Marlon Wayans: Good Grief

What I enjoyed most about this performance was the honesty and heart felt moments. I can tell you wanted people to feel a little hint of what you might be going through with your craft. I applaud you for it.

Which explains the title good grief, very clever. Dark humor can definitely get overwhelming sometimes. On the other hand, it did not make me want to stop watching. By the end of the show I actually forgot about the dark.

When you started talking about what you're going through that's what stood out the most and being able to make me laugh and feel I was very entertained. It was a roller coaster of emotions.

Keep up the hard work and ignore the haters. This will go down as one of your best performances. Well done. Very well done.

Being a person who critically watches most productions, I trust that finishing it & watching til the very end would've made all the difference & bought it all home!

I saw S1E1 as a definite comedic juxtaposition of joy & pain, life & death. Found it to be a heartfelt & heart-full "Wayans" project worthy of every laugh an outsider could munster up & give in the vein of "good grief." And the SMH references & roastings of some leading vet Celebs was like the litmus test for Wayans' emotional extremes.

Those "oh boyyy wow-did he go there jokes" I saw them as exaggerated takes on his own everlasting & overwhelming Grief... Marlon took it as far as his LOL mind could but with a consistent thread of Humanity, Hope, Healing & Honor 🎖 in his own 'kid @ heart' Marlon slapstick kinda way.

I think true comedy appreciators would definitely find it giggle worthy & see the art imitating life parralels.

And if there's any truth to his Mom being the comedy springboard of the Wayans family...then I would think she gave "her baby Marlon" her total blessing to take his "off-brand of humor" ALL the way!

...just my opinion 😉🍷 O, and also: minus the profanity, I was actually wondering if my deceased parents could've or would've found him entertaining or atleast artistically amusing. If they had a clean version recorded, I surely woulda tried to watch with an 80+ year old for their sense of humor commentary.✍🏽

Comedy is about more than what the comedian is talking about it's about where it's coming from whether or not it's true and whether or not we can relate to it so in the definition of a true standup comedy show I think he nailed it because it was actually funny. I saw two stars and four stars and I don't think that's realistic because it's more than whether or not you were offended by it. It was still funny and it was even funnier the way he told it I read one review that was titled I'm not easily offended, but why would you be offended by someone else's pain? I thought that was pretty corny Marlon is a staple in the comedy scene. I think no matter what he talks about It's going to be funny Because he's just a funny person. Six stars is pretty accurate.

This is my facorite comedic special of the year if your ride with it. I don't usually like this guy, but this older more mature version is turning up. I am optimistic for the second half of his career.

The content in this special is raw, and you will not see Netflix specials that come close to the level of vulgarity and sometimes meanness that Wayans exhibits.

No one has really touched on the topics he does in this special and it is hilarious if you ride with it. He goes much farther than you I was expecting or frankly ready for him to go.

But he brings it back on track in each circumstance, keeping it light while playing with the darkness. I hope folks respect this for the masterpiece it is. Its apparent he (and probably his team also) put a lot of work into this.

Pure comedic genius and authenticity. Marlon gave the audience an intimate look into his family life and dealing with life issues such as grief/depression, through a comedic lense. One second, I'm laughing and the next, I'm crying. The show really made me think about the most important things in life while keeping me laughing nonstop, quite literally. This show is a must see. I don't write reviews often but I thought I would be doing others a disservice by withholding my opinion in this scenario. I like to let others know when I have found a true gem. I have always been a huge Marlon Wayans fan but this allows me to see him in a more intimate way.
