I’m nearly sure that the creators of Espresso & Kareem began with the title after which labored out a film that’d match it. The Netflix unique comedy launched yesterday, exhibiting the adventures of police officer James Espresso and 12-year-old boy Kareem Manning. They hate one another’s guts, however for some completely uncontrived cause find yourself working collectively to battle some sort of prison community. They’re the basic odd couple.
Regardless of some blended evaluations, Espresso & Kareem appears to be taking place a storm with viewers, with many people discovering it to be hilarious. And right here’s only a choice of what’s being mentioned on social media:

That final one, specifically, rubs me up the incorrect means with its snooty dismissal of “the streaming lots.” Learn the room guys, there’a a particularly miserable pandemic happening and 1000’s of individuals the world over are dying day-after-day. Are you able to blame of us caught indoors for wanting to flee that by watching a fairly ridiculous sounding comedy a couple of mismatched cop/child pairing?
Moreover, it’s these “lots” that fund the low viewers artsy-fartsy stuff that Netflix additionally releases. I’m not going to sit down right here and declare that Espresso & Kareem is a few sort of basic, even within the “dumb comedies” style, however I don’t wish to dwell in a world the place low-paid comedy writers can’t pay their hire by placing two nouns collectively, pretending they’re practical surnames and spinning a fast n’ soiled Netflix unique out of it.
Let’s hope Espresso & Kareem does nicely, as a result of who’s to say there shouldn’t be a sequel? And, if a Netflix commissioning editor occurs to be studying this, I recommend John Espresso and Kareem Manning get paired with a Nice Dane referred to as Sugar for his or her subsequent journey. You may put my cheque within the publish.
