I got all caught up on season 2 of comedian Jerrod Carmichael's series, and two words keep coming to mind with each episode - Norman Lear. As with his shows of the '70s- "The Jeffersons", "All In The Family", etc.. - this series seems to tackle all the socio-political topics of the day. Each episode takes on a different subject. I won't say this show is knee-slapping hilarious, but it does make you think, and it's definitely not afraid to get all non-PC. Carmichael himself you can tell is still getting his feet wet as an actor, as he has surrounded himself with some heavy-hitters -- film and TV veterans Loretta Devine, David Alan Grier, etc.. so he sometimes can stand out with his acting style. All in all, I'm enjoying this show so far, and am looking forward to what it will tackle next.
score 7/10
