""The show bursts with energy, from Major Hammy's charismatic Will to Mudd's neurotic Carlton. The lip-syncs, the over-the-top physical comedy, and the perfectly timed '90s references make it feel like stepping into a time machine.""
""It was important to me to not only introduce a new show that was deeply nostalgic for me, but a show that featured Black performers.""
""The thing about TV shows is they're so 'of a time,' and sometimes the material (or the actors) age poorly. But what the show means to me is bigger than all of that.""
