Netflix is out with its latest weekly snapshot of the biggest TV shows on the platform, and the winner this week is 2-week-old new release: It’s Beauty in Black, the new Tyler Perry-created drama that’s actually … getting slammed with bad reviews despite performing well.

The new show, part of Perry’s creative partnership with Netflix that involves him writing, directing, and producing films and series under a multi-year first-look deal with the streamer, tells the story of two women who lead very different lives. One of them, Kimmie, struggles to make a living after her mother kicked her out, while the other woman, named Mallory, is running a successful business. Eventually, they find themselves entangled in each other’s lives — and we’ll take a closer look at the show below.

To learn more about some of this week’s other most-watched series, you can go deeper by checking out our previous coverage of several of the Netflix originals on this list — including the new neo-Western series Territory that’s set in the Australian Outback, as well as the political thriller The Diplomat and beloved YA drama Outer Banks. For now, though, let’s focus on the biggest Netflix TV series in the world at the moment.

Beauty in Black — #1 on Netflix

I noted above that the reviews for Perry’s new show (which is a Top 10 Netflix series this week in 81 countries) are pretty brutal, in spite of its #1 ranking this week. We’re talking a 49% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, and a 5/10 on IMDb. Ouch.

Unfortunately, that’s starting to feel par for the course when it comes to Perry’s work, with his Netflix movie Mea Culpa from earlier this year meeting a similar fate — a strong initial showing, but abysmal reviews. Explains Netflix, “Set in Atlanta, the story brings together a wealthy Black family atop a hair care dynasty and an exotic dancer caught up in the seedy underbelly of a famed Magic City strip club.”

The show is split into two parts for some reason, and Perry said in a Netflix promotional interview that he took inspiration from Atlanta’s strip club scene as well as from his familiarity with real-life hair care dynasties. “The hair care business here is huge [and] Magic City is huge, and I was like, ‘What happened if those worlds collided — the stripper world and this hair care business?’” Perry continued. “Never ever underestimate the power of the underdog.”
