More than the movie

After long awaiting the final season of Soul Food, it arrived. I was one of the few in America who did not like the narrative film Soul Food. Too much drama, too little character development; and moreover, it showed a flatten out images of African Americans. So one day while cruising through a huge chain store that has a wonderful selection of Black films, I stumbled across the first season of Soul Food. I purchased because of the low price and I've been hooked ever since. Even though it has been years since the series originally aired, and I am not a cable or satellite television subscriber, I have had to wait until the seasons were issued on DVD. So there is some redemption in it all. The characters were able to be given life. And the cast has been awesome.

One of the reasons I disliked the movie is the boyfriend stealing of Maxine. And the family appears to have accepted Kenny as a natural choice. That rings odd in my world. Oftentimes I've asked individuals about dating a family member's "ex." And it's been taboo. However, there seems to be no such code of ethics in this family. But apparently it happens, albeit strange.

Moreover, the final season does bring some sadness. I guess nothing lasts forever. Of course I did expect some of Terry's issues to straightened out by more than a voiceover by Ahmad in the end.

All in all, this was definitely worth the purchase. Now it's time to rewatch. I'll start with season one. August 18, 2008

One of the best seasons!

I was an avid fan of Soul Food when it was on Showtime! Watching Season 4 over again after 4 years was wonderful! I have purchased all the seasons on dvd, and this one is my 2nd favorite, next to season 1. The cast and writers did an amazing job with this one. It wasn't predictable at all! One shock after another. I would definitely recommend purchasing it. August 13, 2008

soul food final season

I love this series it really capture the essence of young african american family dealing with everyday life. I really hated that it had to end,but Iam glad that the producer were able to go off the air gracefully. Its a wonderfully series and there will probably not be another one like this show for a a long time. Maybe one day they could do a reunion show to show how the joseph sisters are still going strong. It's a good series to have in a collection of african american shows, right up there with a different worlds another good show. August 11, 2008
