Kenan

At first I wasn't sure what to make it of it because ifs been a while since I've seen a heartfelt funny family show and I just didn't expect it. It's hilarious and it's a sweet show about grief. Slow down and give it a chance, it's actually really good. Happy for Kenyan, I've heard him on interviews and he's a really humble down to earth guy, good for him.

Maybe it will get better. The idea is great but I feel a lot of restraint which leads to a lot of the jokes falling flat.

There's a lot to enjoy about the show. Kenyan kills it. Honestly, he's the only reason I've gotten through the first episodes. In fact, all the characters are great. However, the main character's wife died and every episode is linked to her death. I hope the show evolves beyond this. The concept is a little tiring and a little depressing especially for a sitcom. I hope they rework what the show is about and let the actors and characters be fun.

With so many seasoned comics, this show had a lot of potential. Unfortunately, that potential was not reached. Kenan plays "Kenan", a widowed father., and like many of it's predecessors, the premise relies on secondary characters to help the single parent but in actuality only helps to create more characters and storylines. It has the feel of a school play and is actually pretty dull. It has heart, but no humour. Kenan should stick to his day (or in this case Saturday night) job.

Someone wrote a review about the laugh track. I'm guessing they didn't watch the show because there is no laugh track lol

The show is okay. I love Kenan and even Chris Redd, so naturally I'm already set up to laugh. If you don't like Kenan or SNL, then absolutely you will hate the show.

Yes this formula has been done a thousand times, and someone in another review pointed out its similarities to The Unicorn, which is also true (recently widowed father raising two girls). There are some differences obviously but I do enjoy The Unicorn too.

The banter between Kenan and Chris Redd & Don Johnson does provide a few laughs and Kenan's daughters make for some decent laughs.

Give it a try. I mean, we went through 2020 and 1.5 of 2021 so far - things have been worse lol
