A Black Lady Sketch Show

I find this show VERY funny! Hilariously witty. If you're a young black woman/man you are sure to die of laughter. As a 23 year old black woman, I can relate to a lot of the satirical remarks. I feel like this show was made for me and my girls! Big fan of the show!! I'm really offended by those who are grouping this show with the Chapelle show. The concept is completely different. Robin does a wonderful job of highlighting key black women in both mainstream and underground media in a way that they are rarely seen. i.e. Nicole Byer in the same episode as Angela Bassett (who would've thought?) Keep doing your thing Robin!! I hope this show stays on HBO for a while.

Old white man here, and I can't get enough of this. First-rate writing and acting in a unique format that is consistently very funny in its own right but in my opinion rises above *because* every sketch features, well, Black Ladies. They are hilarious and their sketches' topics and delivery are like nothing else I've seen. And I really appreciate that. I hope Robin Thede and company continue to write and perform and grow in this vein.

As a Black lady, I'm extremely glad this show exists because, from the performers to the writers to the crew, there's so much talent. But to be honest with y'all... the writing is still weak. I am excited for the rest of season 2 and I'll keep watching because the cast is so strong, but the writing for sure needs work.

Some sketches are straight-up confusing (for the baby shower one in season 2, it took me forever to understand who was related to who), the subplot about the apocalypse is so drawn-out that it's hard to care about, the pacing of some sketches fizzle out almost immediately, and some sketches rely SO heavily on tired stereotypes that I forget we're in 2021.

I do love the general premise of most of the sketches though, and Robin is such a comedic force. There is so much potential in this show, and I think the show could benefit from taking a wittier, more subtle approach instead of being so heavy-handed.

Whether a sketch is good or great, these ladies are always a lot of fun. I'm in love with the Boppers sketch. Please find a way to bring them back. There's always one sketch per episode I flat-out adore and the rest are fun. Bring back the Boppers!!

Like any sketch show, you may not be entertained by all the skits. I find it smart and witty. My kind of humor. Kudos.
