    Keep it real!

    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.

    Over the line, vulgar, and Originally Brilliant

    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.

    I think 6 stars is accurate...

    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.

    I'm JUST BEING HONEST!

    While I'm an old die-hart fan of the Wayans family, I was excited optimistic and hopeful that I would not only get some good laughs, but that I would have some insight on a family we all wish we had. Sadly, I was disappointed-I'm certain his jokes came from a place of pain but I don't think the audience really needed an insight on his experiences that were all but funny! I sat there watching in wonder of what his famous siblings thought! I even tried to understand the funny flip side of it all, but unfortunately that side never flipped. I did chuckle when he discussed the 'great Shaquille O'Neal-but that smile was quickly saddened when he noted who should've been killed from all great NBA giants.
