"Y'all checking for Issa Rae's Insecure and Donald Glover's Atlanta?"


  

          

Two of my favorite Networks (HBO & FX) are putting out Black Comedies by two, well I can't of an easier way to describe them, Black Nerds.

Teaser from Atlanta

http://qz.com/656341/fx-aired-the-coolest-tv-promo-of-the-year-during-the-people-v-o-j-simpson-finale/

Trailer for Insecure

http://deadline.com/2016/06/insecure-trailer-hbo-1201778410/


Once I get over my bitterness for pursuing my own writing career, I am very happy to see these voices get a chance.

This victory is yours OKP. The Key & Peele revolution is in full swing!?!?!?

Seriously though. Yall checking for these shows?

I hate to pit black on black but which of the two shows you got your money on?

I am sure they were able to pull together a hella talented writers room and cast. I wouldn't be surprised if she is the weakest part of the cast.

non-existent.
Donald Glover is an admitted coon tho
(silver spoon coon, ho!). I'd love to
think that line was tongue-in-cheek, but
I still remember that "I would die for my
hood, Trayyyvonnnn" line he did a few days
after Trayvon was killed, so I don't expect
much from anything he's involved with.
Issa always seemed like a cool woman,
but I don't actually know much about
her, honestly. It's clear that her show is
directly addressing issues of Blackness and
womanhood. That could be great and it
cound be terrible. We'll see.

Black kids cracking jokes AND going through all types of joy, pain, learning, etc.. thats hard to beat.


Atlanta looks like the black nerd show but i expect good things.

TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*

And I still have Glover at a high level because of Community...but dude's comedy didn't land with me...that Armenian girl joke was telling.

ABG was pretty good, and I'm pulling for Issa Rae because she's clearly a hard worker.

An ATL comedy with a predominantly black cast? Go ahead Donald.

First two eps of Atlanta were excellent. Layered and very entertaining.
