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.'

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.

Uneven, but the core strength remains -- a sitcom that embraces the uncomfortable, and sometimes the unmentionable.

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.

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.

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.

Even when it's preachy, the show is always engaging, and I'd recommend it to anyone who likes a sitcom with a sting.
