The five episode season can feel like 20 to 30 minute vignettes from Vince Staples' worst fears and recurring nightmares stemming from becoming famous.
These fears include being locked up in prison, to meeting a class of unethused kids, and even the belief that everyone who knows Staples wants to beat him up.
Like a black Charlie Brown, Staples guides the audience on absurd adventures and proves himself to be a worthy straight character that we’re willing to follow anywhere.
But as the show plays out like cartoon vignettes, the lack of an overarching narrative or plot to invest in makes the show feel small and non-consequential.
