#BlackAF - Netflix TV Series (Kenya Barris & Rashida Jones/April 17th)

[humminbird]

part of me thinks they did this not only because of the Kenya fallout but because the other black sitcoms were failing
they obviously had an initiative that started with buying up the other popular old black sitcoms and then create an assortment of shows that would eventually replace those shows
it sucks though this show was good

What other black sitcoms did they produce? Were they any good?

I really liked this show. I was looking forward to season 2.

I learned to never get invested in netflix shows, after one or two seasons they either get cancelled or the quality drops significantly.

I haven't watched them yet but the Jamie Foxx show is canceled and there's no word on the Upshaws yet

Upshaws should get renewed, it was a easy and funny watch. I only made through 2 episodes of the Jaime Foxx show, I bushed it and never looked back

I wanted a season 2 of #BlackAF, i liked it better than those blackish spinoffs other than Grownish. Burris seems to be at fork in a road now that people are burnt out on the "Ish" shows but he has talent so I hope he produces something good soon

Said it in another thread, but the hate this show got was completely unwarranted. It's one thing to seek diversity in representation, but it's something completely different to think that a show isn't up to par because it doesn't resemble your family/personal take on Blackness. The show was also dope because it married both race AND class. The latter was a nice touch because of the economic based cultural nuances they trafficked in to the plot.

I hope they at least follow through with the movies. Might as well run season one back for fukkery's sake.

I knew it was done when he left his Netflix deal last year for Viacom

Glad it didn't get a season 2, the show was trash and he is a bad actor imo.

Too bad there won’t be a second season. I thought the show was hilarious. My girl didn’t like it because she said the humor was going over her head. shyt was dope to me.
