Worth the Watch

A simple show with a simple premise and worth all your time. The story lines feel super relatable, realistic, and timely. Using mostly unknown actors/actresses allows you to just enjoy the dialogue and compatibility without having expectations.

good low fun with brains

It's a lower end casino in Gary, Indiana. There are various workers in dead end jobs. Sam (Sam Jay) is a gay food worker. Chris (Chris Redd) is a valet. Langston (Langston Kerman) is a janitor. Jak (Jak Knight) is a stock boy. Chauncey (Freddie Gibbs) is the HR manager.

Lorne Michaels is the big name executive producer. This lasted one season for 6 episodes on Peacock. Chris Redd has a very recognizable face and been around SNL. I'm not sure about the others in the cast. Sam Jay seems to be more a writer and contributed on SNL. In fact, everybody seems to do a lot of writing. This is a different type of sitcom. I can see why they couldn't get on the big networks. It's black. It's some good low fun with brains. It has an edge that isn't on other shows. It doesn't always work, but the writing does not stop.

Bust out in tears!

Nah this show is hilarious. I was not expecting to laugh this hard. How do they say their lines with a straight face? Something might actually be wrong with Chris & Jak. Guaranteed tears whenever they're on screen. Sam is comedy & Freddie Gibbs, gold! He's always on time. Dominque Perry is one of my favs!! The light skin scenes. TEARS. Langston kills me. Now I know how my brother feels. Hoping they'll get a second season, I'll rewatch S1 in the meantime.

Irreverent Comedy At It's Finest

This show is Laugh-Out-Loud funny. I binge-watched all 6 episodes and I'm planning on re-watching them over and over again! Sam Jay, Jak Knight, Langston Kerman and Chris Redd came together like Voltron and made a one helluva project!

Hilarious

This show is hilarious. I love Freddie Gibbs character!!! I watched all the episodes available and I have to say all they just get better and better. I really hope it gets picked up for a second season. It's a show that doesn't take it's too seriously. Definitely not a show to watch in kids are in the room.

Binged all six episodes in one sitting

Hella funny! Writing is so damn good. It gets better with each episode. Also, the jokes touch on serious stuff in way but still makes me laugh out loud. I can't wait to see what they do next with more episodes.

Maybe it's just me.....

Was looking forward to this as I love South Side and thought this would be the same. The promise of "edgy comedy" definitely appealed.

I barely made it through the first episode though. It didn't seem that funny. The edgy comedy seemed to consist of making fun of male on male sexual assault in the workplace by a supervisor. At least if your going to joke about something like that, make it funny.

But no. Maybe it gets better but definitely no.

What am I missing?

Decided to watch this after seeing a clip in social media. I made it to episode 4, but not through it. Ugh!!! I can rely on IMDB typically but I'm just going to assume this was funny to most based on the time that came out. Maybe we were all struggling for something to stream based on the world's uncertainty? The comedy is soooooo corny. Chris Redd is hit or miss for me and outside of SNL it's just MISS. Some valid topics but this was not the show to bring them to light in a funny or non-funny way. It's was like a horrible version of Southside. Glad that stopped it after season 1. The overall rating is wild.
