Ultimately, the series knows exactly what it wants to be: a sexy, fast-paced drama that sets out to de-stigmatize the world of stripping and shatter misconceptions. It succeeds. “P-Valley” is an engrossing ride into the Mississippi swamp, and like nothing audiences have ever seen on television. Welcome to the Dirty South.
P-Valley is the kind of series so variously accomplished you don't know what to praise first. ... The cast is uniformly excellent but the central trio of Evans, Annan and Johnson especially so, making the most of often luscious dialogue that veers between playfully obscene and heartbreakingly forlorn.

Hall is still doing something extraordinary here. Better yet, something original.
Through the first half of the 10-episode second season, on top of its various storytelling pleasures, P-Valley proves a more-than-capable vehicle through which to process a complicated moment in history.
It’s a vibe show more than a story show — the plot is a familiar stew made up of shady land deals, stolen identities, and extramarital affairs — but that vibe borders on hypnotic. The Pynk and the people who work there feel real, and desperate, and all kinds of complicated.
It is filled with powerfully good material, from the intensely lived-in performances to the internecine clashes that sometimes erupt into violence. Going in, though, you need to be prepared for a heightened, densely dramatic kind of atmosphere.
The series still wields the core elements that make it such an invigorating, subversive watch. But P-Valley is trying to do so much via splintered subplots, it’s missing the consistency and cohesion that drove the first season.
Brilliant. Complex. Erotic. Funny. Dramatic. Tragic. Can't wait for season 2, and seeing more of Hailey / Autumn.
And thanks to subtitles I could follow it all.

God this is heartbreaking. Quality tv that is nuanced,well performed and just so personal. Extremly human. I appreciate the platform it gives to exotic dancers and sex worker's, showing them as the humans deserving of respect they have ALWAYS BEEN. The show is fortunately tasteful with it's nudity and pace,sticking to realism for its thrills.

The “P” in the title is an abbreviated reference to **** and if that puts you off, this may not be the show for you. It revolves around the dancers who work in a sleazy, but highly successful club in the Mississippi Delta. Several of them are given stories outside work, which adds depth to the drama. Then there’s Uncle Clifford, the non-gender conforming, domineering boss with a beard and a wild variety of feminine outfits (played by Nicco Annan who created the role in the play on which this show was based). The dance numbers are more athletic than erotic, but they’re impressive and suggestive just the same. The language is continually raunchy (with liberal use of the N-word) and women’s bodies are constantly exposed (In case you have any issues with this concept, keep in mind that this is directed by an all-female team). Still, the writing (full of thick Southern accents) and characters (from sweet to sassy) prove deliciously compelling. (8 one-hour episodes with a 2nd season announced)

This show is absolutely hilarious. I realize P-Valley is not a comedy but I could not stop belly laughing through this show. The dialogue is full-tilt unintentionally stupid ridiculous, the acting is really really funny, and the accents are freaking ludicrous... in the funniest way.
Please *pretty please* keep this show coming because it's truly the most I've laughed at the television in a couple of months.
Ladies and gentlemen, the unintentionally funny award goes to P-Valley. Hats off the the editors, actors, writers and directors for shoveling this dreck onto Starz!
