    I tried searching but couldn't find a thread or any discussion. Anyone watch?

    Season 1 was on Comedy Central and Season 2 was released on HBO Max. I got turned onto the show by a Best Of list from the New Yorker. I disliked the pilot but was hooked by episode 2 and i'm partway through season 2 now.

    From a month ago:

    A Fun-House Portrait of Black Life on “South Side”

    This hilarious, oddly literary satire, now in its second season on HBO Max, brings the bite of Norman Lear to outlandish reflections on American inequality.

    I’m a few episodes into season 2 and I agree that it’s very good. Didn’t watch it on Comedy Central but binged the first season on HBO max over a weekend.

    Hey Bixby...Call Itty Bitty Kitty Committee.

    ...It's ironic because my wife has an ample bosom.
