The Best Man:The Final Chapters
Peacock's "The Best Man: The Final Chapters" is an epic, end-of-an-era ending comparable to "Avengers: Endgame" for aficionados of a particular era of Black cinema. The precise time frame is that of the Black romantic comedy's ascendancy, roughly between 1990 and 2000. Black indie cinema and Black romantic novels came together to create such masterpieces as "Love and Basketball," "Brown Sugar," and "Love Jones," among others.

Hall, Terrence Howard, Nia Long, Harold Perrineau, and Sanaa Lathan, is a veritable murderers' row of the modern era.Black rom-com enthusiasts who don't consider the original "Best Man" to be their favorite will acknowledge that it undoubtedly stars someone from their favorite since they've spent their careers playing together in a variety of movies.

The ensemble has spent decades playing more combinations of friends, lovers, adversaries, and siblings than a sketch comedy company, so when the group gets together, as in 2013's "The Best Man Holiday," there is a real esprit de corps. No wonder even at its darkest moments, the eight-part finale series by Lee and Dayna Lynne North seems cheerful and jubilant. It serves as both a melancholy cast reunion à la "The Big Chill" and a long-term study of the rom-com subgenre in Black Hollywood.

An extensive montage of the first two movies opens the pilot. This is how the first one goes: The marriage of Lance (Chestnut) and Mia (Calhoun), college sweethearts, is attended by author Harper Stewart (Diggs).they formed the core of their larger network of buddies. There are several members of that clique present to celebrate, including Quentin (Howard), Jordan (Long), Murch (Perrineau), and Shelby (DeSousa). The approaching publication of Harper's debut book, a flimsily disguised roman à clef that recounts their

college escapades and features a previously unreported affair between Harper and the bride, is the dark cloud hanging over the wedding. That summary illustrates the franchise's innate soapiness because it barely touches on the tangled web these people weave together. The most effective form for "The Best Man" is as a single-camera soap opera, with the majority of the action being fueled by the disclosure of longkept secrets and the eruption of longsimmering resentments. That's why "Final Chapters" transitions smoothly once it gets its footing.from a movie to a TV show. Furthermore, it argues that "The Best Man" could have been a fantastic television series all along.
However, the program must first wrap up unfinished business. Specifically, the upcoming nuptials of Quentin, a wild womanizer who made his engagement known as the

The function as a standalone most likely bear a similarity to the script Lee developed but never produced for the third movie in the series.In the third episode, "Final Chapters" transitions into a television program, opening with a whirlwind montage that covers more than a decade and nearly entirely ignores the Trump presidency and the epidemic. Fans have never seen the protagonists settle into their regular lives in the celebration-based flicks, but the dramatic time shift makes this possible. The transition in the show's tone is anchored by the jump forward. The focus on Quentin, whose boisterous humor reveals Howard's expertise at nailing a joke, makes the wedding episodes generally hilarious. In spite of one character, Lance, who in "Holiday" is grieving the loss of his wife Mia, being in a terrible place, the show never stops being

nuance than they may have had on their own. As Robyn, who transitioned from being Harper's impatient girlfriend to his wife and the mother of his kid, Lathan has always been strong. She is, however, combustible in this most recent incarnation of Robyn, who yearns to pursue her passion for cooking and slams into Harper's selfcentered behavior. Lathan's voice hasn't cracked like this since the Terry McMillan adaption "Disappearing Acts," which was released the year following "The Best Man.” Shelby, whose role in the program varies from that of the previous season, receives the highest character glow-up.

of a hot sauce to that of a common dish. DeSousa seizes the opportunity to portray a wide caricature's more human side for the first time, and she does so admirably. Hall, who portrays Murch's wife Candice, is as tough and resilient as ever, but throughout the majority of the series, Candice floats off into a far-off story arc that never gets off the ground. The same is true for Jordan, played by Long, whose sole concentration is her career, necessitating work scenes that sink more frequently than they float. Not every chapter of "Final Chapters" is successful, especially when it dabbles in topicality. Well-intentioned yet awkward, a main plot involving gender identification has traits in common with a parody of sexual harassment. With racing, the program performs better.It is skilfully included into Murch's storyline and was rarely handled in the Black rom-com subgenre but is impossible to leave out of this expanded story.

As previously stated, these specific characters don't conduct in a way that is inconsistent with their on-screen personas, but spending too much time with them reveals why he or she may not have always been the best person.

Holiday's conclusion raises a significant query. By the end of The Best Man: The Final Chapters Season 1 Episode 2, "The Wedding," it is resolved. Robin is a considerably more interesting character in this program than she was in any of the films, despite the fact that she is frequently only thought of as Harper's wife. Though Julian is Julian In the first half of The Best Man: The Final Chapters, he plays a pretty entertaining version of himself.
