If you slept through the movie “Carl Weber’s Family Business”, wake up and watch it

I didn’t realize how much I needed to see Ernie Hudson as a drug dealer until I hit all-time low.

Regret is not the best option to discover a brand new TV series, but it helped me discover “Carl Weber Family Business“shortly after I lost my mother to cancer.

I got home, was sitting on my sister’s couch, and needed a break from crying after I turned on Netflix (the first 4 seasons can be found there, the fifth season is out there on BET+).

It became a habit that continued as I laid back down on the couch, in search of respite from my crying.

Before I’m going any further, a small disclaimer: what I’m about to write down could seem suspicious, but I swear on my love of lower rents, I actually like this BET+ series.

It is clear that Carl Weber’s Family Business is the work of playwright Carl Weber, whom I’d describe as a secular Tyler Perry who just takes notes.

And I hope Weber will take that as a compliment, which I intend to pay him. Yes, I needed to make the comparison, just as he needed to put his name in the title of the program.

The series star is Ernie Hudson, who plays LC Duncan, the patriarch and CEO of Duncan Motors, a legitimate company that serves as a front for his or her illegal activities.

First of all, he’s 78. Aging is a blessing, but when I’m that lucky, I pray I age like Ernie Hudson, not like the POTUS and the former POTUS in the color of a sweet potato. First of all, we’ve to fret about falling, second of all, he’s now babbling to the point where people must ask if his prosthetic is slipping. In the meantime, Ernie Hudson is on BET+, doing scenes in the bathtub.

What a reminder to hearken to him men’s health suggestions and eat numerous fish.

But yes, Ghostbusters’ Winston Zeddemore would play James St. Patrick Sr. if, as an alternative of pursuing politics, he sold cars on a show paying homage to Empire, where drugs are modeled on black plays and soap operas.

Featured Stories

LC Duncan’s wife is Charlotte Duncan, played by Valarie Pettiford, the mom from 50/50 who didn’t play Aunt Rachel on Family Matters.

Together they lead against the law family comprised of con artists, hit men, hackers, etc., and their members of the family, including Tami Roman, LisaRaye McCoy, Michael Jai White, and Miguel A. Núñez Jr.

I won’t give away the details, but over the course of 5 seasons the series featured guest appearances by Clifton Powell, Sheila E., Ronreco Lee, Christian Keyes, Bern Nadette Stanis, and Patrick Duffy.

The budget reflects the true state of the economy.

The show looks good, although there are scenes where you can see the background blurring to suggest a set design, and the editing is more showy than action-packed, somewhat than finding an actual park or something.

This doesn’t hassle me because at the least the wigs never look crazy.

Still, there are sometimes noticeable differences between a personality and their wardrobe.

In a recent episode of the show’s latest season, I could not help but notice that considered one of the sons of an alleged multi-millionaire — supposedly wealthy by his own alternative — was wearing the fakest Gucci knockoff I’ve seen in years.

In one other episode, considered one of the aforementioned drug dealer’s nephews, who runs a legitimate business and is a successful bounty hunter himself, wears fake Louis Vuitton sunglasses.

I like that this show works inside its budget — so long as most of it goes to paying the forged.

Bad knockoffs or not, the show managed to have LisaRaye wear a color that wasn’t white, and in the spirit of representation there is a gay guy with Smurf-colored hair who twirls around and waves a gun for the rainbow mafia. Every little bit helps. I’m serious.

As someone who watches a wide range of TV shows at work, now greater than ever I appreciate something that could make me laugh, even when it’s unconscious.

To be clear, there isn’t any such thing as a distraction from the pain you experience after losing a parent. Still, as I proceed to grieve the lack of my mother, I’ve increasingly noticed how difficult it is for me to deal with anything for an prolonged time period that doesn’t involve work—and even then, it’s a demanding task.

I devoured this show in the blink of a watch because it is a pleasant spectacle that I hope won’t ever end.

If you need to watch a funny show a couple of family that screams “The One That Meets the Trap” and you root for them, then “Carl Weber’s The Family Business” is for you, so watch it.

I assume the program doesn’t need my help because Lately announced a New Orleans-based spin-off, “Carl Weber’s The Family Business New Orleans,” starring Lela Rochon, Brandon T. Jackson, Pooch Hall, Quincy Brown, David Banner and others.

But in the age of television, you cannot take anything without any consideration, so if you have not seen Carl Weber’s The Family Business, please share it and help spread the word.

I even have to seek out joy wherever I can, which is why I need this show to last eternally.
