Story: The miniseries follows the rise and fall of the ’80s boy band (featuring Bobby Brown, Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, DeVoe, Johnny Gill and Ralph Tresvant) that paved the way for other groups like Boyz II Men, NSYNC, The Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block. The group reached enormous heights in the ’80s and ’90s, but struggled to share the limelight, causing tension and deep rifts between its individual members. Source: ETonline. Photo Source: BET.
