Honestly, I love it! Why would you want to watch something that is offensive as stating that white were trying to kill our children.
External Reviews She also excels in the recurring role of Dr Haddassah Olayinka, a fanatical black nationalist who states that “you have to ignore the empirical evidence that contradicts your beliefs”, because of the similarity between the words “empirical” and “empire”, and decries her sister’s “blood diamond” wedding ring. Then I followed her news satire show where she traded in the persona she had with Larry for brash, loud in-your-face black woman persona and that didn't work so well for me.
Whether a sketch is good or great, these ladies are always a lot of fun. In the US there’s been a more steady stream of successes going right back to Key and Peele in 2012. Gabrielle Dennis ably leads a particularly right-on gang initiation with perks for new mums (“just to be clear, we’re not calling it maternity leave any more because we don’t want to be complicit in enforcing a cis-normative agenda”), while Quinta Brunson is frustratingly brilliant as the hapless, insufferable Lachel, partner of the hapless, insufferable Chris (Thede), both of them incapable of following instructions, even when reading their wedding vows. There aren’t even any white extras here, flipping the usual rules of television, whereby you can watch a whole series without a single person of colour appearing. With Robin Thede, Quinta Brunson, Gabrielle Dennis, Ashley Nicole Black. I'm a West Indian woman, my husband is a white American, and we both LOVE this show.
Like any sketch show, you may not be entertained by all the skits.
Ashley Nicole Black, Quinton Brunson, Robin Thede and Gabrielle Dennis in A Black Lady Sketch Show. Thank you HBO for releasing this alongside Random Acts of Flyness. BLSS is surely on par with shows like The Chappelle show and Key & Peele. Guest stars are more of the legends category – think Patti LaBelle – rather than flavours of the month. I am not a black lady, but I laughed out loud a few times while I enjoyed the show's topical humor and fun energy. I very soon changed my mind about this show however. Plenty of cameos by famous black female actresses straight out of the gate. The church where everyone’s prayers are self-centred and vapid runs its course in 30 seconds. Ashley Nicole Black is a delight to watch as Trinity, a spy who is able to walk right into any situation because, as a dark-skinned black woman, she is rarely seen (her adversary, another black woman, evades capture by pretending to be a cleaner). Then came this show and I faithfully watched the first tree episodes and while there are some clever moments, they are too few and far between. Audience Reviews for A Black Lady Sketch Show: Season 1.
I absolutely adore this show. Awards That’s going to change when HBO’s “A Black Lady Sketch Show” premieres Friday.
The friends trapped together at the end of the world – featuring caricatured portrayals of the members of the cast who play them – sometimes fall flat, and a debate about disgraced celebrities such as R Kelly and Harvey Weinstein quickly trails off before it can reach its full potential. I think this show is witty, clever, hilarious and well done.
All the actors were awesome. Get it together already will ya?! I love sketch comedy.
In the US there’s been a more steady stream of successes going right back to Key and Peele in 2012. What a disappointment.
There is not one character I hate. HBO was a titan of comedy, drama and sports.
I keep watching hoping it gets better but it isnt, it just isnt. Tonight I looked up the imdb page and saw that the show's popularity is taking a steep dive and I was not surprised at all. The likes of Tim Robinson’s cornucopia of weirdness, I Think You Should Leave, Arturo Castro’s Alternatino and HBO’s A Black Lady Sketch Show, now airing on Sky Comedy, have followed, showing that there’s more to skits than just SNL. The series counts the likes of Insecure creator Issa Rae and Orange Is the New Black’s Laverne Cox among its exec producers, and boasts a strong core cast. Then HOW do you justify an audience of 500 viewers warranting an auto renew before finished airing? A Black Lady Sketch Show review – bite-size comedy as you've never seen it before 4 / 5 stars 4 out of 5 stars. The slogan of this show should be: You better laugh. The sketches are weak with no structure, weak jokes. There aren’t even any white extras here, flipping the usual rules of television, whereby you can watch a whole series without a single person of colour appearing. Really unfunny but just laugh or you're gonna lose everything, A Sketch Comedy for Black Women Millenials, They are every woman!
I started watching it because I try to support women in comedy and I loved that the writing team is all black, but we stayed for the jokes. Natasha Rothwell (Insecure) pops up in a scene where a young girl’s attempts to avoid being hit with a belt are turned into a Gladiators-style gameshow. 7 responses to “TV Review: ‘A Black Lady Sketch Show’” Jake says: August 1, 2019 at 9:55 pm Sounds fucking terrible. Kudos. I've seen every episode of this show and I pulled a muscle laughing so hard (true story). This is a show that's written to speak to black female millennials (23-38 in 2019). I am looking forward to next week's episode. Its just as good as Key and Peele and the Tracey Ullman show, two of my favorites. My kind of humor. | I decided to give it another try since sometimes pilots aren't a good representation of a show as a whole. So boring, dull, unfunny. LEFTIST HATS! Some sketches like any other sketch comedies can have some hits and misses. Bring back the Boppers!! Fast-forward a mere six years, however, and sketch comedy has begun to tiptoe back into the TV landscape, influenced by the pace of short-form online comedy, where the typical TikTok makes The Fast Show look glacial by comparison. I love seeing black women on screen and definitely want to see more, BUT there are far more talented black female writers than Robin Theade, who like Spike Lee, must cast herself in every episode. I have watched enough episodes to conclude that this show is a tragedy. They've completely sold out to the hyper emotional left. I specifically made an account to leave a review, as most of the negative review are likely from viewers who have no connection or understanding of the black community and the running jokes within. Parents need to know that A Black Lady Sketch Show is a comedy show starring and created by an all-female, all-black group of comics that focuses on the humor of living as a black woman. Was surprised to see the mixed audience score. I somehow found ABLSS on Instagram TV and I ended up watching every bit of content that was available. Thede is simply not funny or innovative. As with all sketch shows, some things don’t hit the target. So declared a 2014 Guardian article, which focused on the demise of bite-size comedy shows, noting that they had been “largely replaced by the topical news panel show – a rigidly formatted, aggressively male, preserve that provided instant gratification for a relatively small outlay”. The cast are all spot on with their character portrayals & the whole show is knowing & self aware. Even my 14 year old daughter loves it. The likes of Tim Robinson’s cornucopia of weirdness, I Think You Should Leave, Arturo Castro’s Alternatino and HBO’s A Black Lady Sketch Show, now airing on Sky Comedy, have followed, showing that there’s more to skits than just SNL. I like the actresses in other projects and you would think this show would be good given how funny they can all be but there is a lot left to be desired. The sketches are so original. More of this and fewer talking heads laughing at their own jokes, and the world of comedy – and the world in general – would be a better, funnier place.
