- DeWanda Wise, Cleo Anthony, Lyriq BentShe's Gotta Have It, based on Spike Lee's 1986 film of the same name, is a contemporary dramedy series that follows the life of Nola Darling (DeWanda Wise), an uncompromising, sexually liberated artist living in Brooklyn. The show inquires into themes of modern relationships, black identity, and feminism as Nola juggles her career and her three lovers: the cultured model Greer Childs (Cleo Anthony), the protective investment banker Jamie Overstreet (Tommy Redmond Hicks), and the playful sneakerhead Mars Blackmon (Anthony Ramos). While it didn't rack up major awards, the series was praised for its bold storytelling and visual style before concluding after two seasons.
