Sherman's Showcase

I watched and then rewatched episodes 1 and 2, both crazy, jokes I missed the first time I got on the second viewing, "Drop it Low for Jesus" and "Time Loop" are hilarious but with sick beats.

First of all, I hope they put together a soundtrack. Really liked the songs. Loved Charade and the Temptations 11 sketches. Mary J was on point as well. John Legend and Common were a good laugh as well as the Brother you wrong segment. Good fun that I feel like was made for me.

Don't know why so many people hate this show. It's a straight-forward satire of Soul Train and a good one at that. It's silly and can be a little out there at times but just sit back and have fun with it. What makes this show even better is the music. I think the music is technically also satire but it's actually pretty good. The bands performances are usually over-the-top campy (on purpose) but the music is pretty solid. I would actually listen to this stuff if I could find it. Just give this show a try and try to ignore the bad reviews.

I think it's a great satire about "Soul Train", which I thought was hilarious in its hey-day . . .

This show is literally underrated. The ideas are so clever and relatable! The content was created with a specific cultural context in mind, which may be the reason for some of the mediocre reviews. I can't wait for season 2!
