Good Times

Other than the characters names this show has absolutely nothing to do with the message that the original tv show was trying to get across, and what idiot thought a baby selling Crack was going to be funny? Black people have come to far for this BS and need to let Netflix know it, don't know why in the year 2024 anyone would make such garbage, it is embarrassing and an insult to all black people, except Tim Scott and Byron Donald's who think we act this way in real life, I really wonder what audience was this actually made for, was it made for an African American family or was it made to further the racism being brought about in politics.

This is an insult in all shapes and sizes. How dare they desecrate my youthful television favorite with this racist characterizations. The people of color who signed up for and are behind this atrocity should be deeply ashamed to have their name associated with this crap. Talk about two steps back. J. B should know better but I guess the money was good. WTH Curry got to do with movies, stay in your lane dude. I am sure his dad watched the original as I did in Staunton but obviously he never shared the it with Stephan. Wonder what Dale thinks of this. Netflix should remove this as soon as possible. Absolutely nothing to see here! 👎🏿

In the past year, Netflix has shifted gears, abandoning the pursuit of quality in favor of becoming a mere content aggregator. Nowhere is this more evident than in their treatment of Black Stories-shallow, tokenistic offerings that scream, "Here's something we think the community will tolerate," devoid of any genuine effort to deliver quality entertainment.

Take, for instance, their recent Shirley Chisholm Movie debacle. It looked as though they threw spare change at it and managed to get everything about Chisholm wrong.

Now Good Times. This insulting portrayal, steeped in old stereotypes, is just the tip of the iceberg. And I highly doubt this poorly executed, offensive mess will win them any new audience.

Netflix originals have become increasingly unbearable. From the disaster that was the Zack Snyder debacle to the mishandling of "3 Body Problem," it's evident that Netflix's enthusiasm for new creators and bold ideas has waned, replaced by tired clichés and a race to the bottom.

We may be witnessing the twilight of the streaming golden age, but I never imagined quality would plummet to such depths in a business model reliant on subscriber retention.

I understand the reboot and the concept but the stereotypes are killing me I couldn't get pass the first episode its actually embarrassing. I can't believe the actors went along with a 1 year old selling drugs, then they say he's a mirror to stewie from family guy naww. I honestly believe they felt the show was funny and they would get the best response from it. Being from Chicago we try to stay away from stereotypes but as a whole this set us back like 50 years. This is not why we work hard to be portrayed like this on TV I didnt find this show funny at all, it actually looked like a good a watch but i couldnt continue.

I can't believe what I just watched. Saw someone post a screenshot of this and thought I'd give it a shot. Wow. Thinks actually embarrassing. Why as black people do we want to perpetuate stereotypes that have harmed our communities and our own well-being. We've come so far and now this????? Whatever intelligent comedy there may be here is lost because we have to sit through gun violence by children (literal babies!), roaches in the apartment, glorifying "hoes"...when it first started and they referenced the "white Jesus" episode of the original show I though we were going somewhere empowering, but no. Just another act of self-hatred billed as art. We have to do better.
