Review: Oh My God, Yes “Pilot”

Imagine if Futurama was set about 600 years earlier but in South Central, Los Angeles and you’d have the gist of what Oh My God, Yes is all about. Three Black women navigating the world of sex, dating, and being a woman in the 30th century. Not content with just humankind, it appears everybody’s fucking everything now, anthropomorphic characters, robots, and everything and anything in between.

The aesthetic is straight out of the zeitgeist that is Adele “Supreme” Williams and does all of the correct things you want to see when it comes to producing an animated series in that she’s the pen, she’s the voice, and she’s got a pathos that shines all the way through her craft. Joining her in the voice cast is Tristen J. Winger (Jamal), Dominique Perry, Gary Anthony Williams, Xosha Roquemore, and more in a series produced by 6 Point Harness Studios and Look Mom! Productions on the back-end.

Overall, not only did I really enjoy the pilot episode of the series, I think this world created by Adele “Supreme” Williams has enough world in it to support a 24-minute series. The characters are hilarious, the juxtaposition of today’s world increasingly merging with the future begs for all sorts of storyline possibilities, and the aesthetic is gritty, matching the long known aesthetic of what we all know of South Central, Los Angeles.
