Anyone else think the show is progressing really well?


The story line is consecutive and mildly entertaing, the jokes and characters are coming together a bit more I'd say. I def love Charlie Murphy

reply

Yes, same here. With this past episode, I've been coming around to two realisations:

1.) It's not a sitcom, so it has a story arc that will unfold over time. The humour won't be the same as that of a sitcom.

2.) Clattenburg must be the creative force here. I have no background on him (I never watched TPB), so that's just an assumption. However, it's a different comedic styling. This is just something I'll have to get used to.

Look, two things flaming at the same time.

From the 5 episodes that are out, and speaking as a huge fan of Trailer Park Boys, the story arcing is extremely similar. Which means the humor will improve as the characters reveal more of themselves.

Haha I would have sworn TPB was The Princess Bride on first glance. Glad you clarified!

reply

Yep. Vic is my favorite character!

Yes, I think the show is progressing well. I'm enjoying the episodes more and more, and to me they are getting funnier and funnier with the tiniest bit of poignancy sprinkled in.

it's fckn genius.

Who took my toast?

Charlie Murphy and John Witherspoon are the only reasons to watch this show. Thank Black Jesus' daddy Kali Hawk is on the show for eye candy, otherwise this sh!t is passable garbage.

When theres no more room in Hollywood, remakes shall walk the Earth.

Seriously?.

If it wasnt for Jesus (Gerald 'Slink' Johnson) I wouldent have watched the show, he's a good acter and a funny one aswell. Wouldent help with side-acters without the mainacter ;-)

And to OP, yeah, I love the show! Can't wait for the next ep ha ha =))

It's really turning out to be a lot like the trailer park boys, which wasn't amazing at first, but as the characters developed more and more, turned into one of the best shows ever.

reply

God damn it, I love this show, man. I though it started all slow and such but I happen to get to love it as it progresses. I think that the cast is great, especially Charlie Murphy. God, where has Charlie been all these years, man? That dude cracks me up and gets me in a good mood whenever I see his smiling face. I really hope this show gets renewed!
Praise Black Jesus!




I came, I saw, I laughed, I left.
