As Damon Wayans Jr. continues to take over “Poppa’s House,” it feels like if there is a season 2, the whole show needs to be reconfigured.
“The Day Before Christmas” gives you a corny but likable romance building around Christmas.
As shifts in romantic relationships happen, Mel has a moment while she and Robyn are in state prison.

The overall goal of Wherever I Look is to fill in that space between the average fan and critic and advise you on what’s worth experiencing.
