Kathryn VanArendonk New York Magazine/Vulture Sketch shows are often best known for the careers they launch. For In Living Color, which insisted on doing working-class humor with its black cast in spite of the mainstream trend toward Cosby-style respectability. Nov 16, 2018 Full Review Rolling Stone Staff Rolling Stone [In Living Color] became widely popular anyway, shifting pop culture by refusing to bend to it. Sep 13, 2018 Full Review Drew Voros Variety The cast works very hard, displaying pizazz and energy, yet it needs more consistent material to shine. (That never stopped "SNL" from holding its audience.) "In Living Color" carries similar potential every time out of the box. Sep 7, 2018 Full Review Josh Wigler IGN Movies Over the course of its turbulent five-season history, [it] tackled the sketch comedy scene in a way its gargantuan competitor [SNL] couldn't touch: with a diverse cast of comedians, voices from all walks of life tackling risky subject matter. Nov 16, 2018 Full Review Omar Holmon Black Nerd Problems I constantly refer back to In Living Color as a peak excellence in the execution of crafting a message and coming through with its delivery.
