Marlon Wayans: Good Grief

What I enjoyed most about this performance was the honesty and heart felt moments. I can tell you wanted people to feel a little hint of what you might be going through with your craft. I applaud you for it.

Which explains the title good grief, very clever. Dark humor can definitely get overwhelming sometimes. On the other hand, it did not make me want to stop watching. By the end of the show I actually forgot about the dark.

When you started talking about what you're going through that's what stood out the most and being able to make me laugh and feel I was very entertained. It was a roller coaster of emotions.

Keep up the hard work and ignore the haters. This will go down as one of your best performances. Well done. Very well done.

While I'm an old die-hart fan of the Wayans family, I was excited optimistic and hopeful that I would not only get some good laughs, but that I would have some insight on a family we all wish we had. Sadly, I was disappointed-I'm certain his jokes came from a place of pain but I don't think the audience really needed an insight on his experiences that were all but funny! I sat there watching in wonder of what his famous siblings thought! I even tried to understand the funny flip side of it all, but unfortunately that side never flipped. I did chuckle when he discussed the 'great Shaquille O'Neal-but that smile was quickly saddened when he noted who should've been killed from all great NBA giants.

Being a person who critically watches most productions, I trust that finishing it & watching til the very end would've made all the difference & bought it all home!

I saw S1E1 as a definite comedic juxtaposition of joy & pain, life & death. Found it to be a heartfelt & heart-full "Wayans" project worthy of every laugh an outsider could munster up & give in the vein of "good grief." And the SMH references & roastings of some leading vet Celebs was like the litmus test for Wayans' emotional extremes.

Those "oh boyyy wow-did he go there jokes" I saw them as exaggerated takes on his own everlasting & overwhelming Grief... Marlon took it as far as his LOL mind could but with a consistent thread of Humanity, Hope, Healing & Honor 🎖 in his own 'kid @ heart' Marlon slapstick kinda way.

I think true comedy appreciators would definitely find it giggle worthy & see the art imitating life parralels.

And if there's any truth to his Mom being the comedy springboard of the Wayans family...then I would think she gave "her baby Marlon" her total blessing to take his "off-brand of humor" ALL the way!

...just my opinion 😉🍷 O, and also: minus the profanity, I was actually wondering if my deceased parents could've or would've found him entertaining or atleast artistically amusing. If they had a clean version recorded, I surely woulda tried to watch with an 80+ year old for their sense of humor commentary.✍🏽

This is my facorite comedic special of the year if your ride with it. I don't usually like this guy, but this older more mature version is turning up. I am optimistic for the second half of his career.

The content in this special is raw, and you will not see Netflix specials that come close to the level of vulgarity and sometimes meanness that Wayans exhibits.

No one has really touched on the topics he does in this special and it is hilarious if you ride with it. He goes much farther than you I was expecting or frankly ready for him to go.

But he brings it back on track in each circumstance, keeping it light while playing with the darkness. I hope folks respect this for the masterpiece it is. Its apparent he (and probably his team also) put a lot of work into this.

He is a such a Talent , Tons of laugh with snuggling grief .Love watching Good Grief seen someone has a sense of humor with huge heart . All comes from good heart. Every moments of our life tells story and This one was true story of Marlon's and make us laugh even sad moments of his past by in our life's . Take a away heavy lift from your shoulder. I watched two times. Just reminder me Life is short and keep smiling keep your heart open to others . Translating sense of humor with Grief Not easy ,God give you strength to keep going after even all of your major losts. Been a on spot light and show must going. Thank you for this beautiful show Marlon wayans.
