As a Black lady, I'm extremely glad this show exists because, from the performers to the writers to the crew, there's so much talent. But to be honest with y'all... the writing is still weak. I am excited for the rest of season 2 and I'll keep watching because the cast is so strong, but the writing for sure needs work.
Some sketches are straight-up confusing (for the baby shower one in season 2, it took me forever to understand who was related to who), the subplot about the apocalypse is so drawn-out that it's hard to care about, the pacing of some sketches fizzle out almost immediately, and some sketches rely SO heavily on tired stereotypes that I forget we're in 2021.
I do love the general premise of most of the sketches though, and Robin is such a comedic force. There is so much potential in this show, and I think the show could benefit from taking a wittier, more subtle approach instead of being so heavy-handed.

Whether a sketch is good or great, these ladies are always a lot of fun. I'm in love with the Boppers sketch. Please find a way to bring them back.
There's always one sketch per episode I flat-out adore and the rest are fun. Bring back the Boppers!!
I have to admit that while starting to watch the first episode I was a bit prejudicial, thinking how tired I was of hearing women referred to as 'b*****s' & 'ho's' & all the other modern vernacular. I very soon changed my mind about this show however. The cast are all spot on with their character portrayals & the whole show is knowing & self aware. I think it is clever & very entertaining. I am looking forward to what these ladies poke fun at in future episodes.
Like any sketch show, you may not be entertained by all the skits. I find it smart and witty. My kind of humor. Kudos.
The performances of Robin Thede and Gabrielle Dennis in S2- Episode 5, weren't just entertaining but impressive.
