Detroiters

This was such a unique, hilarious show and can't really imagine why it was canceled. With all the mediocrity that garners attention nowadays, this show deserved a bigger audience. Watch "Smilin' Jack" featuring Keegan-Michael Key. It'll make you're day ... every time you watch it.

I don't know how this would play if I didn't come from Detroit, but I do, and I love the many references to Detroit culture: Mort Crim, Vernors, Detroit R&B and Soul Music... The entire cast is terrific but Sam Richardson is one of those brilliant comic actors that comes along every once and awhile, like Pryor and Murphy, who have have instinctive comic timing and charm. He's instantly lovable even while his character is displaying less than a admirable behavior.

This show has its own quirky pacing and self awareness that makes it distinctly it's own. I hope people discover it. It's a perfect little comic gem.

I really wish this show would have stayed afloat. It was so underrated anand original and the bromance is so real. A friendship like this does so much for a fun watch and I loved every second.

There is every little Michigander thing you can imagine included. As a Michigander from Ypsi, this is gold! Every MI born actor guest stars even Joumana (if you know, then you should be watching this). It's absolutely absurd a lot like Broad City and The Office, just totally randomness and that's why it's amazing. In one episode, one the main characters is accidentally convinced he's a stripper...accidentally convinced that he is something he isn't 🤣 omg it's hysterical. If that kind of comedy doesn't suit you, that's ok. At least watch an episode or two for the Michigan tidbits, those are so worth it. Anything MI related is name dropped and honestly, it's refreshing. How many shows do we watch set in N. Y., Chicago, Miami, L. A., etc It's about time Detroit got some spotlight! We're always getting negative limelight and Detroit and MI in general, have so much to offer.

Lifelong best friends Sam Duvet (Sam Richardson) and Tim Cramblin (Tim Robinson) are trying to make their way in the world of local advertising in Detroit. Tim is married to Sam's sister Chrissy. Tim's father was a local advertising legend but those glory days are in the past. Their employees include elderly long-time secretary Sheila Portnadi, film school grad Lea, and Tommy Pencils.

This is fun stupidity. There is a real sense of friendship and a sense of a place. They may not be big names or leading men but their relationship really grows on me. They seem like great guys to go with to a Piston game. There is also the place. For the last few years, Detroit has been sold as a ghost town and urban blight. This version of Detroit is so much more appealing like a small town USA. The city couldn't be more charming and the guys would be good drinking buddies.
