It can get a little repetitive...but that's precisely why it doesn't have that many seasons
the dedication and the quality of the sketches...mind-blowing!!
And that is really not capturing the true brilliance of key and peele
i feel like i can't pick the right words
les mis!! Fantastic!!
The cinematography on each sketch is just mind-blowing...the only reason i don't give this a 10 is because it's a sketch show and some sketches are not too great some over-the-top even for a sketch comedy...only that...the rest is just masterclass...

I'm not saying it's perfect. Genius is not equal to Perfect. It's a little hit and miss... and yet I feel it deserves a '10'.
I think it deserves this because these guys (and their writers, natch!) have stumbled upon a wondrous land of infinite possibility. Not many people attain to this; which restriction is also an indicator of true artistry. From top to bottom, the produced sketches reek of talent and inspiration. From conception to writing to directing to acting... We are treated to comedy on blue-flame fire. It's head humor, it's body humor, it's slapstick, it's transcendent, it's bestial.
It'll be interesting to see how long ComCent lets it run.
And, btw, I PREFER the new format (using road trip bits as ligature).
Highlights: S04E03; Georgina and Esther (*gotta* watch it uncensored!). S04E10; The scat duel (brutally mocking and lovingly homaging the tradition at the very same time!).
I'm looking forward to K&P continuing on an upward trajectory... Forever and Ever, AMEN.

There was a void in Comedy Central after "Chappelle's Show" ended and, while I don't want to say that "Key and Peele" completely filled it, they sure helped me not notice the absence as much. "Key and Peele" were gut-busting hilarious and YouTube users have enjoyed them by the millions. It sucks they only gave us four years, but like they say: "Leave them wanting more."
Key and Peele is a highly clever and hilarious sketch comedy series. It feels like a descendent of Chappelle's Show. Some of the skits are legitimately the funniest things I've ever seen in my laugh. Many of them having me crying from laughter. I love this show.
The show does dip in the later seasons. In the future I will only rewatch the first three seasons.
Season 1: 9 stars (about 4 viewings, 7/12/2023)
This show is amazing. There are multiple times per episode where I have to pause it because I'm laughing too hard. So creative. And they're both so awesome and naturally funny.
Season 2: 8 stars (about 4 viewings, 7/15/2023)
The misses are more common but the hits are just as strong. I love when they show crowd reactions when someone is dying from laughter.
Season 3: 8 stars (about 4 viewings, 7/24/2023)
Season 4: 6 stars (about 3 viewings, 7/31/2023)
This season has a few hilarious sketches, including my favorite KP sketch, Consequences! But more than half are either misses or just mildly amusing without laughter. And I miss the crowd. The car conversations rarely make me laugh.
Super Bowl Special: 6 stars (about 2 viewings, 8/1/2023)
Season 5: 4 stars (about 2 viewings, 8/11/2023)
More misses and very few hits. It's difficult to get through.

This is and always will be one of the greatest sketch comedy shows ever. It's brilliant and practically perfect. The writing is smart, insightful and hilarious. But best of all, actors Key and Peele are chameleons who vanish into an infinite number of characters with a wide range of different personalities, and that's what makes this show work. Even the best writing can fall flat if the actors aren't up to the challenge. Those two are pitch perfect in every single sketch.

- TriviaIn an interview with Larry King, referring to the show's humor on racism issues, Keegan Michael Key said, "In regard to our show, some people ask me sometimes, 'what is the greatest thing that can happen to your show?' I said the greatest thing that can happen to my show is that a kid watches something on whatever the equivalent of YouTube is 75 years from now and goes 'why is this funny? I don't understand this.'" Meaning that hopefully Americans will have solved the racism issues in the near future.
