Send Help is a brand new comedy series from ALLBLK, premiering in 2022. The show follows two friends, Jai and Brody, who live in Los Angeles and are struggling to make ends meet. Jai is a struggling actor and Brody is a struggling writer, but they share a love for all things pop culture and a bond that keeps them going through tough times.

Jean Elie stars as Jai, a charismatic and upbeat guy who always sees the bright side of things, even when he's facing rejection after rejection at every audition. Amin Joseph plays Brody, a more quiet and introspective type, but with a razor-sharp wit and observational skills that make him the perfect partner in crime for Jai.

The show starts with Jai getting evicted from his apartment, leading him to crash on Brody's couch. Despite the inconvenience, the two of them are excited to spend more time together and support each other through their respective struggles. As their friendship deepens, they begin to come up with wild and creative schemes to make money and follow their dreams.

One of the highlights of the show is the way it celebrates pop culture in all its forms. Jai and Brody are obsessed with everything from comic books to sci-fi movies to obscure TV shows, and the show is full of references and nods to their favorite properties. But it's not just a show for geeks – the humor is broad and accessible, with plenty of physical comedy and one-liners that anyone can enjoy.

Another key aspect of the show is its focus on the black experience. Jai and Brody are both black men trying to make it in Hollywood, and their struggles with racism and prejudice are a constant presence in the show. But rather than dwelling on the negative, the show celebrates the resilience and humor of its characters in the face of adversity.

Along with Elie and Joseph, the show boasts a talented supporting cast that includes some familiar faces. Tisha Campbell-Martin plays Jai's no-nonsense mother, who never hesitates to tell him the hard truths he needs to hear. Chris Redd of Saturday Night Live fame appears in a recurring role as an eccentric pop culture enthusiast who befriends Jai and Brody. And veteran character actor Kenan Thompson has a memorable guest appearance in one episode.

Overall, Send Help is a hilarious and heartwarming show that is sure to resonate with anyone who has ever struggled to make their dreams come true. With its talented cast, diverse representation, and lovingly crafted references to pop culture, it's a show that is uniquely poised to win over audiences of all stripes. Don't miss it when it premieres in 2022 on ALLBLK.
