This show is exactly what I thought it would be. He still makes a good 10 second joke 30 to 40 seconds too long and goes all the way over the top with the physical comedy for a laugh.

His show debuted at the absolute worst time IMO. Over the past 3 years, we've had shows like Atlanta, Insecure, Survivor's Remorse, Black-ish and The Carmichael Show putting on for the culture in unique and very dope ways. Each of these shows have contributed to a black TV renaissance of sorts and now here Marlon comes with this super average show. So far, there's no real cleverness or nuance to it at all.

I'll keep watching until it fizzles out simply because it's the summer, but it's gonna have to get much better to keep my attention any longer.

Facts, easily his best role for real. Though I hear he is gonna do that Richard Pryor film that Marlon was up for ironically, we will see how Epps does with that one.


Man I can tell he's taking it seriously but he looks just like the undercover character in the opening scene of White Chicks.

Lmao exactly fam. He didn't get it cause he just ain't fit the part. Mike Epps is getting it cause apparently Richard Pryor wanted Epps to play him.

yeah just told the homie @Motife43 Marlon basically doing stand up routines in every scene.....completely overshadowing everyone else....he told all these jokes in recent interviews I've seen with him...

He doesn't have anyone like Shawn to balance him out, slap him in the head and say "shut up stupid" like on the Wayans Bros.

This won't last past 1 season

Marlon won't thrive until he shave his head (he holding on to that shyt) and rock the baldy like Damon and Keenan
