Stevie J & Joseline Go Hollywood
Parent and Kid Reviews
What's the Story?
STEVIE J & JOSELINE GO HOLLYWOOD is a reality series following Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta's Stevie J and Joseline Hernández as they try to take Los Angeles by storm. After a stint in rehab, Stevie J is ready to get his career back on track, and he heads to the west coast with his five children to pursue new projects, including a film opportunity. Meanwhile, Joseline, who is now separated from the hip-hop artist, goes to Hollywood on her own to focus on her own projects, while also working on the same film. As they both attempt to restart their careers, there's a lot of drama as they try to do business together.
Is It Any Good?
This series offers some pretty lukewarm, voyeuristic entertainment by playing up a dysfunctional relationship between the separated couple. As a result, there's a lot of orchestrated over-the-top behavior that ranges from pushing and shoving to overt sexual flirtations.
Fans of the duo may be interested in tuning in, while others may find the challenges of pulling a film project together interesting. But the overall series doesn't offer anything particularly positive.
