After 2 episodes I'm sad.
Woke is not funny. I thought it's gonna be a parody of being woke. The talking objects just made it worse.
I loved Wonderfalls because of the talking objects!
Watching youtube is better than this!

I expected that it would be low rated because it makes certain people uncomfortable but I liked it. I always thought Lamorne Morris was the funniest in The New Girl.
I am a right of the middle type of person - and I 100% respect this show. I think it is important to have a show that more than likely and accurately describes black voices in a white liberal dominated society (ala San Fran) - the show hits more than it misses for me .. i could easily say "oh this is just PC BS trying to be shoved in my face" but it isn't - I truly think the scenarios shown in the show truly display a black voice whose journey to activism and fighting for his voice to be heard (which I wholeheartedly support) is difficult in a white dominated movement, because they truly want change ... at times if it feels they make fun of the woke movement and white liberals as being empty or nothing more than a virtue signal. I think the show feels real and at times misses which is why I don't think it is great by any means, but definitely watchable as Lamorne Morris is great.
Loved this first season. It captures the anxiety, uncertainty and confusion of having your eyes opened to the world the way it is instead of the way you want it to be. It's an uncomfortable place to be, and every episode this season reflects Keef's fits and starts into the new world. He makes mistakes and questionable decisions. He keeps his anger pushed down only for it to surface in unproductive ways. We see Keef try this season, and by the end, it looks like he might have hit his stride. I'm looking forward to season two.
I'm a Black Man in America. So I can definitely relate to the subject matter. And maybe that's why I don't like the show. I miss the days when Black Shows could just be Good shows without constantly pushing a narrative. It's not that funny of a show. And it's a little heavy handed. But it has some real funny moments. Defintely worth a pandemic watch. And some of y'all need to get of y'all feelings lol. It's just a tv show. Y'all so darn personal about this stuff.
