The show focuses on the personal and business lives of Marty Kaan (Don Cheadle), a manipulative, immoral, driven and cold management consultant.

The movie still holds up, if you overlook the frequent cigarette smoking and the (regretfully) passé notion of meeting a significant other in person as opposed to a dating app. Childs said he was used to seeing mainstream (read: predominantly white) films frequently turned into Broadway shows, but theatrical adaptations are virtually unprecedented for black films.

When it comes to black theater, Perry — and the gospel stage genre he helped expand — is usually what comes to mind. “I just know that it holds a place that’s pretty dear in a lot of African American women’s hearts,” Childs said.

In addition to the questionable business practices of Marty and his team, the series also focuses on Marty's personal life.

He deals with his disagreeable management consultant ex-wife Monica (Dawn Olivieri), his retired-psychiatrist father Jeremiah (Glynn Turman) and his confidently flamboyant son Roscoe (Donis Leonard, Jr).

The show, which premiered on Showtime on January 8, 2012, is based on the book House of Lies: How Management Consultants Steal Your Watch and Then Tell You the Time, written by Martin Kihn, a former consultant at Booz Allen Hamilton.

It follows a group of management consultants who stop at nothing to get business deals done.

In this classic flick, Darius (Larenz Tate) and Nina (Nia Long) meet at a poetry lounge in their hometown of Chicago and forge a love affair that is passionate, but experiences many twists and turns.

This is far from a storybook romance, which is what we love most about it.

The plot thickens once these total opposites try to claim the heart of same woman using very different game.

You may think you’d know who to choose if you were Nina, but are you really sure?
