Inspired by his real life, comic Marlon Wayans finds comedy in the stories about friends and fatherhood. He balances his successful career as an internet superstar with his life co-parenting two kids alongside his smart and sassy ex-wife, Ashley. Whether it's hanging with his friends, navigating the adventures of adulthood with his ex or being with his kids as they face the highs and lows of growing up, things never go quite as expected with Marlon around. His unconventional advice and over-the-top personality may not always make things easy, but it's hard not to love him just the way he is.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Marlon Wayans is an engaging comedian and performer, but his energetic brand of mischievous humor is ill-served by the conventionality of this square sitcom.

As impressive as Wayans' skillset is, Marlon is too much Marlon. Go to Full Review Gail Pennington St. Louis Post-Dispatch 08/16/2017
2/4
The strongest impression left by the two-episode premiere is that Wayans' stand-up act is probably hilarious, and that he shouldn't be wasting his time in this loud, broad sitcom. Go to Full Review Robert Rorke New York Post 08/14/2017
2/4
The comedy doesn't take off as it might have were it not trying too hard to be a family comedy. Go to Full Review Sesali Bowen Refinery29 09/25/2017
For all of it's modern touches, Marlon is entertaining in the same way that some of my favorite sitcoms of the '90s were. Go to Full Review Ed Bark Uncle Barky 08/16/2017

It over-blows everything in service to a star who doesn't know how or when to stop. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 08/15/2017
3/5
Ultimately, Marlon will appeal to Wayans' fans, but folks looking for a unique comedy won't find it here. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

inta k @intuciic 01/09/2021 quite fun and watchable See more 08/26/2019 I love the show on how its about family, struggles, and comedy. See more 07/28/2019 For a "divorced" couple they're too involved in each other's lives outside of the care and well being of the kids marlon is trying to hard to be funny at the same time stepping further away from the plot line. It has its funny moments but at the same time they're divorced they need to display the realness of divorce in home See more 11/21/2018 Some moments are quite enjoyable and the concept of the show is good but I feel like a show that literally uses the word "black" as a punchline doesn't serve comedic justice, just a little too on the nose there. See more 08/24/2018 A modern take on one of the besf 90s show my wife and kids, marlon has slot of charm and laugh out loud moments. See more 08/14/2018 Love it. Great light humour See more Read all reviews
