‘P-Valley’ Spinoff Docuseries ‘Down in the Valley’ Is a Glimpse Into the Unseen Deep South: TV Review


In "Down in the Valley," Nicco Annan of "P-Valley" fame guides the audiences through the people and places that make up the real-life Bible Belt.

Starz’s new docuseries “ Down in the Valley ” highlights the people, businesses, experiences and traditions that make Black neighborhoods in places like Memphis, Dallas, Baton Rouge and Charleston, Mississippi, so distinctive and culturally rich. Though Annan speaks with several women, including newcomer Cherry, a single mother hoping to earn a spot on the club’s roster, and Georgia Peach, an OG with no problem putting the greener dancers in their place, this opener is the weakest of the series. In Episode 2, “Saints and Sinners,” the audience is introduced to ShaRonda Parker, aka The Nasty Lady, a sex educator who, at the time of filming, owned Private Partz and Gifts, the sole brick-and-mortar erotic boutique in Baton Rouge.
