anybody see it?

Just knocked it out and really really fukked with it. Gonna get compared to Atlanta a lot but this felt way more authentic. Especially with some of it tying into his past interviews or songs. Or the stylistic choices like cutting the dialogue when Vince's homie seemingly talks about robbing somebody for him or even how differently it portrays a day in jail. The Atlanta episode is famous for the gay nikka scene and him tripping and the reflection on mental health but I think the way they handled this is tackling the mental health aspect from a totally different perspective - instead of it being hyperreal and absorbing so much more than everyone else, Vince is just numb as fukk and plays it off.

Really great 5 episodes imo

Saw the first two episodes and they’re very funny. It’ll easily get compared to Atlanta simply cause of no laugh track and some dead-pan comedy.

Atlanta and Dave hit the ground running from the first episode

This shyt is corny…Blackish vibes for New Blacks, Cacs, and c00ns.

This the opposite of Insecure and Atlanta

I watched the first two episodes and was thoroughly entertained. A lot of little subtle elements I found funny as opposed to some forced joke, laugh track BS
