Review of Pilot

Chad: Pilot (2021)
Season 1, Episode 1
3/10
Overwhelmed!
10 January 2022
This review is based on two episodes I just noticed about this show from Jimmy Kimmel Live show. Nasim Pedrad is originally Iranian and so do I checked her parts in SNL. And they were great. So I assumed I am this show is for me. And you know I like to support hommies :D

I had no idea what type of show it is. Is it something like Malcom in the middle but with some immigrant parent flavor or something else?! Anyway, I said I had to watch it.

However, I cannot bear this show. The main character is very annoying, cringe and awkward in so many levels that I cannot continue watching it.

Being cringe and awkward is not inherently bad. "Dumb and dumber" and "Borat" are based on awkward and cringe comedy but the movies work. But Chad has nothing to attract! He's not funny. He's rude. He's behaving beyond any border. He does literally anything to make me mad! Is it intentional to make me dislike Chad for each aspect of a character?! The problem with Chad's character is that he is not dumb. If the show introduced him as a dumb character then I would at least somehow digest the struggle of this character! It could be even funny like Dumb and dumber movie. Being an immigrant kid also does not make you unlikable for each measure and aspects of the universe!

I prefer to watcha sitcom about the uncle, the mother and the mother's boyfriend.

I gave it 3 to support the diversity aspect of the series but honestly, I did not enjoy this TV show and the main character is so off that I cannot spend much more time watching this TV show.
