I almost really love this show, except a few too many sketches need to be edited. The plots just go on too long to maintain the humor. For example, the bar with the dances being stolen and the restaurant, the plot just continues and continues ostensibly to make them into a full fledged story with a beginning, middle, and end, but if it were just tidied up and ended sooner, the sketches would be spot on. Saturday Night Live does this well, just ending a scene after the jokes are made:
That said, I do actually laugh out loud and this show could be a 9 with some editing, trimming the script, and focus on delivering the laughs without providing a full, layered narrative.

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.

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.
WHY did I not hear about this earlier??? I subscribe to HBO and have been definitely missing out. This show is ridiculously funny; the annoying woman had me literally doubled-over from laughing. This is NOT "def comedy jam" or some Wayans spin-off where shock-value replaces humor. This is intelligent, innovative AND above all hilarious.
Like any sketch show, you may not be entertained by all the skits. I find it smart and witty. My kind of humor. Kudos.
