Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show

Raw, Real, Heartbreaking, Brave, Unique, Different, Loving, Hopeful. I want to see more. I was happy to see tape of Jerrod and family from years ago. It seemed to show a lot of love between Jerrod and his Mom. It appears his Mom was naive when she was young and found the help she needed by giving her life to Christ and believing all that is in or at least, interpreted by some, as to what the Bible says. This seemed to help her deal with the difficulties in her marriage. Jerrod realized, at some point, he was not living his truth. When he told his truth, that really put a strain on the relationship between he and his Mom. I think the only thing that is coming between the love that his Mom, Cynthia has for Jerrod is, what SHE BELIEVES is the interpretation of the Bible regarding homosexuality.

With only one episode out I am already fascinated and exited for the journey this shown will explore. Recognizing the bias and issues with being a reality show while trying to show the audience his truth. Jerrod Carmichael is seeking something with this and I for one am glad to be along for what I can only assume will be a hilarious, uncomfortable, and one hope fulfilling sojourn in the world of reality television. Family issues that are all too familiar to black queer people are front and center. His friend taking a stark stance against the entire endeavor of Jerrod participating in this reality show. A soundtrack that is delightfully whimsical. And I did not even get to the Emmys thing. I am excited for what this program will be and is.

I like this guy's laid back humor but this show is really pulling back the curtain and probably not the way Jerrod anticipated. I think he is shown as a narcissist and displays jerk behavior towards his boyfriend and friends . I know he is on the rise but the diva attitude is not appealing. He sometimes comes off as downright mean. I hope he grows a bit through the experience and even watches himself in the episodes. I have watched the first few episodes and not sure I would recommend. I know comics have baggage and that's what makes them funny but I don't enjoy comics who don't seem to be tuned into others feelings when they're not performing.

This show is incredibly beautiful. I made an account just to review this because of how undeserving the bad reviews of this show are. You can tell they only watched one episode and/or they are missing the WHOLE $%^** POINT. If Jerrod has no fans, I'm dead.

I have such mixed feelings about this show. On the one hand, I really appreciate Jarrod's transparency and openness. It's refreshing to see a gay person share their life so unabashedly. On the other hand, I really do not like how he seems to keep making such bad decisions and then simply laughs them off. Coming out later in life is hard, but it doesn't give one permission to treat others like crap. I hope as the show goes on that his outlook matures a bit. It seems like he's trying, but whatever he's doing isn't working. I want to just reach through the TV and say "get yourself together!" He seems very stuck in his own head so far, and I just keep cringing!
