Saying HBO's Random Acts of Flyness is unlike anything you've seen before is an understatement

Entertainment Weekly

Terence Nance's new avant-garde multimedia late-night series is "part documentary, part animation, part musical, part talk show — and wholly focused on what it is to be black in America," as Aja Hoggatt explains. In fact, Nance has been working on the idea for his show for more than a decade. “I think I was in college — I can’t remember exactly when I had it, but I remember I had the direct document I wrote down in 2006. It was like the same thing as it is now…But the kind of first time it got going, to the point where there’s full emotion and momentum … was in about 2014.”
