The Vince Staples Show

I enjoyed the first season and watched it twice. It had its fun moments and subliminal messages and I actually understood the idea and concept behind it. It was mixed with good and sometimes over the top clever humor ,relatable, which made it more fun to watch. It connected with me on different levels and I couldn't wait to watch the second season.

The second season sadly didn't reach the same heights and the clever humor from season 1. Everything that made the first season good, was exchanged with slapstick humor, way over the top storylines which at some times felt like cheap version of popular movies (Get Out) and supposed to be funny scenes which did not connect with me at all. Bigger budget doesn't always mean better production I guess. I barely found myself laughing and enjoying it. I was more so just watching it to support Vince, as I am a fan of his art. Kind of dissapointing second season. Which they would've kept the same direction as the first season. Hope they can get it right with a third season cause this wasn't it.

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.

I didn't think this needed a 2nd season but yet here we are. I can't help but feel like this is a diluted version of the FX show Atlanta. I personally am a fan of Vince Staples music. I like some of the concepts he has on certain episodes but in my opinion they fall short the longer they go on.

I loved the bank Episode from season 1. The cinematography on every episode is excellent. Outside of that, some of the writing lack the depth I was hoping for. Season 2 was boring and even corny at times. Don't get me wrong, there are some funny moments but I just feel like this could have been more naturally comedic if it wasn't trying so hard to be funny. Some scenes drag out longer than they need to be. Nonetheless, I can appreciate the introspective moments, metaphorical meanings and subliminal music industry concepts written within the dialogue.

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.

Clearly this show is intriguing, and yet oddly satisfying. With so many screens today displaying (no pun intended) a higher fantasy way of a regular guy from the hood life, it's obvious that Vince Staples hasn't erased the big picture of it all. My advice when watching this series is to remember that even though some may see it as a similar show that's already on the air, you have to realize that every hood, city, state, environment is different. It may look the same, but The Vince Staples Show is from Vince's own perspective on his life... No other show can do it better than him. So no, it isn't similar, it's Vince. A lot of real life choices are shown in each episode from everyday people, which many can relate to. If you're not loving this series because you can't relate to it, that doesn't take away the fact that it is indeed good.

It's good to change it up every once in a while, and this change was needed. Let's take a break from expensive heists that normal guys don't do in the city for trillion dollar diamonds, and bring the reality of the nitty gritty.
