Nope, I haven't seen it at all.
I'm curious, but I have a feeling I'll be disappointed.

Whether the character(s) is effeminate or hyper-thug, or dow-low, is again, insignificant: it’s all in the writing [and directing] that makes a show good by the observers’ point of view. I’ve watched the first season of ‘Noah’s Ark’ and well………….I was put off by the one-dimensional acting. I wasn’t moved on an emotional level. Again, this is the creator’s [of the show] ideas and expression of ‘his’ black gay community. Actor’s are encourage to bring a script to life. If the writing isn’t good then you can’t expect a good performance by the actors.

Has anyone seen the HBO show “True Blood?” In the first season of this awesome show, there is a gay black character that goes by the name ‘Lafayette.’ I like this actor and how he weaves and combines both the effeminate and the hyper thug brother (with a sense of his African roots) into this character. This dude takes no shit, and I love how he gives his character many dimensions. But then again, Alan Ball (Six Feet Under, American Beauty) is behind this production, and you know you are going to get something new and different (out of the box) from this show, accompanied by a strong writing crew and directors.

Again, behind any great show or film, the one thing you will always hear the ‘Actors’ say is that “we have some really great writers and directors.”

Being a writer and director that ‘thinks out of the box,’ if I were given a project like Noah’s Ark, I would really turn that show around and make the characters more complex and likeable and delve deeper within their souls and bring that to the surface as to what they really covet, with a strong need to be loved, respected and accepted as their core goal to be reached. Because, that's what we all seek outside ourself.

Noah’s Ark has a lot of potential and I hope that potential will be tapped into.
