Just finished watching the entire season of White Famous (Showtime).
There have been moments where it has kind of spun me on my
head, and I’ve thought, is this ok? Is this fucked up? Is this biased, bigoted, prejudiced, wrong?
But an answer has never come to me. All I know is, it is really, really
funny. And, honestly, so cute.
And, in the end, with the first season now complete, of this story of a rising black comic trying to make it big in Hollywood, it is
the friendship between Floyd (the comic) and Balls (his best friend), the relationship between Sadie (Floyd's baby mama) and
Floyd, their dedication to their son, the insanity and warmth of Teddy (a supposed genius, but deranged white director), the loyalty, perversion and sweetness of Malcom (Floyd's Indian agent), Jamie Foxx as himself making huge fun of
himself, and the continued bashing of the white privileged of Hollywood
(whether it’s spot on, or a wildly grotesque comic strip – I have no idea) that
makes this show so amazing.
It is hysterical. If
this is your kind of thing, you’ll love it.
If it’s not…I don’t know what to say…I’m sorry.
