Without seeing any myself, I'd bet vulture and various review sites said it's messy, all over the place and didn't know which story it wants to tell.
I liked it. Entirely binge-able. At least one of the episodes is only 20 minutes.
Lamorne is good. New Girl wrote Winston as a loser for a while, but it's like he acted through that to get to a decent character, so to see him here with a fully formed character rose him in my ranks of Black leads.
His roommates were great.
By the 5th-ish ep, the talking objects were sidelined and I appreciated it until they came back. JB Smoove did a HORRIBLE job opening for EW&F and he SUUUUUUCKED, so I would have preferred a different voice there.
Also, watching the Harley Quinn cartoon made me think of Dr Psycho every time Tony Hale spoke.
Pleased to see Sasheer Zameda not going the way of Denitra Vance.
