The Carmichael Show - Season 3
Season 3 kicked off with a double shot of controversial topics, tackling rape and consent in the season opener, 'Yes Means Yes,' and going no holds barred on America's sometimes hypocritical enthusiasm for the military in 'Support the Troops.'

Surprise: the show that likes to think of itself as topical presents almost exactly the same wrongheaded script in which rape is the topic for the jokes.May 31, 2017
Few sitcoms are built to handle the kind of provocative content that The Carmichael Show embraces as its reason for being... Carmichael not only keeps the jokes flying the whole time, but makes them better when it's at its most Very Special.May 30, 2017
Uneven, but the core strength remains -- a sitcom that embraces the uncomfortable, and sometimes the unmentionable.May 31, 2017
Carmichael and his creative team are very consciously attempting to raise the ante on what they've done before. I respect that ambition even if the writers are surely leaving some easier laughs on the table in an effort to expand boundaries.May 31, 2017
Even when it's preachy, the show is always engaging, and I'd recommend it to anyone who likes a sitcom with a sting.May 31, 2017
In the end, The Carmichael Show is a rare sitcom that isn't afraid to call out its characters when they start acting like sitcom characters. And it makes for quite the conversation starter.
