... it needs tons of work. I wanted to like it as I am a big Run fan, I'm also an 80s rapper and happened to look just like him. they need acting coaches badly, and some more polished writers... given the time to develop it can be a solid Netflix watch, for right now it's good for families with kids who are young enough to not tell when the acting is poor. but as an adult it was more background noise while I looked on my cell phone.

Love the writing on the show which could have been a big family show but i think the casting for the show was weak specially the main guy.

Stumbled upon this show browsing the myriad of shows available on Netflix last night and am about halfway through the series. Sure it's not laugh out loud funny, it's not terribly clever but the characters are likeable and it is a pleasant watch with the odd giggle moment popping up here and there. Though it is more of an atmospheric show (something inoffensive playing in the background rather than centre focus) I will stick with the series all the way through... I mean after all, there is a LOT of rubbish and Overwhelming multimedia being broadcast into our homes on a consistent basis and it's nice to just relax and watch something that's not overstimulating.

I managed to get through a few episodes. The acting is so awful, in particular the mum. It's such a shame as the eldest daughter was pretty good in scream. This is not cute or funny it's just bad. It reminds me of the to bad to laugh at nick programmes. Could be my age but if your older than 12 just skip it.

Wife can't act her timing is off her facial expressions and tone of voice seems to be unbearable at times and not real

Is it a breakout comedy hit? No. But it does have its moments and is definitely something that a family can sit down and watch together which is it's main target audience. There are by far worse shows on and it's good to have something that is considered for kids but doesn't walk the line with profanity and sexual suggested material. Acting starts off shaky but gets better as the season moves on. Watch and judge for yourself, especially if watching with the fam.

The main issue with this production is that if feels really rushed. The acting is really not great. And the jokes are really old. Feels like a poorly executed 80's sitcom.

It have potential, funny at times, I feel the show would be better if it wasn't rushed. Also the story line doesn't come together hope they improve in the second season.

The show is very family friendly and fun, meaning at some points, the humor may just come off as shallow -- to a more serious audience I mean. Personally the pilot didn't hook me, but I continued on (because I myself prefer shows below the 30 minute mark) and eventually I found myself having to finish it.

I enjoyed the season, and found myself getting attached to the characters personalities after a few episodes. Audience just needs to be a bit open to some seemingly forced humor and cringe worthy side comments.

Overall, family friendly, nothing raunchy (like most shows or movies that fall under "comedy") and very light. Easy to follow as well.

The show started out as good as it could have but then devolved into a caricature of the worst 70s and 80s black sitcoms.

The father being out of touch was a good place to start, but Joseph Simmons who is the legendary Run of Run DMC is a terrible actor. I'll even by the prodigy daughter (if they had someone who was actually smart write the part) but the rest of it was garbage.

Justine Simmons, who is the real life wife of Reverend Run, since it is "her turn" to go out and work quickly starts channelling a caricature of Jackée Harry's 227 character Sondra.

Bad acting and bad writing happens but when it's the fall of one of my favorite rappers it takes on a deeper sadness.

I really enjoyed the first season. Justine Simmons' acting was not great, but she is such a genuinely likeable person in real life that it made me root for her to get better with each episode. Rev Run's acting was better than I expected. The children were pros and it showed. I loved that I enjoyed it alone, but I could also watch with the whole family. I hope they give them another season to live up to their full potential.

This show is probably the worse show i have ever seen, The show by itself is not really fun to watch and these "jokes" are just a pain in the back and not funny to me i don't recommend watching this show, Netflix.. do better with these types of shows.

This show is kinda boring and not really worth watching. It's a sitcom version of Run House.

His hands are all over the place. xD Dont mind the family but the "Rapper"/"Dad" breaks the whole show with his acting and body language.

Good family show. Definitely entertaining. Good story line. But still decent.

Talk about rushing to get a new sitcom out. Really not great and far too much stereotyping! If this gets a second season then there is something wrong with Netflix!

Binged it this afternoon and now I'm sad that it's over. Great family dynamic! Rev Run and Justine bring the magic that made us love them on their reality show to life in their fictional characters. The kids are all super talented. Can't wait for Season 2

This is just a garbage scripted version of Run's House.

A lot of negative reviews here but my feelings are it was really fun and light hearted. Yes it was all pretty obvious but it was done well without trying to be too clever.

This show was at least worth another season I didn't like it at first but 3 episodes in it grew on me I like the characters The kids are funny.

This show came out perfect timing. I've been craving to watch something just simple and good feeling. Too many intense shows out right now and I just wanted something to relax and still multi-task to. Kinda reminds me of "my wife and kids". Parts are a little cheesey and main set is living room. If you don't like that, just forewarning but all-in-all it's a good family show to relax to.

It's a great family show! Which is nice to have these days because so many shows now you can't sit and watch as a family. Ready for the next season to come out! I wish The episodes were longer! We binged the whole season in two days lol! But all in all a wonderful show!

I watched all of the episodes on Netflix and the show is very funny! I appreciate a great family show, compared to the foolishness that's currently on TV.

I personally love this show, it has great humor and it is great show for your family to sit down and watch together. As the show goes on you get to know the family a little better. I'd recommend watching it
