The Vince Staples Show

This is a tough review because there were aspects of the show I really enjoyed, and others I didn't. It's like it was trying too hard to be both funny and serious at the same time. Pick a lane in my opinion. Possibly it's building up to something but with the episodes available to me currently, I'm not super interested in another season.

I gave it a 5/10 because I do think it has potential. The funny bits were truly laugh out loud funny but it seemed like 30 seconds later we were tackling some serious social injustices and that's not what I signed up for.

It's trying very hard to be the live action version of The Boondocks but just not as funny (not even close).

Loved the length of the episodes and the whole feel the show gives. Gotta have a season 2. Vince has a lot more material to give the world. And we wanna see it!

The dialogue was pretty funny and the acting wasn't bad at all. With more opportunities for the show to expand in characters and potential story lines. If the next season ever happens it will be a lot better and more refined.

Wish it had a soundtrack by Vince to go with it, but it doesn't take anything away from the show.

Very glad Netflix took a gamble with giving Vince his own show and from my opinion, this is solid television. Hope this introduces new fans to his music and shows the potential he has as an artist in multiple mediums.

The show is hilarious and believable, given Vince Staples's life story. It's a must-watch; its inspiration echoes Glover's show Atlanta, but this is for L. A.

I wholeheartedly hope this show gets renewed, as Vince is a very grounded entertainer in an age of digital and plastic facades.

The script is superb, and all the actors bring A* performances in each episode. Vince is Vince and each episode is compelling and amusing.

This type of show does outline there is a gap in the market for shows centred on black experiences submerged in humourous satire; if anything else it can aid in bridging cultural gaps and form understanding and appreciation that transcends audience demographics.

Take a bow, Mr. Staples.

Damn good show. Entertaining as hell. Vince nails the surrealist vibe with this and tells stories the way they were intended to be told. No BS, crazy experiences, and at the end of the day you just go home and chill. The show is the real deal. Dialogue is absolutely on point, to the point you forget you are watching a show. Everything is very intended and adds to the episode. The weird unexplained characters and antics are exactly what I want in entertainment. I did not even listen to Vince staples before I watched the show and I still love it. This is one of the few shows on Netflix that is leaps and bounds better than anything else on the platform.

This show is all I wanted from Vince and more. As soon as I heard that he was making a show I knew it was gonna be heat, but this is much better than I expected. The pacing, writing, humor, characters, theming, and music elevate the show to crazy heights. This not only proves Vince's chops as an actor, but as a writer and creator as well. I literally made an IMDB account just to write this review because I like the show that much. It really does portray an accurate look into the life of a lower-income nihilist rapper. Truly is one of the funniest shows to come out of Netflix in a while, so thank you Vince.
