Follows the life of stand up comedian Jerrod Carmichael as he navigates through life with his therapist in-training girlfriend and his heavily opinionated family.
Carmichael is fearless in his material (the writing on the show is shared with co-creator Nicholas Stoller and others) and loves to cast a skeptical eye on conventional wisdom.
The Carmichael Show is inarguably funny, but it also takes a big chance by going political with much of its content... It's a bold line to walk, especially for a traditional sitcom, but could be the key that keeps people watching.
One hesitates to criticize the in-your-face comedy of the new sitcom The Carmichael Show when NBC has graciously scheduled it so that the smallest possible audience will watch it. Still, the show is mediocre.
