South Side

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.

I watched the first season and was amused. There were some very funny moments, definitely enough for me to be interested in a second season. At about the episode 4 mark in season 2 (the Ferris bueller one), I was HOOKED. I'm howling with laughter, rewinding scenes to catch all the jokes, and loving every minute. I'm not sure why people say the show is not woke- it's humor and comedy without punching down. The humor comes from the situations and personalities, not at the expense of marginalized people. There is not a huge amount of politicizing issues, but that's on brand for the characters and their lives. I absolutely love this show and will continue watching it! 8/10 because the first season was a little hit or miss for me.

I live on the South Side, and I like everything about this show. I think it is very Chi -- the most Chi-town show on t.v. The locations are familiar. The characters are authentic. The perspectives of the characters are very real. In the episode about the popcorn game, which is truly so serious in Chicago, they even set the chase scenes to House music. The humor is very silly, which does not suit some people's taste, but the whole show is just too fresh to be corny. I love it, wish it came on every night.

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.
