The Soul Man

2012–2016 · 5 seasons

A gentle, joke-a-minute sitcom that coasts on easy charm and the friction of a family adjusting to a humbler life.

Overview: R&B superstar-turned-minister Reverend Boyce "The Voice" Ballentine was living the high life in Las Vegas at the top of the music charts when he gets the calling to go from soul singer to soul saver. Relocating to St. Louis with his wife, Lolli and his daughter, Lyric to take over the preaching duties in his father's church, his family is not exactly eager to give up the fabulous superstar life for a humble one.
How it feels: Warm, light, earnest and satirical. Brisk and fine in the background.
About: Family, faith, identity, class
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
