Wyatt Cenac's Problem Areas

"So what is this show," I wondered when I saw a brief mention of it in a "coming up on HBO" ad. According to Splitsider:

Quote

HBO has ordered 10 episodes of the series, which takes “a satirical look at social and cultural issues from Cenac’s unique perspective. Rather than sit behind a desk, he will undertake a journey to understand some of the big issues of the moment and investigate real-world solutions.” 

It sounds a little bit like W. Kamau Bell's "United Shades of America" from that description? Or the new Sarah Silverman show (which I will admit I haven't seen because I don't have Hulu).

This was different, and I really liked it. The change in the style/format is really good, and I think it brings a new perspective that we need - all the 'talking heads as usual' are exhausting, even though I love them all. Tell the story a different way, and maybe a few more people will start to get it.

This is why I’m hoping J Stew comes back but in a different format.

He lost me with his opening bit about private space exploration.  Though I do understand the anxiety of the future being planned while excluding large numbers of people, I just didn’t find his argument compelling or even coherent.

Maybe five the show more than one segment to figure out if you stick with it?

This makes me irrationally happy today.
