This is really good. Snappy writing, funny, and convincing characters. The title refers to the main character's chances of 'crossing over' to universal appeal, and his struggles along the way. It's also a good commentary on how things work in Hollywood, particularly the clumsy way white people behave in front of black people. I hope we see a second season, there's lots more to explore.

Have watched waaaaay too much porn. That's all I'm saying about that.

I'm shocked how many people hate or don't love it. But it simply seems that these people are into mainstream comedy or trying to compare the series with something completely different. I won't start hating back on these people, I can only feel regrets for them.Of course this is not Atlanta but why should it be? The approach is different and it is simply refreshing to have something like that beside all that crappy television. I also loved that this the series is obviously in the same universe as "Californication". And what could possibly be wrong with this.Of course there is potential for improvement, but isn't this always the case, especially in a first season? The cast alone is worth watching it.
I really hope that the ratings won't kill the show. If so, at least we have a very funny 10 episodes comedy to watch again in a few years.

White Famous cheapens itself with cheap laugh lines and poorly written jokes. And it proudly sells out: There is a parade of celebrity cameos, and a parade of nameless females introduced butt-first.White Famous wants to cast Jamie Foxx as a north star of stardom for young Floyd (Jay Pharoah). But his presence makes the whole show feel ego-strokish. Actually, everything here feels ego-strokish. Both episodes I've seen turn on the same essential plot point, Faced with the possibility of making a difficult decision to achieve success, the young star refuses to make the decision, and then achieves success anyway.After two episodes I am done. I gave it a chance, but Jay Pharoah as the lead is too unlikable to follow and the constant infusion of celebrities just feels like pandering.
