"Flavor" magazine editor Khadijah (Queen Latifah) is already sharing her Brooklyn brownstone with her cousin Synclaire (Kim Coles) and her best friend Regine (Kim Fields Freeman) as Living Single launches its first season. Hanging around the ladies' residence are Khadijah's sharp-tongued lawyer friend Maxine, aka "Max" (Erika Alexander); Max's favorite "bete noire", stockbroker Kyle (T.C. Carson); Synclaire's sweetie, maintenance man Overton (John Henton). Halfway through the season, Khadijah's ex-boyfriend Terrence (Cress Williams)), aka "Scooter", comes back into her life, but she balks at making a firm commitment. Our heroine also has another suitor named Alonzo (Adam Lazarre-White), who refuses to take "no" for an answer. Elsewhere, gold-digging Regine foments trouble among her friends by way of ill chosen beaux, notably Tony (Mark Curry), a comedian who uses the roommates' innermost secrets as fodder for his nightclub act. As for Max, she loses her job at the law firm in the season's final episode, whereupon she goes out on a drunken toot--and wakes up stark naked, lying next to her old nemesis Kyle! Could this be the beginning of a bee-yoo-ti-ful friendship? ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
