This would work really great on Tubi as original programming. No one should have to pay for this. It's interesting because it really captures the look and feel of Detroit; it has that aesthetic. But then so does BMF, and that is actually a good show.
This is more of a dark comedy. At times it is just ignorant, but it turns a corner every time you think it's going to devolve into straight up buffoonery. So it has potential, but as with everything Kenya Barris, it leaves much to be desired. So the best it can be is like a Detroit "Blackish", which is sad because it's actually more entertaining than that show in a very weird, eccentric way.
It isn't laugh out loud funny, so don't expect that. But is a comedy for bringing light to what otherwise would be a rather dark drama set in Detroit. I know Detroit, Detroit, Detroit, blah blah blah. But that's really its most redeeming characteristic.
