The season finale of The Carmichael Show was as it premiered two weeks ago. The show started off strong and hilarious and ending it just the same.
In the "Prayer", the family deal with the difference of religion as Maxine isn't Christian. It drew Jerrod's mother to get them to go to church after an embarrassing night with the family Reverend.
This episode hit the mark not only comedy but also the discussion of respecting other religions. Something that's been an issue at times.
The other episode in this one hour finale, "Guns" dealt the issue of having a gun. When Maxine found a gun in the sock drawer, she doesn't like it one bit and takes it back to Jerrod's dad.
Jerrod come to realize that having a gun gives power to the person. This is after he accidentally shot his dad in the foot.
Each episode had both told excellent stories but also gave a great discussion the these issues. I certainly enjoyed watching this series. It's not only funny but smart and very well done.
This series deserves a second season. If I had to a choice between Mr. Robinson and The Carmichael Show, I would take Carmichael. Even though I do think that Mr. Robinson could use some re-tweaking.
Overall, I give "Prayer" a 9/10 and "Guns" a 10/10.
You can catch episodes of The Carmichael Show or NBC.com.
