Entertainment Weekly: Harlem Review, A smart, sleek, and sharp comedy about living single in the city.

Tracy Oliver's new Amazon Prime Video comedy — starring Meagan Good, Jerrie Johnson, Shoniqua Shandai, and Grace Byers — is a frequently hilarious treat.

"Female friends helping each other navigate love and life in an urban setting" is a TV template as old as time — or at least as old as Living Single (1993) and Sex and the City (1998). Over the years, many shows have tried to replicate the sleek appeal of those singular series, but only a handful have succeeded in creating something truly original: Girlfriends (2000), Girls (2012), Insecure(2016) — and now Harlem (2021), the breezy, clever, and beautiful-to-look-at new comedy from creator Tracy Oliver.
