Hammertime — Season 1

Critics Reviews

Ginia Bellafante New York Times "Hammertime" goes into race-politics overload to prove that black rappers can be top-grade family men ascribing to yuppie values. They can do the disciplining and the emotional sharing and make everyone want to achieve. Oct 2, 2019 Full Review Keith Phipps AV Club It's all very warm and fuzzy and relentlessly dull.It also doesn't help that it feels forced. Hammer plays constantly to the camera like the tireless showman he is, but everyone else speaks as if being put through take three or four of any given scene. Rated: C Oct 2, 2019 Full Review Brian Lowry Variety There are several story editors credited, but the first two back-to-back half-hours make it anybody's guess what all of them were doing, since there's nothing resembling a show here. Oct 2, 2019 Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media This lighthearted show uses humor and sensitivity to highlight the importance of family, education, and maintaining a physically, emotionally, and financially healthy lifestyle. Rated: 3/5 Oct 2, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
