Mixed·ish

Rainbow Johnson from Black-ish recalls her childhood. She was 12 in the summer of 1985. She grew up in a commune but they got raided by the government. Her family is forced to move into the suburbs.

This is a spin-off and a prequel to Black-ish. It's a fun. To be honest, Black-ish had been losing steam over the years. Any sense of ground-breaking is fading from that franchise. I like this spin and I like this family group. I like the awkwardness of teenage Rainbow. I actually like this show more than its parent show. It's a simple coming-of-age show. It's canceled after two seasons. I don't know what's going on with Kenya Barris skipping from deal to deal. I would have liked this to continue. I like both the nostalgia and the coming-of-age aspect.
