#BlackAF

I'm black...I'm a woman...and I'm mixed - but this show was NOT funny. I barely made it through the first ep!! I tried, I swear I did, but it just didnt "land" with me...

What the he!! Do you mean there is no second season? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? I mean, I get it. You want to reach a bigger audience (franchise etc.) but couldn't you have also achieved that with another couple seasons? I've binged watched this at least six times since discovering it and each time laugh harder than the last. It's funny as hell along with edgy dialogue ... perfect casting (Rashida Jones blows me away) ..all the kids have "issues" (except for second eldest daughter, Leyah tasked with the burden of explaining just how her wacky family came to be) and right in the middle is poor "put upon" dad, Kenya who walks around with a troubled...befuddled expression as if this whole success thing is not quite what he thought it would be. Also, love the way he manages to squeeze in Black History and social commentary...it is pure genius. I was so looking forward to Season #2. Sooooo I repeat .... WHAT THE HELL, DUDE????

Ok, so from a purely entertainment aspect, I really like this show. The situations are mostly real BUT....I do not know ANY Black families where the kids swear at and/or with their parents. Even adults fear using such language around their parents. I'm sure there are some who do, but that is the biggest unrelateable aspect in my opinion. Maybe that's a new parenting style that my 51- year old self is not used to. Aside from that, I'm a fan of Kenya's work. I watch all of his shows.

This is funny! It's another hit from Kenya Barris. I read some of the low user ratings and have to wonder "who raised you!?" No, Kenya isn't Denzel with the acting chops, but this isn't that kind of show. It's like Black-ish, Curb Your Enthusiam, and Modern Family all rolled into one. And, it's deep fried in some really interesting, nontrivial facts that will be new to the vast majority of audiences. That's quality and you get to do it on Netflix so you can just go for it and say what you want without the censors tripping over themselves. If you like either of those shows and you know how Gen X parents are... this is probably going to be one of your new favorites.

I'm a fan of all Kenya Barris shows. My DVR is set to record Black-ish, Grown-ish, and Mix-ish. I binged watched BlackAF and was impressed by the concept of the show. There is one thing that truly stands out about his shows. He always include true facts about black history. I'm a black woman and I've learned some things about our history that I didn't know. In the end, all the shows come together with a message every race can relate to. Keep up the great work KB...
