Grand Crew

By episode 3 or 4 I was invested fully. The dynamic of everyone in the crew is great and original. It has the happy energy of the best parts of how I met your mother. I have a feeling that this could grow into a solid 5 season arc if nurtured right.

This is a goofy Millennial generation show about friends that reminds me of New Girl and Happy Endings- just snapshots of life with some poignant lessons learned through jokes, somewhat ridiculous shenanigans and flashbacks. The cast has filled out a bit in the first few episodes and I'm interested to see the characters grow and the show overall finds a better groove.

I think the writing is funny and familiar. Feels like any old sitcom with a group of friends in their 30s which I enjoy. As a black man I love the representation, but kinda disappointed that all the black men feel exactly the same. Other than the main character and his sister, the first two episodes don't really differentiate the other mens' personalities other than the fact that their black and wear different clothes, one wears sweaters, one wears glasses, and one wears hats.

My favorite character is Nicky. Not sure why she hangs out with these guys, but love Nicole Byer.

If they can really start differentiating all the characters and digging deeper, on top of some solid performances and witty storytelling, this could be great.

Grand Crew is a fun watch. The comedy hits well and watching the dynamics between the characters feels genuine.

I'm excited to see if Noah's Rom-Com daydream actually plays out, and I love the tension between Anthony and Sherm. Nicky is hilarious AND ridiculous, and it's impossible to not love her. What a treat!

Yes it's just another sitcom and yes I'm a white person so might not matter what I think but I love this the point is it's like any other sitcom it's silly and fun and it's about time that Black people get a show that is so normal for that channel but be about a specific race good because now our futures generation will grow up with tv like we had but a lot more diversity that's good it's a step in the right direction to help next generations see everyone on tv as normal and not just white people everywhere

and sorry for the lack of punctuations in my review that's a whole other private problem of my own so please excuse the improper sentencing of my review.
