Review of #BlackAF

#BlackAF (2020)
6/10
In desperate need of an editor
2 June 2020
I realise this is not for me, I'm not black or American and it's all about that culture and experience. But there are plenty of universally funny moments in this show. The problem is that all the episodes are too long. I've seen it compared to Curb a number of times but one of the strengths of Curb was the perfect editing. This show is so loose and rambling. If you're going to do improv comedy you have to be BRUTAL with your cutting or you're going to end up with a flabby mess. There are some episodes of this show that are 45 minutes long! I mean, what?! It's self-indulgent. Shame because the material is there.
