Dad Stop Embarrassing Me

Full disclosure: I only watched the first episode and for that alone I feel like I deserve an award.

It was the saddest, unfunny 25 minutes of my life and I've seen Pootie Tang. This would not have made it to pilot in the 90's let alone 2021. I get it - if Jamie Foxx did this purely to give his daughter's career a push then fine. But why did it have to be a humorless bore?

Hopefully, Corrine Foxx learnt a few things here as writer/executive producer and I wish her nothing but success.

However, I don't know which hurt more - the disappointment of an unfunny Jamie Foxx sitcom or the fact I missed an opportunity for a power nap.

I don't know if Netflix needed to fill slots or just wanted Jamie Foxx to be happy. Don't get me wrong.. I love Jamie Foxx and all his work, but this just wasn't it. It's something to put on to fall asleep to or just have some noise in the background while on zoom. Love the casting but it just falls flatter than most reboots.

This is one of the worst shows I've ever seen. I didn't even smile, let alone laugh. Netflix has a lot of money. They throw cash around wherever they feel like wasting it. I have no idea how this show got greenlit. I could only stomach 1 episode. Don't waste your time, people.

Dear, oh dear, oh dear...Formulaic, telegraphed 'jokes'. Stereo types a plenty. Breaking the 4th wall just to explain the jokes to us 'normal' people.

You might hope it gets better once the characters are bedded in, it doesn't.

Jamie Foxx wants to be portrayed as an irresistible stud, but fails. End of.

This is terrible? I've watched most of Netflix's sitcoms, While not all of them have worked for me, this is probably the worst of the lot, I enjoyed the Big Show Show better than this.
