Marlon Wayne (Marlon Wayans) is an internet influencer and pitchman. He is divorced from his wife Ashley but finds himself spending more time with her and their 2 young kids at their suburban home. He often clashes with her best friend Yvette. His slacker friend Stevie is crashing at his large apartment.
Marlon is the clown and the fool of the show. He would be much better as the wacky best friend. As the leading man, he gets annoying real fast. The laugh track does not help especially when there are no laughs to be had. The wife is being the wife. Yvette is the standard sassy black girl. Stevie is a charisma sinkhole. I actually like the kids very much. This is an old style sitcom with Marlon going crazy trying to inject life into the formula. Apparently, there is no work place and therefore, the action takes place mostly in the two homes. Other network sitcoms with minority casts are doing better work. This one fails even as a traditional sitcom. I am surprised by the second season renewal and I hope for a quick end.
