As a Detroit native, I was terrified that this would be just another in a long line of shows that use Detroit as a backdrop to fit the narrative of a down-and-out city deserving of pity. I was as cynical as you could get until I started watching. Turns out, this show paints the people of Detroit as accurately as I've ever seen on television. The comedy is absurd, goofy, and light-hearted and Detroit needed to be shown as a somewhat absurd, goofy place that it is. Turns out, I absolutely love the show. You can definitely tell that there is an intimate familiarity with the city that can only come from growing up here. This show is as real and silly a depiction of Detroit life as you can get on TV.

This show is, hands down, the best show ever made about/set in Detroit. But even if you don't live here, it's still hilarious. If I could give it a million stars, I would.
