ScoobyWell Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

padir2525 This show is hilarious. It has an amazing cast who work great together. The greatest thing I find about this show is I haven't seen anything like it in my day & age. Good 'ol' fashion american humor. Back in the day shows used to be wholesome and at the end they would always have a decent message to convey to the audience about how we could make ourselves better through their experiences. The Carmichael show is phonemonel at doing this through sensitive topics about Politics, Race, Gun control and all kinds of issues that we americans face in our society. The best thing about it is their ability to do this with taking us on a great adventure through this all-american family. NBC recently cancelled this hidden gem. Which absolutely pisses me off. We need more shows like The Carmichael Show on our airwaves. I am going to start a petition to get The Carmichael Show back on air as soon as possible.

Hunter Vogt While not every episode of The Carmichael Show's first season was good, all the episodes had good funny moments, and many of them discussed some very real issues. It is far from a perfect show, but if it becomes able to consistently present good episodes that explore serious issues I will be very pleased. While some characters are more entertaining than the others, specifically Jerrod's parents Cynthia and Joe, all have their good moments. From the first season, the forth episode, "Gender", was mediocre, and the second episode, "Protest", was alright, but episode six "Guns" was pretty good, the pilot episode was good, and episodes three and five, "Kale" and "Prayer", were really good. If you want to try out The Carmichael Show, I would start with either "Kale" or "Prayer", and if you like those, watch "Guns", as the order of the episodes does not really matter, and the episodes "Gender", "Protest", and "Guns" are the more strongly issue focused ones. If you like shows that are funny, but also talk about issues that are real, such as protesting, gender identity, and gun control, from a fairly unbiased perspective, then The Carmichael Show is one that you would enjoy.

johnnywalker-46854 Watching this show with a LIVE audience, and people truly laughing at it, is amazing in todays TV. The show itself is hilarious, but definitely unpredictable. You can't predict how the characters will react in a given situation, and they have real life views that reflect todays world. You have to value a show that isn't afraid to be funny while talking about not-so-funny world issues. No spoilers, but the pilot was the funniest show I had seen in years. The season episodes are just as funny.I know I'm jumping around, but I'll just end this review with this. The TIMING of these actors is amazing. Comedy is about timing, and they don't miss a beat.Gave it 9/10, because its the best comedy I've seen on TV in recent memory.

lorne-sal This comedy is a throwback to All in the Family and The Jeffersons. America needs this real bad now. It is needed precisely because it IS all about race in the age of Ferguson, Freddie Gray, Sandra Bland etc. It also had me in stitches as it has some of the same perspective as Boondocks, which always cracked me up as well as being deep and insightful. Like Boondocks, it highlights in an entertaining way the predominance of apathy, fear and short sighted viewpoints that stop people from getting out in the streets and confronting injustice and racism. The parents are brilliantly acted, and the disengaged Carmichael is a perfect foil to raise difficult topics. Recommending this to my politically active friends and family.
