She's Gotta Have It is a Netflix series that premiered in 2017 and wrapped up after two seasons in 2019. Directed by Spike Lee, it's a contemporary update of his 1986 film of the same name. The show follows main character Nola Darling, a young, sex-positive artist living in Brooklyn. Nola, played by DeWanda Wise, is juggling her art, friendships, and a rotating cast of love interests.
The show is broken up into ten episodes per season, and each episode is named after the person Nola is currently dating (or interested in). The show deals with themes like polyamory, modern relationships, gentrification, and Black female identity. It's shot mostly in black and white, with occasional bursts of color to highlight important moments.
Nola is a complex character who initially comes across as confident and self-assured, but as the show progresses, we see her grappling with doubts and insecurities. She's unapologetic about her sexuality, but also vulnerable and emotionally honest. The men in her life each represent different aspects of her personality and desires, and the show explores how she navigates these different relationships while trying to stay true to herself.
Nola's three love interests are Jamie, Mars, and Greer. Jamie Overstreet, played by Lyriq Bent, is a successful businessman who remains married to his wife while pursuing an affair with Nola. He's the oldest of the three men, and acts as a mentor of sorts to Nola. Mars Blackmon, played by Anthony Ramos, is a younger man who works at a caf
