In response to Reply # 3


  

          

the one white detective who looks like the lost baldwin bother..

the female professor - fine as all get out but soap level actress at best.

Don't Be A Menace ruined Larenz Tate's brother for me forever. he's impossible to take seriously

at the top of that list is the new kingpin dude/Cane's daddy.. he's something out of a music video..

Tariq's always been pretty bad. There are others who are doing a good job.

all that said, i still love it. last episode was nuts

Just binged this. Probably my favorite series of the year. William Jackson Harper and Jessica Williams had wonderful chemistry. Comedian CP and Punkee Johnson stole almost every scene. Damn good writing.

It was thoroughly enjoyable, but I found the music extremely distracting. I kinda hate modern music used in old time films, and this was no exception. (I also hate dyed beards, and Idris' and Deon's beards pissed me off.)

27. "I Though The Regular "Wonder Years" Was Boring"
In response to Reply # 12


  

          

The urban revamp version is just as boring as the original, never understood what hollywood liked about the late 60's to late 70's era of America, every few years another show comes out glorifying this era with the so-called wholesome family in suburban neighborhood through the kid or young adult p.o.v. & shit.

I don't like the "Goldbergs", I thought the first two seasons of "Fresh Off The Boat" after that it got terrible, I hated "That 70's Show", "Astronaut Wives Club, "The Kids Are Alright", "American Dreams", etc. & so on, didn't like those at all.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

I think I've shut the show off three or four times while attempting to binge it out of complete disgust. I highly doubt I'll be able to completely finish it to be honest. I watched 6 out of the 10 episodes if memory serves me correct.

Before that, I binged both seasons of South Side from HBO Max. The first season was better than the second IMO, but I like how creative the storylines and characters are. The conservative leaning black cop character is by far my favorite character.

that shit was terible.

And I agree that the first season of South Side was better than the second. They didn't do a whole lot with Simon and Q this season. Officers Turner and Goodnight were hilarious as per usual, but even Goodnight didn't really have much to do.
Really hope they get renewed for seasons 3-4-5.

2 episodes into Grand Crew and I'm already losing interest, its like their trying to do white humor with a black cast and I don't think that will appeal to either demographic

I felt like Grand Crew improved as the season went on but they didn’t get a second season.

32. "Part of me wants to believe"
In response to Reply # 28


  

          

that show is written by women for women and that's part of the reason it doesn't click with me.

Another part of me thinks that's a pretty sexist stance because some of the outlandish stuff on the show that disgusts me shouldn't be tolerable by any gender.

34. "From memory's sake, mainly the over the top sexual situations."
In response to Reply # 33


  

          

Seemed like the show wanted to exaggerate certain situations just for attention's sake or to get cheap laughs. I felt bad for some of actresses while watching the show because they deserved better material. For the most part, they didn't take me out of the show while watching it due to subpar acting; the subpar writing did.

In response to Reply # 34


          

and its a mixed bag of executive producers

I think its possible for women to also write and produce bad material but I watched all 10 episodes and just thought it was a sub par show

It doesn't seem too over the top and looks as if it'll be a positive show that I hope doesn't become too preachy.

Also pretty wild to see that Zach Fox will actual be a character on this show.

just puts me so far outside of the demographic that the show likely caters to has a lot to do with it.

the acting was ok.....but some of the scenarios that were cooking just seemed so silly and immature...

51. "Grand Crew....a couple of thoughts"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

My first thought was that it was written by white people. It seems that it was not. It seems in an effort to make a show that shows "different" type of black people, they made a show that doesn't resemble black people at all to me.

Secondly, and a more sensitive matter, is it me or do all these guy character read as gay? BTW, that would have been a more interesting and different show.

Look I am 45, not the target demo, so maybe this is what 30 year olds identify with so correct me if I am wrong.

I tried twice but I think the delivery is a bit too unrealistic.

If I closed my eyes I don’t hear a Black show.

Not sure how to describe it but I said it feels like a show made by people who don’t season their food.

And he ‘refuses to comment on his sexuality.’ So maybe him. I get nothing from the other dudes, though. They’re just not hypermasculine.

I feel like they’re tryna catch the Brooklyn 99 tone but don’t really have the actors to pull it off. Half of them feel like they’re drowning in the dialogue. Only Carl Tart and Justin Cunningham seem comfortable.

and the only person who annoys me to where I hate when he's on the screen is Carl Tart. I love Nicole Byer. I like her character's and Noah's brother/sister relationship. Overall, I don't hate it...it's just an ok show. I agree with you on the BKN 99 feel, too.

it's pretty ridiculous and soap opera af with the everyone betraying everyone constantly, but damn if it ain't a blast of a show

I also crack up how every young girl on the show cant resist Tariq and just throw it at him.

50 cent coming back like Obi Wan to give Tariq advice..

i'm a week behind but I'm loving every minute. looking forward to the Tommy show too. bad acting and all.

i was whatever on last season but i've enjoyed this season so much. I guess it's a matter of knowing what i'm getting from it

it's impossible to keep up with every thread of betrayal until you realize everyone is literally doing something behind everyone's back, if not outright betraying them.

and for some weird reason, none of them feel they can function without Tariq St Patrick

The down-and-out politician gets back on his feet and very quickly gets a job, not only at the same school as the hot teacher who is banging the basketball star and co-worker who got murdered by her student, Ghost’s son- he's teaching the class WITH her.

I love the gangsta white friend, just a ridiculous character, but probably my favorite.

I've been on a Powers kick recently and just got done with the Tommy one, which is also super ridiculous.

68. "Black Tuesday lineup: Abbott Elementary, Grand Cru"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

(also American Auto - not a Black show, per se, but 3 of the ensemble are Black, and Black-ish).

Abbott Elementary and Grand Cru are both very dope to me, and deliver some very unexpected laughs. both go from real to absurd very quickly.

me and wife get a glass of wine to watch Black Tuesday.

peace & blessings,

Not sure I need to see myself IN these shows..

but I think I can see myself witnessing things seen on these shows and relating in some way.

Grand Cru tho.. that shit reminds me of all the worst/corniest people on OKP. j/k

I don’t know any white people like the white people on sitcoms and I know plenty of white people.

I don’t know any Black people like any Black characters on Black sitcoms.

Sitcom characters are painted with broad brush strokes for comedic purposes.

I expected the show to be kinda weird, judging from the comments in here... but it's.... just a comedy show, being a comedy show. And it happens to star Black ppl. I genuinely didn't see the problem. It wasn't disrespecting us from what I saw. I actually kind of appreciated its direction.

its a fictional show. and its absurd. why shouldn't black actors play roles that don't exactly follow what we normally see in regards to Black life? why can't Black characters be written beyond what we think we know?

90. "I watched the first episode the other night"
In response to Reply # 86


  

          

And I was actually very surprised by how good it is!
Everything I saw in the the promo down to the images used on Peacock told me that I was going to hate this shit. I put it on completely expecting to turn it off after like 20 minutes... but that shit is actually quite good. Will clearly pumped a lot of money into this show, and that's, imo, a part of what makes it good. So often they try to make shows on a shoestring budget and they turn out really bad. That's not to say this one isn't without it's problems. That was a whoooole lot to pack into a single episode that basically takes place over like 48 hours. It's super dramatic at every turn, Will's romance is super rushed, and they need to explain how this lawyer appears to be a goddamn billionaire. But they are true to the original in a lot of ways, while modernizing it in a lot of really good ways. It feels like it was written by Black folks. The kids, talk like kids talk; the updates to Jazz and Geoffrey are well done. I'ma keep watching.

They didn’t explain it the first time around… lol.

I’m actually looking for ways to watch this or will binge it once the season ends.

A friend from VCU works in the industry and received a swag bag with the tan Jordans he has on in the promo and a hand painted basketball.

and they gave VCU a shout out in the first ep!! I’m sure dude asked them to use our school when it came to the scholarship.

But in the OG series the family was rich obviously, but in this one, they're on a whole 'nother level. Like that level of wealth doesn't make sense.

In response to Reply # 118


          

who took a bullet for you and then sees you living your best life while he has to go back to West Philly.

Whats crazy is Will would go back to W. Philly and then go to college and leave him behind.

Just the reality of growing up and putting your interest first.

The Ashley shit seems forced but expected in 2021 television.

and Carlton.. man, we all ended up liking or appreciating Carlton in the first show but I don’t see how this nigga can win us over. He will have to take a bullet for Will or get beat to a
pulp by the KKK to get some sympathy.

This looks promising. It's making me want to rewatch Boardwalk Empire before this starts.

Free on Prime until the end of the month. The episodes are short. I have been watching since the beginning of the month but slowly because I thought there was only one season. There are actually 3 seasons. I will binge the rest this weekend.

Pretty brave concept for a TV show, especially since TV shows don't normally showcase the elderly, muchless someone suffering through dementia.

Very open minded of Apple TV to show a black show that had the lead character being an old man with dementia. The subject matter, the majority black cast, and the fact the show is only for one season is pretty open minded for a major network.

I almost feel bad that I didn't pay to watch it.

weaving COVID and all the police shootings in real life into this show has got this show stale as fuck and not fun anymore.

i see fans on twitter complaining about them ODing on the gay storylines this season but that aint even in my top 10 of things that have driven this show off a cliff

more of the strip club stuff and the rap tour, more titties and ass, more backwoods soap opera drama please. this shit they are doing now isnt even the same show anymore.

In response to Reply # 153


          

Is it wild that my immediate thought was “this reporter prolly trans” just cause the way the season has played out and the absence of his old flame?

anyway.

Traci is ridiculous on this show. Yes, I’m talking her body. She fine as a muuuuhfukka.

exactly, he has the whole fake girlfriend then old girl on the side and you know it will eventually come out. You heard Poppa's dad ask him "if the rumors were true"

>anyway.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          



recently:

Kim's Convenience - discovered that by accident on Netflix. watched all 5 seasons. really nice sitcom. simu leiu was on that before he blew up w/ shang chi

lupin - all (however many) seasons, i think 2, on netflix. french series (crime / heist joint) featuring omar sy. first series we ever watched about Black french people. fux w/ it.

Man Like Mobeen - bri'ish telly sitcom. came up on that early this summer and binged through it. that was interesting. funny series about a pakistani ex thug in the hood in england trying to stay on the straight and narrow and raise his little sister.

Only Murders In the Building (hulu) - 2nd season now. still on. this has replaced our get a glass of wine and chill show (was Grand Cru + Abbott Elementary before their seasons ).

the witcher - netflix

the Orville (hulu) - 3rd season. this show is really good. star trek, but more irreverent, but they be hitting on some serious shit. and the production values are really dope for a kind of star trek comedy.

the expanse - (season 6 was over last year. been finished that. but it's really one of the best modern sf series ever. great writing, production values, acting, and it's very smart. described as GoT in space, but long before George RR Martin ran out of gas and the series went to shit). it's on amazon prime. every season is dope.

peace & blessings,

The IG of it all is kinda annoying because I don’t normally watch when people go live. I find I enjoy it more the few times the IG part fades away and it feels like a normal show.

not sure i even liked it.... i felt like i forced myself to watch the last 2 seasons.... i also absolutely hated the character named Nova... her life choices barely made sense to me and i just find her pretty annoying in general...

i respect the fact that every episode was directed by a blackwoman... perhaps i wasnt the target audience although i did enjoy the first few seasons...

wrote it. ALL of this is what I feel. I am forcing myself through this last season. It just became available on Hulu.

I already replied regarding how I feel about Nova ... ugh! She is an awful character, and I am still fast forwarding her scenes. Thank goodness for the ability to fast forward.

pretty good and different so far, and I like the random cameos by "big time" celebrities like Jon Hamm, I was already a fan but now I'm even more of a fan seeing him in something like this.

I guess the original season was in 2018 and they're just putting out S2 episodes now

I haven’t watched it yet. But Octavia butler is one of my favorite authors so I plan to watch it and I hope I like the way they bring it to the screen. I have read the book.

shot 🙄

I loved the book Passing, but hated the movie adaptation. I really hope that I don’t end up hating this too 😕

Our black authors and their stories deserve better. That is why sometimes I want more Toni Morrison adaptations other that Beloved, but at the same time I don’t.

213. "Are you bothered by the departures from the book. (Spoilers)"
In response to Reply # 195


  

          

I just finished the book because its been on my list forever and I knew if I watched the show I would never read it.

There was something that bothered both me and my wife about the book in particular. That is, how could she be so in love with her white husband when she experienced slavery?

It kind of feels like the series will be addressing it by, not giving her a husband and making Kevin just some guy she just met. I just think he isn't going to be around to the end in the series like he was in book. IDK, just guessing.

I've seen just one ep but wondering if I want to see the rest, the book kept me mad at white people for a minute.

I love Butler and so I've read the book, but it alone was tough to get through, and I honestly have no desire to experience this story in a more visceral form.

In response to Reply # 193


          

Had some good laughs, so far. The folks are so beautiful. I love how they've all aged and grown, even as a fictional crew, but real people. Reminds me so much of my inner circle of guys and ladies that I've know since high school/college. Oh and Sanaa Lathan...sheesh!!!

so many LOL moments and the crew were all really good. Shelbe stole the show for wife and I. She killed every scene she was in and that's coming from a Regina Hall Stan. Really enjoyable watch.

In response to Reply # 193


          

then went back and watch the OG Best Man and Best Man Holiday.

I feel like those of us that have been around for a minute have literally grown up with these characters and actors in these films as well as others.

Seeing them deal with a lot of situations we are was cool.

All the women looked great especially Nia Long!

"I'm not the target audience" lol

My general rule of thumb is if I can be entertained without having to overlook too many things then I can rock with it. There was way too much for me to overlook here, storyline wise. Me and my girl seem to be in the minority tho, which is fine

It's weird and quirky but yet somehow still reads authentic.

IDK how they pull that shit off. You up on the new season?
