What To Watch: ‘Harlem’ From Amazon Studios

On the heels of “The Sex and the City” “And Just Like That” comes “Harlem,” the Black Girl’s Guide to Sex and the City. Harlem tells the story of four single strong Black women living their lives in Harlem.

Camille is a popular young anthropology professor at Columbia who has an extensive knowledge of the dating norms of many cultures, but has a hard time navigating her own love life; Tye is a successful, queer dating-app creator who prefers keeping vulnerability—and romantic partners—at arm’s length; Quinn is a hopeless romantic and trust-fund fashion designer who is trying to give back to the world while running a struggling business; Angie is a confident, vibrant, and filter-free singer and actress who also lives rent-free and fabulously with Quinn. Together, they level up from their 20s into the next phase of their careers, relationships, and big city dreams.

In the pilot, Camille is trying to reconcile her feelings about seeing her ex again after breaking up with him a few years ago. While Quinn is so desperate for love that she meets her date at a club on Long Island. Angie is looking for a job as a singer but not really as she sleeps on Camille’s couch. Tye’s business is taking off and she will soon be featured in Forbes. Future episodes have Angie starring in “Get Out: The Musical.”

Executive produced by Tracy Oliver, Amy Poehler, Kim Lessing, Dave Becky, Pharrell Williams and Mimi Valdés and starring Grace Byers as Quinn, Meagan Good as Camille, Jerrie Johnson as Tye, and Shoniqua Shandai as Angie.

The series is now streaming on Amazon Prime.
