Netflix’s ‘The Vince Staples Show’ Feels Incomplete, Despite Some Brilliant Bits: TV Review
With a tone that mirrors FX's "Atlanta," there are some fun bits in "The Vince Staples" show, but the series doesn't work as a whole.
Viewers watch him trying to get a small business loan, taking his girlfriend Deja’s (Andrea Ellsworth) little brother and friends to a theme park and speaking to a class of middle school students at his alma mater. Eight years after the debut of Donald Glover’s “Atlanta,” audiences are more acquainted with the random meandering and super stylization of series like “The Vince Staples Show.” To move the needle and stand out, TV shows taking this approach must do something different than what has been seen previously. While this series has some memorable characters, fun guest stars and gut-busting lines of dialogue, it lacks the ingenuity and grit needed to hold a present-day television audience’s attention until the end.
