New NBC Comedy 'Marlon:' White People 'Genetically Predisposed' to Be Racist

If you can pull yourself from the wall-to-wall coverage of President Trump for the third day in a row, you will find that NBC recently premiered its latest sitcom Marlon on August 16. Marlon focuses Marlon Williams (Marlon Wayans) keeping up a cordial relationship with his ex-wife Ashley (Essence Atkins) as they raise their kids together. In contrast with the racially-charged and often hostile voices in the news media, the show comes off as surprisingly harmless. But even in one episode, that feeling can’t last.
