Jerrod and his therapist-in-training girlfriend, Maxine, are intelligent, ambitious and ready to take the next step to building a fulfilling life by moving in together. The one thing holding them back is Jerrod's loveable but spirited family. At home he has a brother, Bobby, who has a big personality which he uses in his endless string of hustles, his obstinate father, Joe, and his Jesus-praising mother, Cynthia. Together, the three of them test Jerrod and Maxine as they learn about romance, family and trying to stay sane.

Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter 05/31/2017
Carmichael and his creative team are very consciously attempting to raise the ante on what they've done before. I respect that ambition even if the writers are surely leaving some easier laughs on the table in an effort to expand boundaries. Go to Full Review

Few sitcoms are built to handle the kind of provocative content that The Carmichael Show embraces as its reason for being... Carmichael not only keeps the jokes flying the whole time, but makes them better when it's at its most Very Special. Go to Full Review

A-
In the end, The Carmichael Show is a rare sitcom that isn't afraid to call out its characters when they start acting like sitcom characters. And it makes for quite the conversation starter. Go to Full Review

8/10
The show has settled into a comfortable rhythm at this point in its life cycle. The strengths of the show are they way it can open up discussions about tricky or touchy subjects. Go to Full Review

Surprise: the show that likes to think of itself as topical presents almost exactly the same wrongheaded script in which rape is the topic for the jokes. Go to Full Review
