New Suburban Comedy Unpacks Racism

In February, a new comedy series titled 'The 'Burbs' has emerged as a compelling new show. Palmer, who also serves as an executive producer, stars as Samira Fisher, a Black woman who is new to the suburban neighborhood where her husband grew up.

Samira's discomfort in her new surroundings is palpable, especially as she notices peculiar actions from her neighbor, Gary. The series balances natural humor with the very real experiences of casual racism and social commentary, drawing parallels to films like 'Get Out' but with its own distinct approach.

Alongside Palmer, the comedy ensemble includes Lynn Gardner, Dana Richards, and Tod, who contribute to the show's humor through their eccentric characters. Samira often finds herself as the 'straight man' amidst their antics, yet the show effectively uses these dynamics to generate laughs while exploring deeper themes.

The entire first season of 'The 'Burbs' is now available for viewing, inviting audiences to uncover the mysteries surrounding Gary and the neighborhood.
