Director Statement

From creator K.L. Reeves':

Growing up, I rarely saw characters on TV that reminded me of my friends. Young black men, leading. Strong but Fallible. Curious and Humble. Loving. Fiery. Cool. Toni Morrison said, “If there’s a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.” For years, I attempted to capture the beauty of our range on the page in the literary world. Making the switch to the screen, I had to do the same, but I also created Furious and Fat Cat because I needed to laugh. Today, there’s a lot more people out there that want to laugh with us. These are extraordinary times and with the right support Furious and Fat Cat is the kind of show that meets the entertainment needs of the times.
