Every episode of that "#blackAF" show (Netflix) is titled "because of slavery"

[lamont614]

After the first two episodes it finds its rhythm. Episodes 5-8 were VERY good in my opinion.


Maybe its because I knew what to expect going in, but the only thing I found cringe was the kids being so disrespectful. I understand being a rebellious teen but calling your FATHER a dikk? Call me old fashioned but thats not something i’ve ever seen in even the most liberal of black families.


Other than the over the top disrespect from the kids, its what everyone else already said, its the “Real” Black-ish. And thats not a bad thing. Episode 5 was the best episode, and you can tell its one Kenya felt strongly about the subject matter. I feel like the show would be best served in later seasons by being more of a “fly on the wall of successful black creator in Hollywood” than as “Black Modern Family”. The scenes with the writer’s room, the scenes with Tyler Perry, the scenes with dissecting his feelings on the film he hated, the scenes with Will Packer, Ava Duvernay, Issa Rae, and Lena Waithe. THAT was unique, fresh, and interesting in perspective and execution.

you real I might give it a try

I’m enjoying this show. Almost done binging it

Seems like a “black” show written by White people for White people and Black people who only hang out with White people to watch.

Yet another one who didn't read anything in the thread past the bs on the first page.

Dapped and repped. Never a bad thing to be proven wrong. It still never quite feels right that slavery is a frequent punchline or treated like a joke by Hollywood writers.

I ain't denying that, and I ain't denying that the Holocaust gets a different treatment like it way more off-limits. I just don't like absolute statements, no one has total control like that and there's always a counterexample to everything.

I enjoy this show, breadwinner black man with smart big family. He talks about racism, and other issues that happens. He just happens to be rich black man, does that make you low achieving nikkas mad? This should make you want to step ya game up.

If a cac show like Shameless can go 10 seasons, this should go 5 easily.

And like others said, it picks up by episode 5 if you stick with it. The 2 part finale in Fiji was really good.

Literally no one on that show can act

What Black people are supposed to relate to this shyt
