Tired of these corny middle to upper class Black family sitcoms
They're not corny because of that but how they portray it
I'd still give this a shot if kenya barris wasnt playing himself

Yeah, she is on Blackish but in this show she is playing a different character. I'm assuming they liked working together.
Trailer was alright. I assumed he might do something that was in a different lane from Blackish when he got the Netflix deal, also didn't know he acted.
Not gonna go on an extended rant
But this feels like Chipotle-ized commodified "black culture "...like there was a trailer full of black people....yet the shyt didnt feel black at all
I dont watch much television , but this is consistent at least with what ive seen with contemporary tv
Lol are black folks being steered into a more palatable marketable "blackness" through our media consumption?
Lol pardon my tinfoil moment, but this shyt look plastic as hell
