Random Acts of Flyness

So I was recommended to me to watch this so I did. Now initially watching it I was like what the hell am I watching? after a few sketches I realized I was watching a documentary-style sketch comedy show with a satirical twist. Every episode takes that particular approach to cover some touchy topics from Black face, toxic masculinity, trans living, rape culture, body dysmorphia to good hair in the black community. The show also give clips revealing a black history that most wouldn't learn in school. The show displays strong cultural and political significance to the black society with a unique yet gripping approach. The narrative kept me intrigued enough to binge watch the entire season. The overall vibe gave me adult swim, chappelle show with some controversial but needed plots. I can see why it's on HBO at midnight but I'm glad I was recommended it.

This is one of the best shows on television. Rather than laying blame, it shows where people of color are & where we have been. It's a very creative dose of reality. It's one of those shows made for us by us. If you are a part of the "mainstream" of society or not, it gives you the choice to buy into what you're watching or not. 10/10 - I look Forward to Season 2.

There's nothing like this currently on T.V. Terrance Nance and his creative team are really pushing the boundaries of television far with this output. It's also incredible seeing black issues take its rightful place in the vast space of entertainment.

And the folks talking about white guilt and reverse racism... take that somewhere else. Terrance Nance and black thought is here to stay!

Anyone who has a problem with the content of this show is "the problem". This show should be encouraging discussion about race relations in America and the experience of Black America. If you said you feel like you're being "guilted" while watching this, you're telling us a lot about yourself.

I cannot imagine how this show wouldn't win a lot of big awards. If it doesn't, something is wrong. This is practically the only show I look forward to each week, and the format of the program is fantastic.

If you wanted to recommend this show to a friend who had never heard of it, I think saying "It's like what if 'This is America' was a TV show instead of a music video".

A fantastically layered show that provokes the viewer to think deeply about a multitude of topics including race, class, and gender. You'll need to watch more than once
