Twenties is a comedy-drama television series that was created by Lena Waithe and premiered on BET on March 4, 2020. The show tells the story of a young black woman named Hattie (Jojo T. Gibbs) and her two best friends, Marie (Christina Elmore) and Nia (Gabrielle Graham) as they navigate their twenties in Los Angeles. Hattie is an aspiring television writer who is determined to make it in the entertainment industry, but she struggles to find her footing. She is confident and ambitious, but her optimism is often tested as she deals with rejection and personal setbacks. Along the way, she finds comfort and support from her two closest friends, who are equally determined to chase their dreams and make something of themselves in the City of Angels. Marie is a successful lawyer who is engaged to a wealthy man, but she's starting to question whether her life is really what she wants. She feels trapped in her relationship and longs for something more fulfilling. Nia, on the other hand, is a free spirit who is trying to find her place in the world. She experiments with drugs and casual sex, but struggles to find meaningful connections with others. The show explores themes of race, sexuality, and gender identity. It is a refreshing take on the coming-of-age story, as it centers around three black women who are all trying to figure out their place in a society that often tries to put them in a box. The writing is sharp and witty, and the humor is often derived from the characters' interactions with each other and the world around them. One of the standout aspects of the show is its cast. Jojo T. Gibbs delivers a breakthrough performance as Hattie, capturing her character's vulnerability, humor, and determination with ease. Christina Elmore and Gabrielle Graham also shine as Marie and Nia, respectively. Elmore brings depth and nuance to her character's internal conflicts, while Graham injects Nia with a vibrant energy that is both infectious and heartbreaking. Another strength of the show is its visual style. Director and executive producer Justin Tipping imbues each episode with a vibrant, dreamlike quality that captures the vibrant energy of Los Angeles. The show is also notable for its use of music, which ranges from classic hip hop to contemporary R&B, and adds an extra layer of depth to the storytelling. Overall, Twenties is a fresh and compelling take on the coming-of-age story that tackles important themes with humor and heart. The show's characters are relatable and engaging, and the writing and directing are top-notch. It's a must-watch for anyone who enjoys smart, funny, and thought-provoking television.
