Featured review
I don't understand what happened but the writers just completely dropped the ball this show feels so out of touch from its source material. Everything is lacking the dialog, the plots and the character all feel underdeveloped and poorly written. This show prioritized being politically correct over comedy and plot it's supposed to be a black show yet it rarely ever deals with black issues directly. The writers were hell bent on making this a far more racially neutral show with the forced inclusion of various other races and far boarder topics and issues such as homophobia, martial strife's, sexuality etc.
The problem here is all of this comes at the cost of the core writing and characterization that this series is known for, every character from the movies act's and behaviors drastically different.
This Calvin is a push over that is unsure of himself and is constantly battling for respect in his own shop with the addition of Romadal he's constantly disrespected and undermined.
This Eddie is a out of touch alcoholic weirdo who's entire character gets minimized down to he's questionable sexuality all for the sake of forced inclusivity.
This Terri is a insanely annoying orphan that's somehow even more stereotypical and offensive than her movie counterpart. She is the worst character on the show and somehow gets the vast majority of screen time. Most these characters can be minimized down to unfunny one liners or mantras but the bulk of this character lines is literally constantly repeating herself so prepare to hear "my shit is pure" over and over again.
Romadal is a original character created for this show who had plenty of comedic potential that is never realized. The vast majority of his lines are literally one word b****, over and over just like Terri the writing is so bad I seriously question the age and intelligence of anyone recommending this garbage.
I'm not going to go any further examining all the characters because the vast majority of them are all this bad those above are just the ones that stuck out or disappointed me the most this is legitimately one of the worst shows I've ever seen.
