Summer Slack TV Finales - Queens - Season One

Queens is an American musical drama television series that premiered on October 19, 2021, on ABC. Starring musical superstars Eve, Brandy, Naturi Naughton from 3LW along with starring in Power & Nadine Velazquez.

Eve, Brandy, Naturi & Velazquez are Brianna, Naomi, Jill and Valeria once appeared as the "Nasty Bitches" in the 1990s. This is the same era, Eve, Brandy & Naturi were household musical names. Eve's Let me Blow Your Mind was a monster anthem back in the day.


Together, the four of them not only turned the world of hip-hop upside down but also achieved legendary status through their music. The four women are now in their forties, unworldly and largely estranged from one another. By reuniting the four, there is now a chance to return to old fame and prestige. But will the former megastars, also known as Professor Sex, Butter Pecan, Jill Da Thrill, and Xplicit Lyrics, manage to achieve this ambitious goal?

The 13 part first season could be there last. The show has been one of the lowest ranking series this US TV season.

Sadly the show has hardly been given a look in. Buried at 10pm on the TV schedule on Tuesday evenings, it's no wonder hardly anyone is watching it live. However even with 7 day later ratings the show hardly gets much of a rise.

With Eve missing for the line share of the back end of the season, it was nice to see a wee surprise in episode 13.

With just over one million viewers for the season (maybe series) finale, Queens returning for the 2022-2023 season could be a big ask. Queens was a fun, easy breezy watch with some 90's queens on the small screen, however I think I still preferred the now cancelled Star with Brandy back on the Fox network.
