Eve, Brandy, Naturi Naughton and Nadine Velazquez star as members of a hip-hop group who reunite to restart their music career, two decades after they peaked in the late '90s.
The premiere episode crams an impressive amount of backstory into its 44 minutes, starting with a music video that serves as an efficient encapsulation of exactly who these women used to be. The lavish production checks all the boxes of an MTV hit from the era: a yacht, a mansion, a long line of shirtless hunks, an obviously CG explosion and the Nasty Girls winking and sneering at the camera in front of all of it. But the video is intercut with scenes that show who these women are now.
The confident “Professor Sex,” for example, is now just Brianna , a busy mom of five whose life soundtrack these days is “Baby Shark.” One by one, the other band members get similar intros: “Da Thrill” is now Jill , a prim and proper church lady; “Xplicit Lyrics” is Naomi , a struggling singer-songwriter; and “Butter Pecan” is Valeria , a morning show host and the only one of the quartet who’s managed to hold on to some semblance of fame.‘ early promise lies in the magic of its leads.
And these women are rarely better than when they’re freestyling together in the studio. Considering the cast’s combined musical experience and Swizz Beatz’ role as executive music producer, it’s little surprise thatis blessed with an all-bangers soundtrack that’s heavy on hip-hop icons but omnivorous enough to include the likes of Portishead.
The most promising is the Nasty Bitches’ relationship with Lil Muffin , an up-and-coming rapper in whom they see a reflection of their own highs and lows at her age. It’s in that storyline thattoLess confident are the shifts in tone among some of these plotlines. At timestakes on the rhythms of a bouncy comedy, even in storylines that are otherwise played straight and somber. Other times, it cranks up the sensuality with neon lighting and a moody song.
