TV Review: Netflix’s #blackAF Has a Lot In Common With Kanye West

来自艾美奖提名的黑人创作者肯尼亚·巴里斯(Kenya Barris)来了#blackaf。#Blackaf在育儿,人际关系,种族和文化方面的无情,高度有缺陷,令人难以置信的诚实态度的启发下,#Blackaf将剧本翻转为我们所期望的家庭喜剧系列。#Blackaf向后拉开窗帘,发现了一个凌乱,没有过滤且经常有趣的世界,即成为一个“新钱”黑人家庭,试图在“正确”的现代世界中正确地将其正确地成为固定的概念。Netflix原创系列饰演Barris是他自己的虚构版本,Rashida Jones(Angie Tribeca)是他的妻子Joya。Kenya and Joya’s children are played by Genneya Walton (Xtant), Iman Benson (Suits), Scarlet Spencer (Bright), Justin Claiborne (Reverie), Ravi Cabot-Conyers (The Resident) and Richard Gardenhire Jr. #blackAF is executive produced by Barris, Jones, and Hale Rothstein.

好:

演出的绝对最佳亮点必须是拉希达·琼斯(Rashida Jones)(戏剧“ Joya”)。她有一些最有趣的时刻,并且可能是她的交付最稳定的时刻。我喜欢她的表演的是她如何能够从幽默的情况下无缝过渡到更真诚和戏剧性的情况。除琼斯外,支持演员和来宾功能也是一些不错的积极因素。亚搏电子电竞官方网站我认为扮演孩子的年轻演员在各自的角色中都做得很合适。尽管没有足够的精选,但我认为“作家的房间”也是表演表演的好部分。他们的戏ter和每天的谈话都很有趣。

In true Kenya Barris fashion, each episode does share a moment of enlightenment or edification of an experience or phenomenon that impacts African American culture in some way. His exploration of various topics such as the “white gaze” or perception of black fathers in America is certainly insightful and candid in its nature. In addition to that, the show also explores common family dynamics and issues that are relatable to almost everyone in some capacity. I thought one of the strongest episodes were the final three which followed the marital and sibling relationships. This was definitely when the show was at its strongest because it felt the most authentic. More of that would certainly be welcomed if another season is green-lit.

The Bad:

我认为#BLACKAF的更大问题是一般结构。它需要一段时间才能振作起来,当只有8集开始时,这并不是一个好兆头。前两集感觉有些脱节,并有点拖延(尤其是关于肯尼亚的金链)。如果将情节缩短到只有15-20分钟的细分市场,可能会更好地为节目提供演出。这样,主题或主题可能会更加集中在其演示上,并且对于观众而言易于消化。例如,您将有一集开始是一件事,将似乎是切向绕道的事物绕开另一个主题,最终(或随机)回到试图绑定一开始开始的结局的结局。公平地说,#Blackaf是通过纪录片制作的镜头描绘的。因此,在纸面上确实有意义。但是,我仍然认为这对于观众来说是一种舒适的方式。

另一个问题是整个演出中的幽默流程。感觉好像不知道它想要努力的喜剧类型。有时,喜剧是干燥的,这本身并不是问题。那种古怪,机智,干燥的幽默感觉更像是对演出和演员的自然契合度。当家人开始发生更多古怪的事情时,这种喜剧风格就会受到干扰。那时,您几乎很快就被踢出了心态或暗示,这是家庭的文档/模拟,实际上只是电视节目。除此之外,我认为一些“富裕”的笑话不太好。他们觉得自己在笑话中,这对其他有钱人来说会很有趣。

The Verdict:

For any lovers of Hip-Hop music, the best way I could describe #blackAF is how it travels a path similar to the career of Kanye West. When Kanye came out with his music albums, he was bringing a fresh and new sound to Hip-Hop, blended with classic songs of the past. Barris did the same with his series that seemed to breathe new, unapologetically black life into sitcom television. Both Kanye and Kenya stood apart from the rest because of their honesty and transparency into their lives and issues. Those traits and qualities made both creators extremely relatable.

我要说的是,如果我不得不将坎耶的专辑与坎耶(Kanye)的前三张专辑(迄今为止他最好的……战斗我)进行比较,相当于黑色,混合味和种植。(简而言之)我觉得#Blackaf就像Kanye的808和Heartbreak版本。这是朝着不同方向的动作,但可能会遇到混合反应。

In the earlier albums, Kanye would rap about his general insecurities and struggles growing up. Then as Kanye progressed, he would start rapping about all his money and talking about his issues with being accepted by other rich people. Barris had a similar path here too with “BMG” where those shows were very relatable on almost every level. However, in #blackAF, Kenya’s issues escalate to being the “New [Black] Rich” and that’s the point where I think he may start to lose people. As a black man, father, husband, and film critic I truly do relate and hear much of the things that he tries to convey in the show. Although, the more he name drops fashion designer clothes (that most people can’t afford) and other issues in his new affluent lifestyle, it becomes much harder to connect with his character and the show over all.

As Barris probably would admit himself, #blackAFis a rehash of some of the other successful sitcoms all crammed into eight episodes. It’s like the black version of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” in a nutshell. Those similarities make it incredibly difficult to separate #b拉克夫from the other shows. The biggest differences in this series is that there’s more profanity and it flexes its “celebrity guest muscle” when possible. The other difference is the mockumentary style structure which has its moments. Given the shortness of the series being only 8 episodes, I’d say it’s still worth checking out for audiences. It won’t feel like a major commitment or burden to get through, and it certainly can be something to watch in doses per day. (Binging isn’t necessary). I’d recommend #blackAF是在Netflix流,但vitally important that you temper your expectations. Barris has set a high bar with “BMG”, and one shouldn’t expect for #blackAF达到相似的水平。
