Tyler Perry's The Oval arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Tyler Perry's The Oval has the visual identity that makes it immediately recognisable, and the writing to back it up. A seemingly perfect interracial first family becomes the White House's newest residents. But behind closed doors they unleash a torrent of lies, cheating and corruption. Every line from Ed Quinn and Kron Moore lands with more craft than you'd expect. 7 seasons (2019–2026) gave the story room most shows never get. The animation style is distinctive enough to be immediately recognisable, but it is the writing underneath that keeps viewers coming back for more. The hit rate here is high enough that skipping ahead never feels like an option.

If you have been sleeping on Tyler Perry's The Oval because of the format, the format is not the issue here. The tonal similarities to Parenthood are real, though Tyler Perry's The Oval carves out its own identity quickly. 7 seasons in, there is no shortage of material once you get started. Ed Quinn brings more to the role than the format usually demands. A harder one to justify skipping than to start.
