What's the Story?

QUEENS COURT is dating reality show hosted by actress Holly Robinson Peete and her husband, NFL player Rodney Peete, in which 21 men compete to be matched with three women, the show's "queens." Evelyn Lazado (Basketball Wives), Tamar Braxton (Braxton Family Values), and Nivea go on a series of individual and group dates, voting men off at the end of each episode in an attempt to find a love match.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say : Not yet rated
Kids say : Not yet rated

A reality dating show with a focus on three women seeking love that focuses on camaraderie instead of competition is a rare find. Although the romance and drama in Queens Court feels largely disingenuous, the connections among the women, who support and learn from one another, add depth to the show. There are also valuable discussions around recognizing "red flags" in relationships and potential partners. Overall, the star element of the show is not the romance but the "queens" themselves, who largely come across as confident, funny, and relatable.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

  • Families can talk about how the women relate to each other compared to women on other reality dating shows. Why do you think they chose to support each other instead of competing with each other?

  • The women repeatedly mention "red flags." What does that mean? Why is it important to be able to recognize red flags in relationships?

  • How do the women on the show advocate for themselves and their boundaries? How did they advocate for each other? What can be learned from their actions about consent and personal space?
