Grand Crew

The conversations are familiar and while I know there will be people that don't relate or just do not want to give it a chance, I have decided to give new shows full character and group chemistry development.

Good show thus far...excited for the new.

The pilot was a little rough but it gets into it's groove by ep 4. I feel like the writing is getting better as it goes on for sure. I am on ep 7 right now and i love all the characters, Sherm and Nicky having my favorite scenes. :) I am excited for the rest of the season!

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.

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.
