I really enjoyed Robin T when she was on Larry Wilmore's show on C. Central. Then I followed her news satire show where she traded in the persona she had with Larry for brash, loud in-your-face black woman persona and that didn't work so well for me. It just comes across as trying way too hard rather than letting the humor do the work. Then came this show and I faithfully watched the first tree episodes and while there are some clever moments, they are too few and far between. To my utter dismay, Robin turned up the 'let's try too hard' knob. Tonight I looked up the imdb page and saw that the show's popularity is taking a steep dive and I was not surprised at all. I also decided to chime in after reading 3 user reviews, one hyper favorable and the other two in a similar vein to mine. The premise sounds so good, I would love to see the shows work and excite me to come back week upon week to see what's what, but some re-thinking needs to happen, and too much Robin T dominating the sketches. if she's gonna stick with that persona, fine, but we need smaller doses. But I think she capable of doing more, much more than persona that has mostly juvenile appeal. Maybe bring on some more writing talent?
