Two women leading lives at opposite ends of the spectrum cross paths. Kimmie is a girl fighting a hard battle for survival, after her mother kicked her out of the house and then a merciless guardian forced her into prostitution; Mallory, on the other hand, is a successful entrepreneur at the head of a major cosmetics company.

This is the plot of Beauty in Black, a 2024 TV series written, directed and produced by Tyler Perry for Netflix.

The Greenleaf family runs a large African-American Protestant church in Memphis.

In Greenleaf, the 2016 TV series, power struggles, family feuds and twists abound. Five seasons and 60 episodes, available on Netflix.
Dynasty
The wealthy and powerful Carrington and Colby families are forever at odds to come out on top in social and financial realms. The members of these families, particularly the women, have no scruples or mercy: they are willing to do anything to reach the peak of success and to bring down their longtime rivals. Secrets, betrayals, blackmail and crimes are certainly not lacking in Dynasty, the 2017 TV series, as well as a modern reinterpretation of the famous ’80s soap. Five seasons and 108 episodes that you can watch on Netflix.
Revenge
Amanda Clarke adopts the false identity of Emily Thorne with the sole aim of infiltrating the exclusive Hamptons enclave, where she grew up, and acting undetected.

Emily will begin destroying one life after another of all those who ruined her parent’s life. The heart of Revenge, the 2011 TV series, is precisely the vengeance of a woman who in the past endured abuses, and who is still trying to overcome — in her own way — that trauma. Four seasons and 89 episodes, available on Disney+.
