The plot of the show revolves around a group of single black females. These ladies come from very different walks of life, but they all have one thing in common. They are all single, and each is wondering why this is the case. Perry is brilliant in taking this very important topic and expanding upon it. This is something that most people can relate to, especially those who have been single for a long time. The ladies in the series bond with one another as they seek to figure out why they’re still single and what if anything can be done about that.
7. The show gets complicated
Just when you start to like the characters, Perry takes you a little deeper into their lives. Each has a complicated set of circumstances that leads to some real and intense drama. A single woman enduring ups and downs of their careers, managing complicated love life and friendships and re-examining their relationship goals, are they even realistic? For anyone who has ever questioned this, the show is poignant. It’s guaranteed to take you on a roller-coaster of emotions with just enough humor to break up the drama every now and then.

This show is an hour-long, which gives you a lot more time for the story-line of each episode to develop.

There’s ample time for the setup from one episode to another to keep you wanting to come back for more.
9. The show could be inspiring
We’re guessing that “Sistas” is a series that is going to have the biggest appeal to women in the 18-49-year-old age range. The reason we make this assumption is because of the age of the characters and the stage of life they’re in. They’re busy working and trying to build a future. One of the main themes focuses on romantic relationships, which is something that usually appeals to women in this age group. There are likely to be good tips on what not to do in a relationship as well as what does work.
10. Guys can learn a lot from watching the show too
It takes two to make a relationship and although the show focuses upon single women, there are a lot of guys in the cast too. “Sistas” looks like a series that could have an appeal for men as well as for women, because there are elements that take into consideration what men go through in relationships as well as women.Tyler Perry
