I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed this show. I've rewatched this season at least three times. Jay Pharoh does a great job of portraying a successful comic breaking into the world of cinema. I hate seeing reviews of people saying these characters don't reflect real life, but if you've spent anytime around the industry you'd understand they don't live in the real world most of the time. I think it reflects the antics and self-righteous of the Hollywood "elite" of 15 years ago. I know the world of white famous is set in today's times, but since it is based of Jamie Fox's experience with burgeoning fame, I feel the story comes from a place a decade ago. Maybe with everyone's feelings becoming paper thin. This show just breaks their shallow sense of self. Bring back White Famous. It had just turned the corner.

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.

I first came to this show because I loved Jay Pharoa since SNL ,he was funny in every sketch.. I was disappointed in White famous; which is a comedy without being funny, a commentary on being black in show business without being close to the real thing and having any message whatsoever about it... It's shallow, from another era, quite distasteful and opposite to every great show that tackles the topic of racism (like Insecure even if it has some flaws). The characters are underwhelming, no thought was given to the dialogues and script, no one is interesting except for Balls who is the only person who has insight and actually says reasonable things. The rest aren't even worth writing about... except for the actor who portraits Robbie the English man: how in the hell is Moony still considered the attractive one? Frankly I still watch the show just so I can see Robbie again..I guess I'm just as shallow as the average viewer of this mess. (NB For the ones who would believe I'm white because I didn't like this show I'm not, I'm what Americans call mixed).

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.
