July TV Finales - Run the World - Season One

Run the World is my latest TV obsession which only debuted back on May 16, 2021. But guess what? It's already concluded it's first (hopefully not last) season.

The show is fab airing on Stan created by Leigh Davenport, along with co-executive producer with show runner Yvette Lee Bowser. 

The Starz (US network) series is set in Harlem, centring on a group of friends (Amber Stevens West, Andrea Bordeaux, Bresha Webb & Corbin Reid) navigating relationships and the professional world. 

The series received positive critical reception whilst holding a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. Now that is impressive!

More impressive, I loved this series, HARD!


The tagline for this series is. Run the World is the story of a group of Black women – vibrant, fiercely loyal best friends – who work, live and play in Harlem as they strive for world domination. At its core, it's an unapologetically female show about enviable friendship and not only surviving – but thriving together.

Bresha Webb as Renee Ross is a bloody standout. Her one liners, her dancing, her vibe. Makes this show a hit.

I truly hope this does return for a second series. I strongly believe it will with Starz renewing the next chapter of Power before even airing an episode, along with renewals for P Valley, Hightown and picking up another season of Step Up from YouTube.

If you have Stan during this extended lockdown, do yourselves a favour and check out Run the World, you won't regret it.
