ThiefHott Too much of everything

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

SnoopyStyle In the downtrodden community of Fort Grey, Cal, aspiring rapper Courtney Rose (Brandon Micheal Hall) runs for mayor to promote his music. T.K. Clifton (Marcel Spears) and Jermaine Leforge (Bernard David Jones) are his best friends and entourage. He lives with his postal worker mom Dina Rose (Yvette Nicole Brown). Former schoolmate Valentina Barella (Lea Michele) runs the opponent's campaign. With Courtney's shocking victory, Valentina volunteers to run his office. Corrupt councilman Ed Gunt (David Spade) is a political rival.The cast is amiable and the characters are sweet enough. Often, Courtney learns a lesson and grows as a character. Spade provides a good sleazy villain. It probably could have done something if given more time. The network cancels it after making 13 episodes. I actually expected it to stretch out the campaigning for the first year. That has great potential and the season could have ended with his surprise victory. Instead, this quickly turns into a standard sitcom. I'm not sure about creator Jeremy Bronson's intentions but he definitely stumbled upon a more uplifting portrayal of small city politics. It's got the underdog aspect and the feel-good lesson of the week.

matthijsalexander Synopsis: Teenager likes to rap, accidentally becomes Mayor of a somewhat rundown town.That whole process was presented in the Pilot, which wasn't funny at all. The pilot wasn't captivating, wasn't deep nor was it entertaining, and what is to come seems fairly predictable. Many pitfalls, many life lessons, many disappointed people, but in the end of the day it all works out, and he gets to rap too.Perhaps I am not the intended audience, but also the 16 year old me would not have watched this. It is simply too flat, too 'fake' and lacks soul, lacks a whole lot of soul.

WTF DIJW This show is insulting. It feels like a paint by numbers for white people to get a feel for an 'urban setting' with none of the danger or threat of it. The characters are stereotypes from yesteryear that feel out of place and just bad to the point of pandering.Like they wanted the demographic of 20-mid 30 something millennials in America who think everything is 'lit' to be the audience for this show, and it shows. This show jumps the line between borderline incompetent to absolutely insulting with how it showcases anything.Lea Michele is just awful. She comes across as flat and lifeless to the point that you wonder how she functions in the setting they've thrown her in. The supporting cast is just lifeless and it feels like what some kid who was born and raised in upper middle class assumes how us 'lowly black folk' talk. Like we don't have common sense.Someone, somewhere, thought this was a good idea for somebody. I've seen my fair share of young African-American's trying to get into politics plagued by the identity that everyone assumes THIS is how we act. I get that the painfully written show is going to end up with - SPOILERZ The young black man suddenly realizing how serious being a mayor is after the fact and turning out to be good for his community, just like all black people should, would, and could behave in fictional poorly written fantasy SPOILERZ- But come on. No one sat down and felt like this would be a bit insulting?This feels like someone watched Atlanta, didn't understand that Donald Glover's character is meant to play the straight man to a situation in which everyone knows is a bit crazy, and all character growth is tossed out the window to get some of those cool songs that the kids all listen to. Also, just saying you shouldn't be able to get the feeling that a show is written by out of touch people who think this is how the world works or would be entertained with the first episode. Felt like the Mindy Project met Blacklish and some random Jewish writers got on board to show their interpretation of the 'streets'.

Aktham Tashtush I actually liked the idea of the show and how it all started. It looks original and the comedy type is constructive and nice, maybe not Hilarious but still enjoyable and even fast in some scenes, i can see where the events are escalating to and that makes me a bit more hopeful that it'll go well maybe even for just a couple of more seasons if they kept this steadily rising rhythm. I've just read the ratings of this premiere and they looks pretty promising.The plot is genuine and has so much potentials and could branch out to other significant sub-plots, talks about a struggling rapper who seeks popularity and apparently the "obvious" choice is why not run for Mayor, after not expecting to win he actually did and now it is his mission to keep his promises to the people to fix the town.As for the casting, i loved that Yvette Nicole Brown is here,, watched her in Community and i loved her , i know she'll be amazing here even if the role is not extended. Brandon Micheal Hall is really funny and with his two other mates they are making a good relatable type of comedic friendship. also Lea Michele is good "personally i don't like her type of acting" i saw her in "Scream Queens" and she was "Meh" but here she could polish herself into something.To conclude, it is not hilarious but is indeed enjoyable and i had that type of inside giggle on some scenes, so i think i'd watch where they're going next.
