Run the World
Run the World
A worthy, updated successor to Living Single — from the same creator, Yvette Lee Bowser — Run the World follows four successful independent women in Harlem navigating envious careers, hot (and not so hot) dates, the inevitable disappointments, and the friendships that help them bounce back. It sounds familiar, but it defies cliches, delivers wit and glamour and some depth. An addictive escape watch, and not just for the target audience.
