South Side

Based only on the first episode, this is a very funny new show from Comedy Central. The pace and editing means that the jokes come at you fast with basically no time to catch your breath. The first episode does a lot of leg work establishing the characters and the world and it does a great job doing so. For people who have watched Reno 911! and Workaholics, South Side will definitely feel familiar in a general sense, but also fresh and new because of how underrepresented Black creators are. There are times where you can feel how the actors are improvising and playing off each other, which is very reminiscent of the other shows I mentioned and it's something I personally love. I love comedies that feel just a bit unpolished.

This show is good. It's fast paced, the characters are great, the world is interesting and it's very funny. I'm definitely tuning in again.

I live on the South Side, and I like everything about this show. I think it is very Chi -- the most Chi-town show on t.v. The locations are familiar. The characters are authentic. The perspectives of the characters are very real. In the episode about the popcorn game, which is truly so serious in Chicago, they even set the chase scenes to House music. The humor is very silly, which does not suit some people's taste, but the whole show is just too fresh to be corny. I love it, wish it came on every night.

I finally watched after seeing many the commercials on comedy central while watching The Office, broad city, or drunk history. I really enjoyed these characters, especially my dude from Sherman's Showcase (Another must watch show), Officer Goodnight! If you want to laugh your A#s off at some silly humor please watch!!

This is far and away the funniest newer comedy I've seen. One of the best ensembles As well; every character is funny. It's rare that a show catches me during the first episode but this is one of them. Great Chicago references sprinkled in as well.

Very funny show and Chandra Russell absolutely makes this show what it is. But it seems to be losing its way in season 2. I'm only on season 2 episode 5 so hopefully it gets back on track.
