Anyone watch to promo?

Thoughts? Looks like it might be funny, but it is TBS.

Nasim Pedrad (female) will play the 14 year old boy.

"A 14-year-old Persian boy desperately tries to fit in, cope with his mother's dating life, and figure out his cultural identity."

is a female playing a male part of the show or it's just their attempt at placating the woke crowd

either way I have zero interest of watching any of this show

How does a female playing a male role fly in today's culture?

I'm guessing the whole premise of the show was to do just that.

When I read Chad, first thing I thought of was a Chad vs Anti-Social Virgin meme. That would probably make a better show.

I’ll say this - her impression of aziz ansari is pretty good

Absolutely putrid looking.
I bet despite abysmal ratings, this show will survive a while.

isn't "Chad" a derogatory euphemism for straight white males Basically, like "Karen" with a different meaning.

Chad isn’t derogatory, it’s the opposite. Someone will be called chad if they’re hyper masculine/dominant.

Nasim is a hot Persian chick.

But I don't get this concept at all. Of course it's going to fail.

Being called a Chad is 100% derogatory.

This looks beyond unwatchable.

My thoughts are that you and I clearly either haven't seen the same promos for this show, or we have two literally completely opposites of what is funny or not.

There are tons of things this show makes me think it will be. Creepy, weird, woke, etc. But "funny" isn't anywhere near it.
