Demascus

This show is a masterpiece. I love how it's a black cast version of black mirror. I definitely think this show has potential for a long run. However, am I experience any sci-fi black shows that are good always get canceled prematurely. For example, the watchmen on HBO. I just wanna highlight. It's an amazing cast.

Black culture at it's finest. The actor who plays Demascus brings instant appeal as a highly relatable and intelligent black man. Demascus represents those black geniuses who don't put on the suit and who don't put on an act for others. He lives in his own universe where code switching is unnecessary. His friends are interesting and Uncle 40, played by Martin Lawrence is an absolute gem.

The show was incredibly creative and absolutely hilarious! I found myself laughing out loud throughout every episode. The writing is clever, the humor is sharp, and the storytelling is refreshingly original. The Thanksgiving episode was definitely my favorite-brilliantly written and performed! I loved seeing Martin Lawrence and Lynn Whitfield together again. The entire cast is super talented and brings so much depth and energy to their roles-I loved how they could switch it up and be completely different characters. I genuinely hope more people discover this gem of a series so we get the chance to see what reality Demascus is truly in. Fingers crossed for another season!

While the series was better than some of the trash shows out there, I did not find it to be extraordinary. The basic premise is interesting of being able to experience how your life might have gone give different circumstances. To me, it seemed like they couldn't really move past the color of the main characters skin. I did find the acting and scenes to be a bit forced at times, and didn't really flow organically. Overall, it is worth a watch, but not a re-watch.

This show was very funny, with a fun plot & great messaging. It's not your typical sci-fi episodic, it has great substance but doesn't feel too serious or heavy. They did a phenomenal job with this gem of a movie & Martin is HILARIOUS!!! Really enjoyed the series; great performances, fun sci-if story with meaning & purpose while keeping you engaged & excited. I only wish it got picked up for a 2nd season.
