The socially relevant half-hour isn’t a revolutionary development, but Jerrod Carmichael and company are continuing the proud tradition of capturing the particular rhythms of interfamily debates, pausing just long enough to let the audience reward them for their authenticity.
-
The show carries itself with a no-big-deal confidence, exploring subjects organically, as you would in a real conversation, and always rooting its one-liners in the psychology of its characters.
-
Carmichael Show is actually funnier the darker the subject matter gets.
-
These five episodes find The Carmichael Show pushing into more thematically extreme territory. I think I'd venture to say that at times big laughs take a back seat in the process of figuring out how to make even tougher subjects generally funny. Carmichael and his creative team are very consciously attempting to raise the ante on what they've done before.
-
This is a sitcom, not a public service announcement. But you can certainly argue that The Carmichael Show is doing a public service. It isn't often you can call a sitcom brave. This is one of those times.
-
Some comedies lull you to sleep; The Carmichael Show gives you a slap, pushes your head out the door and still gives you something to laugh about.
-
Uneven, but the core strength remains--a sitcom that embraces the uncomfortable, and sometimes the unmentionable.
-
In the three new episodes I’ve see, the show too often makes the laughs secondary to its progressive messaging.
