Rel

I tried watching episode 7 of season 1. Less than 15 minutes in, I switched channels to an old blackish episode. First things first, the laugh track was annoying. Super annoying. And this track is placed after every sentence. It's bad. Real bad. Sinbad is literally the only saving grace. I tried. I really did but this is awful. No disrespect but some people are just better as supporting characters/actors. This show will definitely fall into the abyss of shows like Homeboys from Outer Space.

The show isn't as good as Carmichael because of the writing, casting, and cheesy concept. If the show is based on Rel losing his family to his barber, the barber should be his nemesis. You can't turn a life event into the main premise of the show and then never use it again.

The show doesn't use a laugh track; the sound editors are just bad at finding ways to blend the laughter. (I've attended a taping of "Carmichael" and they told us that we'd be used like a laugh track and have our laughs rearranged for continuity.)

Rel should've waited and developed this concept. You can't have your own show 1 year after Carmichael. You need time to pitch something worth watching. I feel like the target audience for this show is SJWs and yuppies who want to "learn more about diversity". That's not how it works.

Let Sinbad loose!!! He's too contained!!!He's waaayyyy funnier than this.....

Completely disappointed! Within the first 5 minutes, I knew it would be a waste of my time. I continued to watch because of Sinbad- He's an amazing talent who doesn't get the recognition he deserves. Get rid of the laugh track(the jokes aren't funny), hire new writers and base the show on Sinbad. Maybe have him open up a community center for at risk youth in his old neighborhood. Anything is better than what I watched.

Seriously? 3 words out of his mouth and the canned laugh track made it less funny.
