'Abbott Elementary' guest star and rapper Vince Staples gets a five-episode showcase in the 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' semi-autobiographical vein.
, which we can pretty much only discuss in this context, was good immediately, but it didn’t hit its full stride until the second season. After a few spotty episodes of dick jokes, FXX’sDamon Wayans Jr. Thinks Sex Scenes in Movies Should be More Realistic: "It's Wack a Lot of the Time"isn’t the exception that proves the rule.
You might know Vince Staples as an actor. He played Maurice, a short-term love interest for Quinta Brunson’s character on, which presents the idea of Vince Staples as a reasonably successful entertainment personality who some people adore and other people have never heard of.
For me, the bank robbery episode was the only one in which the plot, the strangeness and the social satire came together as a whole. It’s an episode that comments on the entrenched racism in our financial institutions, that cheats viewer expectations at several points and delivers a shocking, funny punchline.
It’s a hit-and-miss ratio that isn’t at all unusual for a show still finding itself. But if this is all there ends up being, it’s less gratifying and less hopeful.that didn’t have something that impressed me. It’s a generally cinematic-looking series, thanks to directors including William Stefan Smith and Ben Younger, making good use of its Long Beach locations, which are simultaneously run-down and pregnant with ominous possibility.
Given this chance to conceive a series around what he perceives as his acting strengths, Staples is mostly stuck within comfortable limitations. There are times, especially in that first episode, in which I felt that he was leaning too much into being reactive, but that’s a choice he’s made and not a flaw of performance.
