Nina Metz

Jul 21, 2022

All of it is portrayed with wit, exuberance and real intelligence. Sometimes deep, sometimes silly, the series is a canny depiction of the specific contours of female friendship. And in its quieter moments, it taps into that inner voice that keeps us awake at night, full of anxiety about why we’re going nowhere in life. Read full review

Rap Sh!t is unapologetic in what it is and who it’s for, and TV is better for it. Read full review

In the end, Rap Sh!t is a heartwarming show with sex, intrigue, and the perfect amount of Black-specific humor. If you're ready to laugh, shake your ass with the musical duo, and wince a bit at how much a character reminds you of your ex, do yourself a favor and tune in. Read full review

Her [Issa Rae's] stamp as a creator is growing. “Rap Sh!t” will resonate with the audience who kept asking “What’s Next?” after “Insecure” wrapped last year. Read full review

It isn’t until the season progresses and Shawna and Mia grow closer, sharing deep thoughts and shedding their online facades, that the series follows suit. Its use of Instagram filters quickly minimises, and the scope of the show broadens, making it less about rap and more about identity. Read full review

[The characters] all have more talent and charisma than they often get credit for; watching them figure out how to capitalize on that fact proves to be “Rap Sh!t”’s greatest asset. Read full review

The new HBO Max comedy Rap Sh!t does not run away from its characters’ screen dependence, but rather makes that a core part of both its substance and its style. It doesn’t always work, but it’s an interesting Insecure follow-up for creator Issa Rae and showrunner Syreeta Singleton. Read full review
