this is elevated hood humor at its finest
742603, There was only one season on Comedy Central?

I have to watch just to see if they top the scene where the lady cop cussed out that old lady.
742606, Thanks for this post.

I started to watch season one early this year but stopped for some reason. Think I'll binge the first season this weekend.

I remember thinking that black male cop character was pretty interesting, but for whatever reasons, I didn't like the two main characters.

I'll push through as the premise of the show seems interesting.
742608, I'ma be that guy but, half of EP1 is right by my house!

All that stuff about the Omaha steaks is 2 blocks from the crib.
Loved it all.
742612, This and Detroiters are great

and two shows that Comedy Central should've treated better. I hope it gets more love now it's on HBO Max.
742613, I want both of these shows to be better than they are.

I think both started strong but both kind of fizzled a bit.

Both shows feel like they could use a showrunner who knows how to make season long storylines that you want to follow and keep up with week to week.

The Chi has a strong ensemble and can be hilarious, but I do think the leads are having a tough time carrying the show (though both pretty funny dudes). The CHi could be like a black Parks and Recs if they can find there bearings.

Don’t need to overthink it. I put the show on and I get 27 mins of everything from chuckles to the small inside type jokes to all out belly laughs.

..1st season was hilarious.

Can't wait to see what they're capable of with HBO.


*skatin' the rings of saturn*


..and miles to go before i sleep...
742762, This show is a gem. Something Special.

They really did pull of a black live action simpsons. Like it has soo many hilarious characters and inside jokes. The ambition of trying to juggle so many characters is amazing.

I kinda wish going to HBO meant they would get more money for the show to up its production value but I think I am over that as an issue. I just hope they get some more seasons.

742764, People need to watch this show

Season 2 was amazing, just so many gems. Day in the Life of an Ottoman was poignant and the Party Promoter ep had so many gems.

if people love this show, then they should go watch Sherman's Showcase on IFC.
