A year end look back at 13 Freshman TV series of 2013 @FILMTVDIVERSITY applauds and celebrates for their Diversity in featuring people of color in prominent roles, in random order. #8 OWNTV and Tyler Perry's The Haves and the Have Nots is probably the biggest breakout show story of the year as OWN TV's first scripted series it hit ratings gold and set unseen rating and demo reach benchmarks for the young network. It's fall finale alone made history for Own with a series high 2.6 million viewers making it one of the most watched episodes in network history.
The show wasn't ABC's Scandal like over the edge, but they indeed pushed the boundaries of the human spirit and the limits of how far people may or may not go to keep their secrets. The show stealers by many accounts were sexy seductress 'Candace Young' played to perfection by Tika Sumpter and not to be out done 'Kathyrn Cryer' played by Renee Lawless.
Tyler Perry actually flipped the script in some respects, without giving too many spoilers "The Haves" were not always as one would expect, the one's who Had it going on or in control. The series look at addiction and one character's struggle with sexual identity, albeit controversial to some in the African American LGBT community, combined with its multicultural cast in not so atypical roles helped make it among our list of Freshman TV Series to celebrate.
For those watching television for 100% believability or reflections of how everything in life may play out, we can only say, "TV may be the wrong medium to be watching".
