I watched the New Normal and I have to say, it wasn't cute.
The show plays on unnecessary stereotypes and borrowed zingers from Modern Family. But, to get the meat of this post, I will give my review.
- Bryan and David are the perfect White, gay, rich, LA stereotype.
- Some the lines tried too hard to be funny.
- Bryan and David play to the basic belief of top and bottom.
- Jane (the Grandmother) felt forced as a character. You could almost predict her lines in every scene.
- Nene Leaks plays the SBC, the Sassy Black Chick... Go figure.
- The show is very White.
- The true star of the show is Goldie. In fact, if they took out the gays and made the show about Goldie getting her life together, it would be more entertaining.
- Not convinced this show can actually go beyond 3 seasons.
- The show also pushes the notion that getting a child is as easy as buying a car.
- The gay characters are not interesting, but again, Goldie is.
- Hopefully, Bryan and David grow as characters because if they don't the show is doomed.
