The comedian Jerrod Carmichael spends a remarkable amount of time in his new HBO series, “Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show,” with his head in his hands like Henri Vidal’s 19th-century statue of Cain after he has killed his brother Abel.
Maybe that’s fitting, since the series focuses on Carmichael’s tortured process of coming out, and like many people who bravely take that step, arriving at the realization that, in a sense, the old you must die so that the new you can live. More pointedly, you must kill the you who is false.
Coming out isn’t always followed by congratulations and celebrations, even today. And for people like Carmichael - and me - who come from religious families and have family members who struggle to reconcile their religious beliefs with our insistence on being free and being seen, it can also be wrenching.
Exposing that dilemma to the world is one of the great services Carmichael performs with his series.

The Root on Episode 4 (Why Jerrod Carmichael Was Dead Wrong For Tricking His Dad into Discussing Family Secrets on Video)
Article here: www.theroot.com/jerrod-carmic...
Carmichael stepped into a different Circle of Hell in Episode 4, which sees him take a road trip with his father Joe Carmichael to the latter’s hometown of Dillon. S.C. Because many old Black dads don’t want to go anywhere except the other side of their own house, Joe apparently needed some convincing before agreeing to go.
The episode seemed like it was headed toward a welcome reprieve from Carmichael’s wild ego trips masked as spurious “reality” television - until we realize that he curated the whole trip specifically to trap Joe into tough on-camera conversations.
