South Side

Based only on the first episode, this is a very funny new show from Comedy Central. The pace and editing means that the jokes come at you fast with basically no time to catch your breath. The first episode does a lot of leg work establishing the characters and the world and it does a great job doing so. For people who have watched Reno 911! and Workaholics, South Side will definitely feel familiar in a general sense, but also fresh and new because of how underrepresented Black creators are. There are times where you can feel how the actors are improvising and playing off each other, which is very reminiscent of the other shows I mentioned and it's something I personally love. I love comedies that feel just a bit unpolished.

This show is good. It's fast paced, the characters are great, the world is interesting and it's very funny. I'm definitely tuning in again.

And this show is still hilarious! Also hilarious is the 1 star review from the clueless conservative nutjob complaining about the liberal agenda. What a tool.

This is far and away the funniest newer comedy I've seen. One of the best ensembles As well; every character is funny. It's rare that a show catches me during the first episode but this is one of them. Great Chicago references sprinkled in as well.

Very funny show and Chandra Russell absolutely makes this show what it is. But it seems to be losing its way in season 2. I'm only on season 2 episode 5 so hopefully it gets back on track.

I dvr everything I want to watch if I can...(hate commercials and have a short attention span). I'm on the se ond of three episodes to air so far, and it's taken me about 2 hours to get through them because I keep pausing and rewinding the jokes. The show is a must watch, it is smart and real, I feel like I know the characters. It's a well-written, (with some hilarious improvisation), comedy about two semi-young men living while Black in South Side Chicago, their work lives and their shenanigans. It's really funny, so funny that it almost feels like an inside joke.
