So West Indian American

I loved this so much. I cannot believe how well the family dynamics fell in line with many of a West Indian households. Actors were great on timing, dryness, and humor. A real gem for those you get it or are open.

Absolutely Hilarious

I actually laughed out loud and even cried laughing, especially during the funeral fight between Janet and her husband. This is my type of comedy, it was dark it was dry but it was actually funny. I'd characterize this more as a dramady but nonetheless I'm happy I watched. I must admit I rewatched the funeral fight scene multiple times. The entire cast did an amazing job and as a fellow Caribbean I'm happy they didn't bother with the poorly done Caribbean accents. Gloria Reuben did an Amazon job as a Jamaican grandma living in New York!

Loved so much about this show

Loved the characters, loved the amazing soundtrack, loved the humorous undertones, and the film work.. no shaky camera tricks, no yelling.. the scenes were wonderfully true, especially the wake! ..and loved the music legacy angle, hopefully foreshadowing with more to come

An Admirable Attempt

What I appreciate most about this movie is that they wrote black characters with complexity instead of stereotypical traits and a story of stereotypical themes. Unfortunately, the attempts at dark humor were off by a country mile. We have all seen this movie before . Like, 'This is Where I leave You" and just about every movie Woody Allen has ever made. Now I get the importance of comedic timing, because just about every actor in this movie completely lacks it. The main character comes off as whinny and the story just missed the mark overall. I do appreciate the attempt, because we need more movies like this with people of color.
