Upon its release, the show received much publicity due to Powell blogging for The Huffington Post, which highlighted each episode of the show. The blogs discussed race, politics, relationships, friendship, marriage, and other current events as it relates to specific moments in the web series. Particularly, his blog post highlighting the "You Talk White" phenomenon (promoting the episode "Baller") received widespread attention on NPR, HuffPost Live, and various international news blogs.
