    Powerful, Magical, Mind - F(ed), Delicious!

    What is this wayward deliciously delightful Ness? Last time I was this titilated was on the A train to no parts in particular shopping a full day in Manhattan, going to a street fair And walking home by the magical shop lights of the city of Gotham. All the while thinking that the world of possibilities lay verdant at my feet. Thank you. Thank you!

    Must Watch TV! Its really quite intriguing and briiliant.

    This show is amazing! The low rating is absolutely racially motivated. The show is eclectic, diverse in topics and showing Black folks in different hues, sex-positive / explorative, open-minded, Womanist, LGBT/Queer-friendly, vulnerable, honest, smart, intelligent, factual, witty, cerebral, and experimental. Usually, genres like this and those of the "weird /niche /experimental/ realism" are relegated to white actors for a white audience. This show represents that we too are appreciative of this style of documentation and we can tell great stories in this format. It's nice to have representation and exploration of our cultural identity, plight, and nuances in a nontraditional stereotypical way.

    Excellent. Best show going.

    Anyone who has a problem with the content of this show is "the problem". This show should be encouraging discussion about race relations in America and the experience of Black America. If you said you feel like you're being "guilted" while watching this, you're telling us a lot about yourself.

    I cannot imagine how this show wouldn't win a lot of big awards. If it doesn't, something is wrong. This is practically the only show I look forward to each week, and the format of the program is fantastic.

    If you wanted to recommend this show to a friend who had never heard of it, I think saying "It's like what if 'This is America' was a TV show instead of a music video".

    Gripping Social Satire with a Message!

    So I was recommended to me to watch this so I did. Now initially watching it I was like what the hell am I watching? after a few sketches I realized I was watching a documentary-style sketch comedy show with a satirical twist. Every episode takes that particular approach to cover some touchy topics from Black face, toxic masculinity, trans living, rape culture, body dysmorphia to good hair in the black community. The show also give clips revealing a black history that most wouldn't learn in school. The show displays strong cultural and political significance to the black society with a unique yet gripping approach. The narrative kept me intrigued enough to binge watch the entire season. The overall vibe gave me adult swim, chappelle show with some controversial but needed plots. I can see why it's on HBO at midnight but I'm glad I was recommended it.
