new one, but also demonstrates a sharp sense of timing that keeps Quinn compelling. Shandai commands the screen every time she\u2019s on it, especially as Angie gets off Quinn\u2019s couch and into a hilariously cursed musical adaptation of \u201cGet Out.\u201d (The \u201cSunken Place\u201d and \u201cLiberal Family\u201d dance numbers and set design feel just real enough to be that much more uncomfortable; it\u2019s far too easy to imagine this production hitting Broadway any minute now\u2026)<\/p>\n<p>When together, the core four \u201cHarlem\u201d friends have a rapport that makes them easy to hang out with for the few hours the show takes to watch. Even when the script asks them to work in expository dialogue that sounds unnatural when spoken aloud, it otherwise leaves room for the actors to lean on each other\u2019s performances to bring out the best in all of them. As the year winds down and we start craving some smoother entertainment to while away the colder hours, the women of \u201cHarlem\u201d make for some fine company.<\/p>\n<p><em>The first season of \u201cHarlem\u201d is now streaming on Amazon Prime.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-tags \/\/ a-children-icon-bullet lrv-u-font-family-primary u-letter-spacing-012 lrv-u-line-height-large lrv-u-color-brand-primary\">\n<h2 id=\"optional-screen-reader\" class=\"lrv-a-screen-reader-only\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"optional_screen_reader\"><\/span>\n        optional screen reader  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<nav class=\"o-nav  o-nav lrv-u-border-b-1 u-border-color-brand-secondary-40 lrv-u-border-t-1 lrv-u-text-align-center lrv-u-padding-b-025 u-padding-t-050@desktop u-padding-t-050@tablet u-padding-t-050@mobile-max lrv-u-margin-t-2 lrv-u-margin-b-2\" data-dropdown=\"\">\n<h4 id=\"\" class=\"o-nav__title lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-font-family-secondary o-nav__title a-content-ignore u-line-height-140 u-letter-spacing-0002\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Read_More_About\"><\/span>Read More About:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
