Netflix subscribers are buzzing about a new comedy series, “She The People,” which premiered on May 22. This 16-part show follows the journey of Antoinette Dunkerson, portrayed by Terri J. Vaughn, as she navigates the demands of being Mississippi’s first black lieutenant governor while managing her eccentric family and a traditional boss resistant to change.
Fans have taken to social media to express their love for the series, declaring it hilarious and begging for a second season despite only the first eight episodes being released so far, with the remainder set to air over the summer. Comments such as “She The People is hilarious” and “super funny and very entertaining!” highlight the positive reception from viewers.
While the enthusiasm is palpable among many fans, some have criticized the show for its “cringe moments.” One viewer remarked that they found parts of the show cringey despite enjoying it overall, reflecting a mixed bag of opinions.
In addition to “She The People,” Netflix recently launched “The Four Seasons,” a comedy series created by Tina Fey, which received enthusiastic praise as well. This show, inspired by the 1981 romcom of the same name, has also contributed to the current wave of new comedic content beloved by viewers.
The positive feedback surrounding “She The People” showcases the potential for innovative storytelling in comedy, especially with its focus on relatable political and familial challenges. As the series continues to unfold with upcoming episodes, anticipation remains high among fans eager to see how Antoinette’s story progresses.
