South Side

Very funny show and Chandra Russell absolutely makes this show what it is. But it seems to be losing its way in season 2. I'm only on season 2 episode 5 so hopefully it gets back on track.

This is far and away the funniest newer comedy I've seen. One of the best ensembles As well; every character is funny. It's rare that a show catches me during the first episode but this is one of them. Great Chicago references sprinkled in as well.

Some of these reviews are weird! Anyway, the show is frickin hilarious with it's randomness! The cast works like a charm and you could have sold me for a nickel that the two cops are married in real life! You don't have to follow the story line. Love seeing LaRoyce I his role due to his main roll in Chicago P. D. plus he's nice to look at. Definitely recommend it as something to enjoy entertainment wise and not attempt to make political or comment on how it's not political bc seriously politics is not a personality trait just as much as disliking politics isn't, just take it for what it is....

I live on the South Side, and I like everything about this show. I think it is very Chi -- the most Chi-town show on t.v. The locations are familiar. The characters are authentic. The perspectives of the characters are very real. In the episode about the popcorn game, which is truly so serious in Chicago, they even set the chase scenes to House music. The humor is very silly, which does not suit some people's taste, but the whole show is just too fresh to be corny. I love it, wish it came on every night.

Based only on the first episode, this is a very funny new show from Comedy Central. The pace and editing means that the jokes come at you fast with basically no time to catch your breath. The first episode does a lot of leg work establishing the characters and the world and it does a great job doing so. For people who have watched Reno 911! and Workaholics, South Side will definitely feel familiar in a general sense, but also fresh and new because of how underrepresented Black creators are. There are times where you can feel how the actors are improvising and playing off each other, which is very reminiscent of the other shows I mentioned and it's something I personally love. I love comedies that feel just a bit unpolished.

This show is good. It's fast paced, the characters are great, the world is interesting and it's very funny. I'm definitely tuning in again.
