(Season 2, Episode 7)

"So, I Was Watching..."The Best Man: The Final Chapters on Peacock

Since 1999 we’ve followed the lives of Harper (Taye Diggs), Robyn (Sanaa Lathan), Jordan (Nia Long), Lance (Morris Chestnut), Quentin (Terrence Howard), Shelby (Melissa De Sousa), Candace (Regina Hall), and Murch (Harold Perrineau) in the “The Best Man” franchise written and directed by Malcolm D. Lee. 14 years later “The Best Man Holiday” updated fans on what was happening with our favorite group of college friends and lovers in 2013 and now in 2022 for the first time the franchise gets a TV series format as the story comes to a close in The Best Man: The Final Chapters.

For 8 episodes, The Best Man: The Final Chapters showcases a new stage of the life of the beloved characters as “relationships evolve and past grievances resurface in the unpredictable stages of midlife crisis meets midlife renaissance.” In the last "So, I Was Watching..." episode of 2022 I talk about the key parts of the series that stood out to me the most, so be warned SPOILERS are ahead.

Talking Points in This Episode

Shelby and Quentin's relationship
The unraveling of Harper and Robyn's marriage
Murch finding himself in his marriage
Candace's me too moment
Jordan's girl-boss mentality
Lance grieving Mia and rebuilding a relationship with his child LJ
